  RE: Vegas Pro 21 low on memory error, when RAM usage is only 56%
  Even having the recommended amount of VRAM doesn't mean that some effect isn't taking all of it and not leaving any for VEGAS to use, which is why I asked which effects you were using. I had 16GB when Neat Video caused the same error on my system,

  RE: Suggestion: Let 2.5D Parallax in Vegas easier and more user-friendly
  @MikeS 3D Camera system consists of Camera and the "World". Vegas' 3D camera is its preview screen. It is called 3D camera because it is a camera in 3D space, not a 2D camera like PIP, Pan/Crop (they only work in 2D plane space). The motion of

  RE: How do I resize and position an image?
  Pan Crop is far better than track motion for resizing despite its limitations, because it treats the image at its native resolution. Track motion treats at project resolution. I do all my zoom/pans on stills with Pan Crop, never track motion.

  RE: video ghosting / framing problem with Sony FX3
  Indeed, recording with 1/100 sec shutter gives natural motion blur with 50fps. For a more crispy picture after stabilizing you could use 1/200 or even 1/400 sec shutter. But as always, best try avoiding shaky camera movements, which makes in post

  RE: How To Make An Image Smaller?
  Yeah, that's not a good use for Pan/Crop. You really need Track Motion but, like you said, you either have to dedicate a track to it or add keyframes to the track. Much easier to just use the PIP effect.

  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.
