i need to reorient some footage that was captured upsidedown and in reverse (don't ask). how can i do this? i tried rotating it, but vegas animated the rotation.
i simply need to reverse the footage, and flip it vert/horiz.
You might try opening pan/crop on the clip and right-clicking on the image area... a popup with flip-horizontal and flip-vertical should appear. Then you can reverse with velocity envelope.
you must have had 2 keyframes if Vegas animated your rotation. you only want one keyframe at the very beginning in your situation. don't enable 'sync to cursor' in the pan/crop dialog. read the manual/help section on keyframes for more on that.
