Activity Forums VEGAS Pro No cursor motion in Event Pan/Crop Window

  • No cursor motion in Event Pan/Crop Window

    Posted by Doug Ray on October 6, 2011 at 4:30 pm

    I’m new to Vegas Pro 9 — When I position the cursor on the Pan/Crop Window timeline, and hit spacebar (or Enter, or Play)to play, nothing happens. All motion does work in the Event Timeline — but not in the Pan/Crop Window timeline — And it HAS worked in the past. Maybe I’ve accidentally changed a setting? Any help would be MOST appreciated!

    You need to enable the Sync Cursor button at the bottom left of the Pan/Crop timeline.

    Thanks for your speedy reply. How do I enable the sync cursor button? Clicking it either way has no effect on enabling cursor movement. Thank you for any help.

    Additional info on previous: What I’m trying to do is to hit the space bar (or play or return) to start and stop the movement of the cursor inside the Event Pan/Crop window. The synch button only ties it to the cursor on the event timeline. My only recourse seems to be to drag the cursor in the Event Pan/Crop window manually to determine the placement of the edit points — A very rough an ragged way to do it. Any ideas?

    I just checked and Pro 8, 9 and 10 all behave the way you’ve described.
    If you want to see where you are in Pan/Crop, you have to pause timeline playback.

    Thanks so much for checking. I’m using a Bella 4200 keyboard, and have just now discovered that the keyboard’s control knob provides steady slow motion movement of the cursor across the Pan/Crop window. But I haven’t yet figured out how to make it stop! I’ll keep trying, a post an answer in case anyone else may be interested. Thanks again.
