Ok.
I have 3 channels=

1- background picture
2- Another picture
3- clip playing over them.

When I zoom, I want the same zoom in all channels and not having to zoom one by one.
If I open channel 2 event pan/crop and zoom in, the others won’t follow it, only channel 2 pic will zoom in.

Got it?

I guess Steve will also answer, but the way I do it is to Add another track above track 1 ( which will be the matser track ) and then make your original 3 tracks Childs of the Track you have just added. Then if you use the Track Motion control ( the far left track motion icon of the Added track ) if will move all tracks together. Then just keyframe the Top Master track as required.. John

I thought about something like that but how do I make them child of that master track?

On your Track 1 which is now track 2 because you have added a track about your track 1, to the righthand side of the track header on the left you will see 2 arrows. Click the one that points down on all of your tracks ( the original ones ) . You will then see the master track and then your tracks indented

As you realise by now Joao, its not called channels, its Tracks
or Timeline, thats why your question was a little confusing.

John Bolton explained beautifully exactly what you need to do
to have everything zooming in at the same time, even making the
parent track 3D for a smoother process, its for you
now to practice on that and get the desired effect you want,
do some reading on Parent and Child Composits in Vegas.

As Steve says you can make all tracks 3D by clikcing the Green Icons and selection 3D Source Alfa. Make sure you do them all. Then using the master track motion for can adjust various angles of view apart from just zooming,,… John
