does Vegas automatically render effects etc with ‘render as’ or should i pre render everything first?

John, there’s no need to pre-render as Vegas will render all FX on the timeline when you do a “render as”.
Here’s where you’ll miss Velocity’s real-time capabilities 🙁 -
thx Mike, are we allowed to mention the V word? btw are there any alternatives to pan/crop for the Ken Burns/rostrum effect? i think that’s his name

For the Ken Burns effect, you definitely want to use Pan/Crop.

Here’s a direct link to one of Edward’s newsletters (PDF format) where he discusses this technique.
If you’re not using Vegas 7, one gotcha to watch out for is to make sure you set the Smoothness value to 0 before you do any keyframing of an image.
The default in Vegas 6 and earlier is 1.0 and, if left at this value, it’ll cause a bump at the end of any keyframed move.
Smoothness is in the Pan/Crop window and is found under Keyframe Interpolation (menu on the left-hand side).
BTW, this has to be done for each image that you want to Pan/Crop. -
Thx Mike, thx Ed, how critical is filenaming? does it have to be xxx.0001, xxx.0002 etc, like tgs’s for animation?

John, doing it that way makes things (IMO) much easier as Windoze won’t do any strange sorting quirks on you.
In case you don’t know it, you can bring in a series of stills as an animation.
File – Import to the folder that the images are in, click the first one, click the “Open still image sequence” box at the bottom of the screen and then click Open.
Vegas will automatically load all the files in the sequence and import them as an already-assembled animation ready to be dropped on your timeline.
