Making all media on track the same length
I have been doing some time lapse photography and have imported 300 images into Sony Vegas Pro 12 and they are all the same resolution 5184×3456.
I have put these all into one track and would like to know how to make sure all the images are the same time length and also make sure they are all cropped in 16:9 rather than 4:3. I could do this by adjusting each image individually, but this would be quite time consuming, especially when I have lots of images. Is there an easier way of doing this?

[David McCormick] ” Is there an easier way of doing this?”
You could use a productivity plug-in like VASST Still Motion ($9.95) to make all of the photos the same length, cropped to the project aspect, apply transitions, cut to music, and a whole lot more.
It is very similar to our full Photo Montage tool:

Two ways:
1) The following options (Options > Preferences > Editing tab) can help you:
New still image length – set it BEFORE adding images to timeline.
Automatically crop still images added to timeline will crop the image so its size will completely fill the preview area. Aspect ratio depends on the project settings, so if your project is 16:9, they will be cropped exactly as you want.
2) Third-party extensions can save you many hours of editing. -
Hi John,
That would work great for what I want, thanks!

Hi,
Thanks, tried the Options > Preferences > Editing tab and it worked fine for putting the still images on the timeline.
I found out if you select the first image in the timeline and change its pan/crop to how you want it, right click the image and press “copy”, then go to the last image in the timeline you want to have the same pan/crop and shift-click it to select all media before it and then right click (or it might be shift + right click) and press “paste event attributes” and that makes all the media have the same pan/crop.
Not sure if that works for adding other events as I haven’t tried that yet.

Paste Event Attributes works if your images have the same dimensions
