Perhaps you can tell us too, how you have created this effect. And is it a track based effect or only on the event itself? This would certainly help I think.

Hi Jill
You could save only the first 1 and half minutes of your video as either a rendered track or as a new .veg file.
You can then place either of these items in the new position in your older project, either as a piece of rendered footage or as a nested .veg.Let me know how you go.

Do you have ‘Enable snapping’ selected? If not, turn it on.

If I read this correctly, all you need to do on your event window timeline (once you have enabled animation) is to create keyframe where you want the effect to commence and set the blend amount to what you want. Then move your cursor to where on the timeline you want the effect to finish, and move the blend amount slider to where you want it (probably at the opposite end of the slider to the first keyframe). You can experiment too with rightclicking the keyframe and selecting any one of the properties listed although this won’t make much difference to this particular effect.
Too easy so I may have misread your issue! -
Hi Heikki
Presumably you have a reason to create your project as 1280×720. Along with 1920×1080, these are your two most favoured wide screen resolutions for display on a wide-screen tv or computer monitor. These are both 16:9 aspects.
As you have discovered, and I am sure you can understand, this aspect is fine for video footage and photographs shot as 16:9 but not images shot at 4:3.
Most still cameras will allow you to change their shooting properties between 4:3 and 16:9, and your choice will depend upon how you are going to ‘show’ your images; usually, but not restricted to, either prints or on a wide screen.
Now, some of your images are in portrait and not in landscape mode, that is they are vertical and not horizontal. Obviously they will not fill your wide screen unless part of the image is cropped away unfortunately. If you MUST see the whole image in portrait mode, then you will always get the black bars at the side and there is nothing you can do about it. However, if you select a portrait image on your timeline, enter pan/crop mode and then RIGHT click the image in the resulting window, you can then select ‘Match output aspect’. This will fill your 1280×720 screen but will necessarily crop pat of the image. You can move the image around on your pan/crop window to a limited degree.
If you are familiar with keyframes you could us them to move around the image, or zoom in/out of the image, whilst the image is being displayed in your movie.
Hope this helps.

Hmmm. Really not sure about this then sorry.
Let us know if you come up with the reason.

Check if there is any track motion happening(top circle in attached image). And I notice that your timeline cursor has not moved between either of your two image captures. Try turning on cursor synchronisation in a ZOOMED in pan/crop window. It might be easier to see what is happening. Sometimes those keyframes are hiding behind each other on a narrow timeline.
Otherwise it is difficult to see just what you have happening there.
-
Just a thought. No track motion involved here? And if not, I would be zoming right into the timeline in your pan/crop window, just to make sure that there ARE no keyframes hiding behind others in a shortened timeline.
And try using the keyframe forward and backward buttons too. Just to make sure they ain’t hiding!
Good luck. -
I use TVersity Media Server on my system and it seems to work a treat, without upsetting SVP.

As Mike said. Just drag with the left mouse button the left or right edges of the transition to shorten the duration of the transition.
