Event Cropping: suddenly my cropped video is ZOOMING

lora-s wrote on 6/27/2017, 6:26 PM

I am going crazy. I have used Vegas Movie Studio 11 for years.....I always CROP an entire event to zoom in on one particular object in the video. Suddenly, when I crop an event, the crop does not hold for the entire event. Rather, earlier in the timeline, it is zoomed out, and ever so slowly zooms in to the end of the event. MADNESS! Can anyone offer a solution? I'm sure it's simple. (I have been using Windows 10 on my new computer WITHOUT this problem.....so it's not my operating system.

Try set "Stretch to fill frame:" to No

Check in the Pan/Crop box for unintended keyframes. You need just one at the beginning. I often accidentally get this when I forget that Pan/Crop automatically animates and creates a keyframe at the timeline point you are working on. Turn off the lock icon bottom left in Pan/Crop so your Pan/Crop time strip is not linked to your main timeline.

OMG, EricLNZ, that did it! The "lock" icon was highlighted, so every time I would click on my timeline, it was creating keyframes. This is the best thing I've learned all year! THANK YOU!

Thanks for the reply, Set. The "stretch to fill frame" option did not clear up my problem. But thank you! I got it fixed.

It is likely that Eric is spot on, but if it isn't that, also check your Track Motion in the track header for keyframes (similar root cause and behaviour)
