AFAIK, there is no "shift" equivalent effect in Vegas. That said, you could accomplish this fairly quickly by:

1. Duplicate the track with the video clip(s) on it
2. Use Track Motion on one track (lock the vertical) to shift the track horizontally so your desired center-point is center
3. Use Track Motion on the other track to shift it the opposite direction and "fill in the black/blank area".

If you want to be able to manipulate those two tracks as a single entity in addition, you can nest those two tracks under a parent track and move/treat them as one.

Note: You could accomplish the same thing as above using EVENT Pan/Crop and two tracks

Thanks RedRob, that works nicely!

My second issue is a bit more granular---I'm using ActionDirector to stitch together a Samsung Gear 360's movie. The Gear's HEVC movie is saved out as an MP4, which plays nicely in Premiere and VLC. But the audio in the stitched MP4 won't play in Vegas (when the movie is imported, the audio track doesn't even show up, only the video). Here's the MediaInfo on the original and the stitched:

ActionDirector gives no settings. Fortunately I can get the audio from the original HEVC movie, but I'm wondering what makes the audio fail in Vegas??

Alas, I don't know.

I'm curious though.. you have two files in that MediaInfo snapshot, and both have different video formats.

TEST360.MP4 -- Video: HEVC
TEST360_Stitch_YHC.MP4 -- Video: AVC

Maybe one is the original file off the camera, and the "stitch" version is exported from t heir tool?

Does either open in Vegas OK, with Audio?

Not that it's ideal, but if you're in a pinch you can try running them through FFMPEG to produce another format that Vegas might handle nicer.

The HEVC file (original off the Gear 360 camera) opens in Vegas 14 with audio. The stitched file (exported from ActionDirector, Samsung's editing tool) opens in Vegas 14 but without audio. So the video is OK in the stitched file, but the audio won't play.

The only difference that I can see is:

ORIGINAL: English, 48.0 kHz, 2 channels, AAC (LC)

STITCHED: English, 128 kb/s, 48.0 kHz, 2 channels, AAC (LC)

Guess the devil is in the details. Until I can find a better solution I'm forced to use the audio from the original HEVC movie.

Yup.. That's what I'd do.. use the audio from the original and the video from the 2nd... OR use FFMPEG to fix it. Seriously worth a try...

You can use the option to "COPY" the video channel from the 2nd file (not re-encode = NO quality loss) and replace the target audio channel with either the one copied from the original, or just have it reencode the audio in the target. Either way, with "COPY" it'll be super fast and likely would fix the problem.

ffmpeg -i TEST360_Stitch_YHC.MP4 -i TEST360.MP4 -map 0:v -map 1:a -vcodec copy -acodec aac -strict experimental -b:a 128k -threads 0 TEST_StitchedNewAudio.mp4

The above command would copy the video from the Stitched file (no transcoding, a copy), and reencode the audio from the source file TEST360, mashing them together to create the output file TEST_StitchedNewAudio.mp4

Thanks, that worked! And very fast, as you noted.
