Problem solved. I rendered a small portion of the video using a resolution of 1616 x 1080, and uploaded it to Vimeo. (For pictures, I prefer this resolution to 1920 x 1080, because the pictures were composed based on the aspect ratio used by the camera.) It’s playing properly both locally and on Vimeo. Thanks for the responses and suggestions. I never could have figured this out on my own.

Many thanks. I will play around with it tonight. I will use the standard resolution if nothing else works. Interestingly, I get the same effect playing the original mp4 file locally.

I will check it out tonight. One thing I did notice is that I have been rendering in a custom format of 1620 x 1080 (in order to maintain the 1.5 to 1 aspect ratio my camera uses), but Vimeo is indicating the size as 1632 x 1080.

Thanks. I will try this. In the meantime, I managed to accomplish what I wanted by creating two separate video tracks and applying the montage to one of them–admittedly, a less elegant way of doing it. I have been using Vegas Pro for a fair amount of time, but still have significant knowledge gaps.

Maybe I didn’t get far enough into the video tutorial, but how you you apply the montage settings to only a portion of the timeline? I want to start the pan and zoom effects at a certain point in the project.

Thanks for all the replies. Very helpful.
