Large image being compressed by VEGA Pro 14.0

Hi, I've been running into an odd problem that I'm not sure how to fix. I'm trying to animate a timeline of events by panning up and down a large vertical image I've created that is 1928px wide and 11546px tall. It's saved as a PNG and when viewed in any photo viewer the content is uncompressed and looks how I want it to.

The problem is when I insert it into the VEGAS timeline it makes the image far too compressed to be readable, even on the best preview settings. Rendering a quick sample at the highest resolution produces the same blurry result as the video preview. I have some photos below to help illustrate the problem. The first is the entire image, the 2nd what the video preview/rendered video looks like, and the 3rd is what the end result should ideally look like. Project settings are set to HD 1080-60i (1920x1080, 29.970 fps). VEGAS version 14.0 build 189. Windows 10 Home version 1809. Any help is appreciated.

First of all you should update your Vegas Pro 14 to the latest build 270.

Then for zooming into the photos in your particular case you need to use Pan/Crop to preserve the source resolution. I'd assume you tried to use Track Motion or a Video FX instead which both will use the project resolution only.

Yep, I was using track motion. This fixed the problem. Thanks a lot!
