Hi Bob

Sounds like you have accidently added “Glint” to the Video Track FX.
If you haven’t turned on FX for the track yet, you will have to do that step first!
I’m guessing this is what is causing the confusion.

1. Press “three dots” in top left corner of track control box, for your Text Track, and select Edit Visible Button Set.
2. To keep things simple, Select All and OK.
3. Now press FX button (in track control box) and delete “Glint FX” from FX chain.

Any custom font you install into Windows, will automatically become available in the Font drop down list in VEGAS Pro. Make sure to use this Text Generator only!
Go to Media Generators / Titles & Text
Highlight text you want to change – very important!
Open Text Font drop-down list and select the font

Hi Rich
Thanks for posting this helpful tip.
I had no idea this app existed. I watched his video on YouTube which shows how it works.
Cheers 😀

Hi Otto
If I am understanding you correctly, you have a Windows problem, not a VEGAS Pro problem.
Your screen shot is showing Recently Used Files on your W11 system.
The only way I know of to control that, is in File Explorer Options Windows 11 settings.
Personally I have that setting turned off, otherwise I get an overload of file data showing.
Using the Windows Search box in your Taskbar, search “File Explorer Options” and select option.
On my system I have all Privacy options turned off.
It might also be worth pressing the Clear button.

Excellent! Thanks for posting back 😀
There are some very cool tricks you can do, when adding key-frames!

Hi again
I posted in a hurry this morning, and have now revised my solution/s.

There are 2x different VP20 .veg project files for you to look at:
1. Version #1 is the exact same method you created, but with fixed Key-Frames that don’t shift in aspect ratio, as they spin upwards.
2. Version #2 is my simplified method – the same one I explained with screen shots.

Personally, I think your method #1 is more elegant and looks nicer!
In both project files, I have included a basic image, so you don’t have to muck around swapping files out.

Thanks for .veg file.
It took me a while to work out what was wrong!
The problem is your Event Frame is changing aspect ratio as it moves from one key-frame to the next.
It can get very complicated to explain, so here is the method I recommend.
I have also uploaded a file you can experiment with. When you open my .veg file, substitute image with one of your own 16×9 images – make sure it’s 16×9 aspect ratio, so you see what I saw. My .veg was made with VP23. If you are using older version, let me know and I’ll make with your version of VEGAS Pro!

Using my method, you are going to move the Center of event frame, way outside to the right.

1. Clean slate project. Zoom way out in event pan crop for first image. Then grab hold of center dot and move to right. What distance you choose is up to you.

2. Drag corner of image diagonally to “zoom out” and make image smaller.

3. Hover near circle until spin icon appears and spin upwards. Make sure it creates an actual Key-Frame. Click on key-frame if it does not auto-create.

4. Move along 5 seconds, then spin circle down. That’s it.

Hi Neil
The fastest way to solve your problem, is to share your .veg project file. It contains no video or image files, but will show me ALL of your settings.
It sounds like you have multiple problems:
1. Possible mismatch between Project Properties, Events on Timeline and the Render Template frame dimensions you selected.
2. You have also accidentally added Key-Frames to the Event Pan/Crop window and/or Track Motion window, which is why it is constantly shifting at the bottom of the frame. I suspect Event Pan/Crop contains most of the errors.
I’m not sure if CreativeCOW allows the uploading of .veg files? You may have to create a zip file before upload is allowed. Or, upload .veg file to Google Drive and share link, so I can download. After I open your file and find errors, I can upload screen shots to show what to fix.
Regards
Derek
