Yes, use either pan/crop or track motion (the latter would probably be easiest).

And yes, I’d say use only two keyframes, and make sure motion type is “Smooth”.

If it’s still not slow enough, you can use a tool like Fusion to do the same thing, but it’ll also give you control handles to exaggerate the slow in/slow out from its default setting.

If it’s going to YouTube, file size doesn’t matter!

Boy, Zach, you sound exactly like me! SVP since 2011, and now with VP20.

It’s “stable enough” for the most part, but I’m curious about VP23 as well.

Derek, you da MAN. Thank you, I got it working.

The only thing left now is I can NOT get the output of Vegas to show in “Video Preview on External Monitor”. I’ve got HDMI out to my smaller work monitor and a second HDMI out to the output monitor, but nothing happens when I select it in Vegas. I’ve tried every option in “Preview Device”, but no go.

Do you have any ideas?

[Kelly Griffin]

Thank you for this info. And, I made a semi-happy discovery by accident… it turns out that the audio glitch only occurred when I played the clip through Vegas, but it was fine with a media player through the Windows file system.

Weirdness.

[Kelly Griffin]

Thank you anyway.

[Kelly Griffin]

That’s what I thought you meant, but I’ve been doing that since forever.

Just to be clear, all audio ends about five frames before the end of the spot, and no matter what I do I get the glitch at the end.

[Kelly Griffin]

What do you mean by separating the image/audio? They’re separate tracks.

And, you are apparently right on both counts.

Thanks anyway.

[Kelly Griffin]

You are a CHAMP! I really appreciate your help. I don’t know squat about stuff like this.

I’ll check my RAM situation and let you know.

Would you mind giving me your email address as a backup contact to you? Mine’s kelly@kgcreative.biz

Thanks again,
