Force Pan/Crop to Crop to Frame Boundary?

I'm doing a lot of cropping on my current project & in some cases I'd like to pan right to the edge of the original (5K) frame, to the pixel. Is there a way for me to force Vegas to stop at the frame boundary when I'm in the event pan/crop dialogue so that I don't accidentally pan beyond the edge of the frame? "Enable Snapping" doesn't snap to frame boundaries.

I don't know of a way to stop it when it hits the "edge" of the image. I usually use the arrow keys to move it and wait until black appears then go back once the other direction.

You could make presets. Zoom in and create a frame that is super exactly on the frame limit, in which case snapping sometimes helps. Then call it "left" or "right" or whatever, you get the idea, and save it. It's what I did with a few split screen presets, or when I jump to different frames in a 4k ITV, it saves a lot of time.
