I'd try to zoom via track motion.

Or... if you have valid reason to stick with pan/crop:

-Place your clips on timeline, do your cuts.

-Create a generated event with the same size as your clips, and the same length as your 5 clips.

-Add your desired zoom via pan/crop to the generated event

-Split the generated events exactly on the times, where your cuts are. So you will have 5 generated events, all the same length as the according clip.

-Copy event1, then select your first clip, and selectivley paste attributes, choose pan/crop settings.

-Repeat this for the remaining clips.

This works only if your desire zoom is LINEAR.

Another way is to render the 5 events to one event, and then use pan/crop to zoom in across that new combined event.

I mean a simple and quick solution. I have a lot of projects where I have 100-400 clips, I do not want to do 100-200 redndering and I do not want to sit a few days. I thought that VEGAS is a professional program and you can do something like that.

@Salah ... your original question related to a single instance of what you wanted to do - you did not state that you had hundreds of instances of what you wanted to do (but now you reveal that). In future, how about fully explaining your situation and requirements if you want targeted suggestions/advice - surely that would be a professional thing to do.

So then what about track motion? Does it worth to try, or stick with blaming Vegas?

@klt : Vegas Pro has a Professional Feature called Nested Timelines. Professionals use this to do exactly what you’re after.

Thanks @Grazie!

Yet another possible solution for @Salah

@klt - Yes indeed. ☺️

The Vegasaur “Join, un-Split” can do this also, i.e. “heal” Its documentation is a little ambiguous, to me anyway.

Join Events (Unsplit)

This command rejoins the selected adjacent events that have been previously split to multiple pieces. For the function to work, all selected events should (Ideally) be consecutive segments of the same media file (but not necessarily, you can also merge different media files, which can be very useful in multicamera mode). Several segments that are placed on different tracks and which refer to different media files can be selected and then unsplit in a single operation.“

Just tried two different clips, not from the same media, joined them, applied a crop at the end to give a zoom and then split at the origional join position, zoom remains intact as requested.

I modified Vegasaur documentation extract above by adding in the word ideally, to me it then makes sense.

Either way a very powerful feature, dare I say it truly professional as is VP.

 

Update: A small gotcha if you’re not watching ... after joining all of the clips, before doing the zoom, an autogenerated keyframe for each clip is located at the split positions, remove all of them first, (select the first then❓shift select the last, then “Del”) otherwise you will find that only the last clip is zoomed.

❓I found this intermittent, simplest is to mouse left click, select and drag ( on “position” line ) all keyframes to delete, a white rectangular box gets generated, then “Del”

guys, thanks for your help, I'll check what you're writing about.

Track motion solves this problem if all the events in the zoom are on one video track .. but from what the OP posted there are two video tracks. If you have multiple video tracks going (compositing), then I believe Parent Motion would be needed.

Render to new track. Set keyframe as needed.
