When I pan/crop the video for an event, I often don't notice that the timeline cursor position is not at the start of the event. As a result, when I make the desired pan/crop settings Vegas (Pro 11) adds a keyframe at the cursor point. So when I play the timeline, the event isn't panned/cropped at the beginning. Instead it gradually changes to the panned/cropped size as playback approaches the keyframe. This would be good and is the expected behavior of keyframes IF I actually wanted a change in the pan/crop to occur part way through the event. But I usually don't -- I usually want the pan/crop to apply to the entire event.

Is there a way to tell Vegas not to create a keyframe when making pan/crop settings, regardless of where the cursor is in that event, and just apply the pan/crop to the entire event?

Or do I just have to remember to make sure the timeline cursor is at frame 1 of the event when I do a pan/crop? (Sounds easy, but somehow I often forget.)
