Hi everyone,
I am trying to make a slide show and want to pan and zoom different areas of photos, but I just can't seem to find where vegas displays original pic resolution size (so I don't zoom in too much) Am I msing something?

Right-mouse-button click on the picture in the timeline, click Properties, choose the Media tab. The size is listed under Attributes:

- or -

Click on the picture in Media Pool. The size is listed underneath the Media Pool window.

- or -

Click on the filename in the Explorer window. The size is listed underneath the Explorer window.

May i ask how you capture your pictures into Vegas for your slide show? I tried the scanner but it freezes up the computer so I always have to capture with video cam. first. Thanks

I scan pictures into PhotoShop and then just drag the files into Vegas.

A good way to make sure you're not zooming in too far is to watch the "Size" property in the pan/crop dialog -- for NTSC, when height drops below 480 you're stretching pixels instead of shrinking them, and when it hits 240 you're doubling them; you really shouldn't go that far or things get blurry.
