Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Sony Vegas Pro 8 Pan Problems

  • Sony Vegas Pro 8 Pan Problems

    Posted by Devin Mohr on December 13, 2008 at 1:38 am

    Okay so straight to the point,

    I was using Sony Vegas Pro 8 to edit (obviously) and I was masking a video when I went to grab the top of the masking window to pull it over a few inches so I could see the main window of the video, (make sure I was masking nicely) and for some reason had a strange jerk in my hand and pulled the pan/masking window off screen below my computer’s menu bar.

    Now, every time I click on the pan icon on the clips and the pan/mask window tries to form it drags down off screen where I cannot reach it. Thus I have no way to pan or mask in my clips – which is extremely frustrating.

    If there is a key short-cut to calling the pan.mask window of a clip – I haven’t found it and haven’t tried it, so I’m not sure if it could help my problem. And if there’s a way to pull windows up once they’ve gone below the green “start” menu bar on a PC, I’m unaware.
    It should also be noted that I run an imac using a program to run windows XP in another window.

    Please, how can I reach my pan/mask window?

    Just simply “auto hide” your task bar (right click on it,
    click properties and tick auto hide) you can now
    retrieve the hidden vegas window when the task bar drops
    out of view….when done you can set it back.

    Hi Devin,

    In the “Event Pan/Crop” window, on the right side, in the “Workspace” section, the first item is “Zoom (%)”, you can put in something like 13, and it will zoom out so that you should see your clip.

    Evening,
    So thank you for all your support – in the end (after trying a technique of several of you opinions and suggestions) my parallels window running Windows XP glitched out and I was able to find the window and pull it back on screen –
    so thank you all!
