To delete a continuous sequence of keyframes, click on the first keyframe and then Shift-click on the last keyframe in the sequence - then hit DEL.

Or click+drag across them with the mouse then hit Delete.

Or use a script that will reset the clip by deleting all keyframes and resetting the pan/crop.

Seems a bit like highlighting all the keyframes in pan/crop and then deleting them - without the need for a script.

@Dexcon Except you can just select the event on the timeline and then click a single button to do it all instead of having to open the Pan/crop screen, select everything, delete everything, and then make sure you reset the Pan/Crop. Just a matter of streamlining the editing process by removing many steps along the way. Is the process the same, yes. Are there as many steps, no. And that's what scripting is for - to streamline the process.

If you're doing it once, it probably won't make much difference. If you need to do it to 100 events on the timeline - select all 100 events and push one button will be much faster than opening Pan/Crop 100 times and then deleting all keyframes 100 times.

Very true, and I've never had that need - it's only ever been one event at a time for me. My mind boggles at a circumstance that would need something like up to 100 events or more to be cleared of all pan/crop keyframes at the same time. In my experience, pan/crop settings are mostly specially set for that particular video event, not a global setting applying to every video event. I'd really appreciate to know where resetting pan/crop keyframing on 100 video events has a practical application. Even if that is so, then surely the editor then has to go though all those 100 events again to re-set the keyframes if they were wrong in the first place.

And my mind boggles at someone not seeing how EXTREMELY USEFUL such a button script is! :)

I use Vegasaur's pan/crop reset button frequently. But then, of course, I am also applying pan/crop keyframes using various automatic tools. Why bother to waste huge amounts of time painstakingly "hand crafting" your keyframes when you can just get it done and get on to the real creative part!

Just my opinion, of course. :)

@Peter_P So, to answer your question: VEGASAUR.

Thanks, this definitely belongs directly into Vegas pro.
