John,
thanks for jumping in. I did what you suggested and changed the size of the graphic which is now 100×100 px. After I drop that into my timeline (which indeed is 1920×1080) I can’t put in these dimensions for some reason. Any number higher than 800 is reset to 800. It looks like it has to do with the size of the graphic, since I *can* put 1920×1080 for the original graphic which is 800×800 px. I disabled the aspect ratio which defaults to square, but that doesn’t do the trick.
>> If you are making a lower third that is a composite of several tracks, I would create it in a separate project and then drop that .veg file into your main projects timeline any time you need it. This is called a “Nested Project” in Vegas Pro.<<
Yep, that was the idea and this works too well almost. Because the text in the lower third gets rendered into the file as well. Of course I can disable that track in the source, but then I have to animate a new text track over again every time I drop the project file into the timeline. But even if I need to do that, using just the logo track is still a major improvement.
Thanks again,
