How do I crop an entire video?

I've provided a snip of a video which is about 12 mins long. All the action takes place within the box I've edged in red. I'd like to crop the video so it will zoom in on that area - the two people and the activity for the duration

I've watched You Tube tutorials and they seem to explain something I don't want. One problem is, I can't find the pan/crop button, and all the videos assume I know it.

 

I'd be so gratedul if someone can explain in a way that doesn't require a huge amount of background knowledge of Vegas. And looking at the heading I might be in the wrong forum - I have Vegas Pro 22.

I've an Acer with a Windows operating system.

I've been a Joiner/Carpenter for 40yrs, apprentice trained time served, I don't have an apprentice of my own so to share my knowledge I put videos on YouTube.

@Deergeel - In the Help tab top of editor type/find (Cropping a Video Event using the Pan/Crop Tool).

This should help you find and apply the effect.
