The ‘clarity’ you think you’re losing is likely only on your computer monitor, and in fact will cause all kinds of trouble on a regular TV (dot crawl, etc.).
Scan to absolute 655X480 (or as close as you can get it). Then resize to 720X480 before giving them to Vegas and you won’t lose your overscan areas.

Right. And the audio compressor you want is called Wave Hammer. It’s a TrackFX.
Select the ‘maximize volume’ preset and change it to -1 or -.1, then save it. You may still need to use ‘normalize’ in some rare instances, but being only an _event_ setting, it’s of limited usefulness.

I agree that Track Motion is what you want when you need to move something completely off screen. Pan/zoom is really just for moving around inside a frame.
But even easier than that would be to just use a transition; there are dozens that are _designed_ to move objects off screen.
>ps – I have used other video editing tools (i.e. Media Studio) and I find the Vegas’ Pan/Zoom function complicated.
I came from MSP also and you’re only partially correct. The Pan/zoom is _different_, but much easier to use once you get the basic settings correct.
