pan/crop hold not working correctly in V5?

i have a vegas 4 slideshow project that i'm almost finished with. i have a few pan/crop events that i use hold so it jumps at each keyframe. i opened the project in vegas 5 and saved it. the event is an image. in V4, then event jumped at the hold keyframes. in V5, the image moves between keyframes.

i created a new project in V5 and added a single image event. i added several different hold keyframes and they all have movement. in V4, this doesn't happen.

anyone else try hold keyframes in V5?

anyone try this? anyone care? i made a simple project that shows the hold keyframes not working as they did in vegas 4, at least not for me.

Strange. I just tried this in V4 & V5 and it worked fine in both. Here;s what I did:
Placed picture on timeline.
Opened up pan/crop
adjusted the pic how I wanted it in the first keyframe.
Moved to where I wanted my second keyframe.
Moved the image how I wanted it in the second keyframe (and the key was automaticly made)
Right clicked on both keyframes & selected "hold."

They "held" when I played them back.

here's what i believe i did. i'm not at home so i can't view my project.

keyframe 1: hold
keyframe 2: zoom and hold
keyframe 3: zoom more and linear
keyframe 4: end keyframe

it should zoom to a different size and hold at keyframe 2. at keyframe 3, it should zoom again and start panning. keyframe 4 is the end of the event.

You're right. It doesn't "Hold" on zooms. Wierd. It's probley a bug. :)

Here's a workaround. You need 2 keyframes per zoom point instead of 1.

Setup your first keyframe where you want it. Move to the next keyframe point. Move 1 frame back. Setup that as a keyframe (w/o editing the pan/crop settings). Move 1 frame forward. Modify your keyframe settings. Now it hsould jump.

OK, I knew I wasn’t crazy. At first I thought I was doing something wrong but now I have a reproducible test case. This is definitely a bug (or change of behavior). The first keyframe will not hold. In Vegas 4 you can hold the first keyframe and add another that’s a hold and you will see one still and then a jump the second. In Vegas 5 the first keyframe will zoom to the second no matter what you do. This is definitely not the Vegas 4 behavior.

There are also some strange behaviors as you add more keyframes that do not do what you would expect like holding on the wrong keyframe. Something just isn’t right here.

I have the same problem. Hold does not work on pan/crop zooms. I almost started a new thread about it, but I searched first and am glad to know I'm not alone. SONY PLEASE TAKE NOTE. Thanks.

We have taken note- this will be fixed in the next update.
