Wow! How easy! Thanks so much for taking a moment of your time to point me in the right direction!

Bob,
Thanks for your help! I should have mentioned that I had attempted to rotate the clips in Vegas, but I always end up with a large frame of background aound the clip, so that the clip appears in just a small frame in the center of the screen. (This does not happen for me when I rotate clips of other file formats using external software and then import them for use in Vegas.) Is the resulting frame a necessary artifact of rotation — or am I doing something wrong?)
Feel free to respond; I’d love your help. However, I’ve just realized that there is a Vegas Basics forum (not sure how I missed this), and that this question belongs there, I am sure. So sorry!

Thanks so much, John and Roger! I appreciate the tip, as I had not yet thought about the fact that lengthening a clip would result in a last keyframe that was not aligned with the end of the clip. As I went into each of my clips to explore this, however, it became clear to me that all of my last keyframes were already aligned with the end of the clip. (None of my clips have been lengthened since being dropped onto the timeline, as I set my preferences to the desired clip length before starting this project. This may, however, been the problem in some of my previous projects.) Here’s where it gets interesting, though: Just to practice this skill, I slid the last keyframe to the left (earlier in the clip) and then slid it back into its original position (at the end of the clip). After doing this, the pause/freeze/hiccup went away — and the panning continued smoothly through the fade! It seems like a strange solution to me, given that the keyframe was already at the end of the clip to begin with. I’ve tried it on each clip in the project, and it reliably solved the problem! I’m still left a bit frustrated, though, as this makes so little sense to me. (I assure you that the last keyframes were ALREADY aligned with the end of each clip, so I’m not sure why adjusting them and then moving them back would make a difference.) This will be a very time-consuming fix, and I’m hoping to find a more direct way to solve this problem in the future…
If you have any other ideas, let me know! Regardless, your ideas prompted a discovery that has fixed the problem — and I am so grateful for your time!
