    Just got Vegas Pro 22, using Windows 11. Using Motion Tracking and PIP for the first time. Goal is to cover part of my video with another image. After selecting the area, the motion tracking works great, but when transferring date to clip with image and selecting add PIP to clip, the image does not completely fill the mask area. I have set the aspect ratio of the image to unlocked. Attached image below shows in video preview the image not covering the rectangle behind it, which is the shape of the mask I created in motion tracking. Adjusting image in Pan/Crop doesn’t work and can’t resize PIP because there are hundreds of keyframes from motion tracking.

    For the first time doing it, at least it seems you did a good job tracking the image using a lot of keyframes to do so. However my theory of why perhaps the image in front of the rectangular shape is not fully working is because its possible you may have to line the images in accordance to the movements of the keyframes that you have set up cause I imagine the keyframes directs the clip to move in different directions. Question, are you able to scale the image in front of the rectangle somehow fully at a certain timeline? Or is it because the scale limit was reached and cannot extend anymore? Perhaps a video showing how the keyframes work can help me understand better what the issue can be. Here is also a link that can help you better understand PIP in Vegas 22 if you need it: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/video-editing/how-to-do-picture-in-picture-video/

    Hope to hear from you soon! 🙂

    Thanks for your response! I found the problem. Under the Pan/Crop for the image there is a tab for source. When I opened this I found two items for keeping aspect ratio and expand to full frame. When I set these to NO it worked fine for me.

    Okay! Glad that you found a way to make it work again! 🙂
