–split clip at freeze point and move the right clip to start of moving image.
–make velocity 100% on right clip
–drag the end of left clip for the duration of freeze.There’s NO NEED to split the clip at the freeze point. Just move where you want normal speed to resume, add two more points, and set the second one to 100%
A single velocity envelope will do the entire task WITHOUT resorting to splitting or taking snapshots or creating sub-clips. Just use the velocity envelope to do it all!

To get it to work in the middle of a clip, you need to make it a SUB-CLIP that ends on that frame.

The “default” template is bad. It’s always recommended you start with one of the DVD Architect presets. You can also look at Vol 1 #7 of my newsletters for more info.

That’s basically what I was getting at. The script just makes the process easier. Steven, I meant the link to FourPoints to be an aid to create one for Velocity.

[Barend Jasper] “I often – accidently and unwantingly – click on either the ‘Event pan/crop…’ or Event FX…’ icon on the right of each event when trying to resize the event.”
I, personally, have not had a problem with this. You might try going to View – Video Event Buttons and you can turn them off. However, you’ll have to right-click to access them.
Don’t have time to answer the other half right now.

It looks like those are coming from the themes in some way. What if you start your own “Backgrounds” folder and then just pull them from there in the Explorer view?

Click on Preview. Now above the remote is a series of buttons. One of them is “Copy to Clipboard”. Click that button. Now open your paint program and PASTE.

Scripting makes this an EASY proposition. For example, Excalibur has the Four Points tool which will, essentially, do exactly what you are wanting. Create a selection area where you want the image frozen, run the tool, and it will create 4 nodes on the velocity envelope. You can then drag the center section down to 0%
Alternately, It also has a “freeze at cursor” option (technically it’s a “change to specified velocity at the cursor” option). It could then be used again to change back to normal speed.
There’s a “Four Points” tool available at: https://www.jetdv.com/scripts/FourPoints.js but it is set up to work with a Volume envelope. A modification would be required to get it to work with a Velocity envelope.
In my opinion, the velocity envelope is the best way to handle this type of thing.

Vegas 6 can preview to a secondary monitor.

Try Pan/Crop. It’s one of the buttons on the right edge of each video/generated media event.
