Zoom and pan on stills
I am new to Sony Vegas and already I’m about to tear my hair out!
I’m using the Event Pan/Crop feature and the only kind of zooming I’m allowed, it seems, is on the “Workspace”. I’m trying to do a simple zoom and pan, like a spotlight, on a still without losing any aspect of the picture. I don’t want a cheesy Wipe effect! Just a zoom with slow pan, a la PBS.
Any guidance/tutorials/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Start with your curser on the first frame of the event. Select event pan/ crop. Set a keyframe (see bottom of keyframe timeline) Now move your curser to the end (or anywhere you want your movement to end) and grab ahold of a corner of the workspace and pull out to zoom out and push in to zoom in. Watch your preview screen to see what it is doing. To pan click in the middle of the picture somewhere and drag it to the ending spot. This all will automatically create another keyframe (diamond) on the keyframe timeline. There are various controls for how smoothly the motion moves etc but lets get you crawling first. If you now play this section you should have a picture or video that zooms in or out and pans.

Hi
Excalibur and Ultimate S (plugins) also have the ability to automatically do photo montages as well and a lot easier if you have a bunch of stills you want to animate.Ultimae-S at

Wow. Guess I really needed sleep last night! I was typing in the settings instead of using the actual workspace. Thank you so much!
