Appreciate all the help.

Will you use this approach?

For now, since I need to get a job done, I will go with the copy and paste method and just use the keyframe to do the tracking.

Once I complete that job, I will experiment with your suggestion.

In the past, when I used either the pan and crop or the track motion, it was applied across the entire track. That was a long time ago so I might be mistaken. With your suggested method, can I do either of your two suggested methods for each individual clip while still keeping just two tracks, one for the highlight events and one for the media clips?

Lastly, am I able to save the combined event so that I can easily access it when opening a new project or do I have to manually insert the two saved presets the first time for a new project, then do the copy and paste method?

Mahalo,

Track Motion is applied to the Track. Pan/Crop is applied to the Event.

Yes, it’s a Vegas Project, like any other you would save. You can save the Combo Event within something called Soccer Combo Event.veg, use it with NEW footage and save as another name.

I am interested in using one of your techniques but I don’t have much experience using either. If I have multiple clips and I need to have the size of the oval vary due to player size, so I be using the track motion or pan/crop?

For example, I may have 50 clips and I will be copying the combo event in the same video track overlay. Each combo event may need a slightly different oval size due to zooming of the raw video. Once I set the size of the oval for a specific combo event, which technique should I be using and how do I “animate” the movement of the oval for the short interval to highlight the player?
