Why there is no Cancel in Event Pan/Crop dialog

[Edward Troxel]

I guess you could delete the keyframe if you wanted to eliminate ALL changes at that time. Or right-click the keyframe and choose “restore” which will put it back to default settings.

Hard to say exactly without really knowing what you’re doing.

Thanks Edward. Once again, I need your help. What I means is most in applications I have options to save changes or exit without saving; however, all most all Vegas dialog windows do not have Save or Cancel. For example, in the Vegas Event Pan/Crop dialog window, what if I try something and decided not to apply changes to timeline. I just want to exit the Event Pan/Crop dialog window. Right now, I only see a [x] button on the top right corner which always apply changes to the timeline upon exit. Is this how Vegas works or am I missing something.

If you don’t want the changes you just made, you must use “UNDO”. In fact, you may have to undo multiple times if you made several changes in the window. There’s also a drop-down arrow beside the undo button which will let you undo several things at once.

Thanks for the confirmation. I don’t understand why Vegas doesn’t put a [y] button next to [x] button on all dialog boxes. It is much easier to click cancel than multiple Undos; more importantly, it is a mental model shift for me as this concept goes against all other window’s applications. I guess I have to live with this quirk.
