[Manish Dattani] “not Show in Vegas 15”
Make sure those Plugs versions are meant for VP15. I see Vitascene is up to Version 3. Maybe Prodad have updates for VP15.
BTW, I have ProDad Mercalli 4 working fine in VP15 Build 361.

[Julian Potter] “Is there an alignment button or an easier way to do this.”
Alignment Button, no. But I’ve used the Guides and Snapping in P/C and the Grid Dots Overlay in Preview to assist Alignment.

[matheus dale] “I would like to know how to fix this error.”
Make your Text size match your width. Looks to me you’ve started with small text and used zoom or some other pixel size increase. I’ve never had this issue.

Not at all. What would be dumb would be if you didn’t ask. ????
Right click on Track and select Insert Empty Event.

I’ve just refreshed my Brain Cell about this, by duplicating my instructions in Vp15: You don’t need to DUPLICATE your Event on the Parent Track. Just put in an EMPTY Event and the instructions you make for the Parent WILL influence the Child Track too.
I’m thinking that your Parent Event is interacting with the Child Track.

Yup, now I’ve read it I remember it well. The Maths and the Script points generation left me in their dust! But here you’re asking for a solution to something else.
My only feedback there was the option to use a Combo of Parent VERTICAL motion in conjunction with the Horizontal CHILD motion to generate a Curve. And am I correct that’s what you’re doing here? Yes?
However, you’re discovering some oscillation in the Vertical Axis requiring/needing you to nullify this by STARTING the PARENT VERTICAL outside of the Pan/Crop Frame. Is that correct? And you want/wish to know how you don’t have to use your Workaround? Am I correct in understanding you?
Grazie! ????

Lol, what I’m missing is a Video to get my head around the issues. Can you post, somewhere, a short video? Also post the Project VEG for scrutiny. That would help.

[Sean Dre] “I think if the problem is about the compatibility of a video format I should have not be able to edit without problems in the first place, no?”
You make a most logical argument. I have no answer as to why your issues get progressively worse.
Working with Vegas since 2002 and reading and experiencing the issues of CODEC “fit” by those with much wider and deeper understanding of the processes going on with regard to CODEC activity, than I, I’ve taken the pragmatic view that from capture/acquisition to import into Vegas for editing I would make as seemless and as non-traumatic as possible. When I’ve gone through the process of purchasing a new camera, either using CODECs for Tape or SD or CF I’ve pre-tested samples of the captured Media either on a Laptop standing in the camera shop, or back on my Edit deck in my Studio. My sole concern/requirement is getting the best editing experience allowing me to be creative and delivering that all important Narrative. I don’t need to understand “how” this complex CODEC works, I just require that it “does”, and in the least painful way as possible. After all, I don’t “know” just how the complexity of my cameras work, they just do.
Knowing that CODECs aren’t created equal, and that Camera manufacturers aren’t producing kit that exactly fits Vegas, they will and do make cameras that use the most Globally compliant CODECs as possible. Now, realistically, I’ve got two choices by testing prior to purchase either for the best “fit” or find the least painful way – pre/post-formatting – of getting my acquisition into my NLE or DAW. I’m just now remembering the head-banging issues I’d had with a nasty NOKIA Phone’s Video CODEC that drove me nuts! I’ve had issues with another Pen-type “FUN” Camera that needed interim reformatting to a standard AVI. Ugh….
I do hope some of my ramblings above make for help/solace for you. I do know that none of the companies owe me a living in getting to my narrative, but they will try and provide me with CODECs that are as nearest Globally compliant for me to use. Consequently, I do owe it to myself to reach for that Narrative in the best, simplest way.

OK, here’s what that shows:
Yup, looking like it’s that CODEC indentifier: mp42 (isom/m .
And here’s a discussion on it : https://video.stackexchange.com/questions/19120/how-to-open-mp4-container-video-with-mp42-codec-in-vegas-pro too!

[Jeff Ogren] “Hello – sorry to report, but I had the same issue of losing titles with NBTP 6.”
Again?! Not good.
[Jeff Ogren] “I had 30 titles saved in the project and every time I reopened Vegas, I had lost between 1-5 titles.”
Ugh… ???? bringing it all back to me. We need consistency and reliability, that’s all. I’m scared to open this truly great s/w in case I lose my creations.
