same pan/cop settings across multiple events
Is there an easy way to maintain the same pan/crop settings across multiple events if there’s no keyframing needed?
I have a “tightly packed” timeline of an interview where I’ve edited down to the syllables in order to compact it. I’m recomposing alternating scenes framed in 1080p for 720p output. It’s annoying having to go into each event to apply a consistent pan/crop to 500 events where there are 8 alternating scenes with their own framing. sometimes you get 10 events in a row to which you would like the same pan/crop.
Many thanks.

did you try copying the event with the pan/crop settings you want and then selecting all the events and hitting “Paste Event Attributes”
I use that constantly.

That is a great tip. I never thought of that.
I tried it out just then. Only fly in the ointment is that it also “ADDED” effects from the effects chain to the target events.
Here’s what I did:
I selected an event which had the pan/crop attribute I wanted. So happened that this event also had a “Brightness and Contrast” filter applied (event level). I copied the event.
I pasted the event attribtes to clips which already had the same “Brightness and Contrast” filter applied. It resulted in them having the desired pan/crop, but it also stacked an additional instance of the “Brightness and Contrast” filter in the effects chain.Obviously in this situation, I could work around it by dragging all those events with the same “Brightness and Contrast” settings to a separate track and apply the effect at a track level, but I would have to maintain duplicate track level effects since Vegas doesn’t have adjustment layers (as will be introduced into Premiere Pro CS6).
Thanks for the tip though.
