ok, i have a JPEG image sequence with these dimensions: 720x480 (0.909 aspect ratio). I load into Vegas no problems, drag it onto the timeline, and the timeline thumbnails look correct. Except the preview window crops it top and bottom. No matter what i do with the project properties/settings or the video event crop/pan tool i can never see the whole image. it's as if the original image was imported cropped. After some investigation, it seems that Vegas set the frame size of the media (this if i go into the project media tab) at 720x405. There seems to be no way around this. It wouldn't really be a problem only the BITC is just outside the cropped area.
