masking anomaly

Hi, quick question.

I am using the mask tool within Pan/Crop to block out some background in some moving footage, so I have to adjust the mask every few frames.

My problem is that my Pan/Crop window's preview doesn't show the same frame as the actual preview window or my external monitor. I have "sync to cursor" selected but the two preview frames are quite a bit a part, which is making it very difficult to set accurate mask anchors.

Is there something that I may have overlooked here?

Regards,

TeeJay

I'd be surprised if you aren't having to insert a keyframe for EVERY frame of motion video. Even if it's a fairly static image, it still take a pretty careful hand to accomplish this.
Vegas is accurate to the frame. I'm not certain why you'd be not seeing this if you have sync to cursor inserted.
