    Sure. Do both, to make it slower, you’d need it longer. I’ve done this tons of times.

    Yes you can simply drag an image from the ends to make it longer. Make sure you adjust your keyframes after doing so, or just redo them.

    Would it be good idea to make photos 16×9 aspect ratio in photoshop first?. I did a zoom pan with a non 16×9 but used the 16×9 preset in vegas but still you can see beginning of bars as it goes through the motion

    Thanks everyone for feedback

    Yes. It’s what I’ve done/do. Mostly any JPEG I capture it’s already good to go, but using a few RAWs I conform them to 16×9 in AfterShot Pro. Cropping in VP can be done, saved as an Image and then reintroduced. It all depends on the detail and sharpness you want.

    I try to conform and comply my Media prior to VP. ????
