  RE: Track Motion - Crete/Copy Keyframes
  @Jorge-Vegas, Ok, when dealing with Track Motion keyframes, please make sure you are dealing with a VIDEO track (not just a "track"). Then you can add a new keyframe like this: VideoTrack vTrack = (VideoTrack)myTrack; TrackMotionKeyframe newKF =

  RE: What frame-size is handed to NEAT Video-- project or actual media res?

  RE: [Solved] Any chance to make this ?
  You could manually duplicate tracks and use a motion blur or gaussian blur on the background one- search for online tutorials for this. Newer versions of Vegas also have "Black Bar Fill" Fx that makes this very easy. Overview .

  Vegas Pro 20 Track, can't choose the right thing

  RE: How do I resize and position an image?
  If your goal is to have an image not zooming but resized, then I would concede that the Track Motion works around the size limitation of Pan/Crop so might be the better choice. But if you are actually ZOOMING (moving) and if you can work around the

  RE: Some final questions
  1. Pan/Crop is the correct way to do it. Pan/Crop will work with the full resolution of the image. Track Motion works with the video frame so zooming in you'll lose resolution. So do your zooming and panning with Pan/Crop. 2. No, it doesn't matter.
