How to I place a picture on a different part of the video? (Vegas 14)

I have absolutely NO idea on how to word that question, so it probably sounds completely different that what I am about to ask. I am editing a video and I'd like to place a photo there and move it to another part of the screen (Resize it, etc.). I know how to do that already, but is there a way to have it where I can have two different photos at different times on the same video track but at different locations in the video? I'd like to add a lot of photos at different areas on my video, but I don't want to create 10-15 new video tracks for EVERY photo. Any help?

All you have to do is to just drag the image from the Explorer to where you want it on the Video track. Do this a many times as you wish wherever you want. 😃 Then you can use Event Pan & Crop, instead of Track Pan & Crop, to resize and place the picture where you want in the frame.

Pan/crop is event only, track MOTION is on the track level only. They both do different things. P/c is for panning around and cropping videos, track motion is for moving the track later around in the project view.They

Okay, let me give a small follow-up to this post. WHat if on one part of my video, I'd like a photo on one corner of the video and maybe about 5-6 seconds later I'd like a different photo on a different part of the video, maybe the center? Would EACH photo need a new video track or could I make each photo move on different parts of the screen on the same track? I'd just prefer to not make my track look so... Cluttered.

Use a new track, easiest way to do it if you're still new.

If you want you can minimize the tracks and even group them together & minimize the group down to one track.
