All VMS and VPro17 has an option for creating Slideshow where you after making the right settings can do allwith 1 mouse click.

Thanks j-v. I am using VPro15 and see these options which i have used:

Is this what you meant or something new in VPro17? I just went to the website to find more info on the Slideshow feature in VPro17 but didn't see any description of what it does or how it works.

Thanks,

Roger

The slideshow creation tool has been a part of Vegas Movie Studio for a while, but it was recently added to Vegas Pro 17.

No, it is only in VPro 17, while it was already in all VMS PL versions.
Look how it works, sometimes I have to change nothing, sometimes I change some settings that suites better the goal I wish to accomplish:

Thanks j-v that was extremely helpful!!!

Were keyframes created automatically so that if I wanted to tweak them I would click the pan/crop to make manual adjustments?

No keyframes, only Pan/Crop settings with a (you can choose different) transition. Sometimes I only change beginning and end of the Pan/Crop setting.

Don't forget that you can save presets for your favorite Pan/Crop settings.

That would make sense when animations could be saved as presets ( a series of keyframes), just saving one keyframe setting makes no sense, at least not to me.

Vegasaur Toolkit may have what you are looking for https://vegasaur.com/Vegasaur

yes, that is what i usually do, copy an image with series of keyframes so i can apply the animation to other images

Don't forget that you can save presets for your favorite Pan/Crop settings.

Thanks john_dennis i will try this.

You all have been extremely helpful. Thanks guys!

"Don't forget that you can save presets for your favorite Pan/Crop settings."

Yes Pan/Crop presets, I edit an on-going lecture series where I need to insert quite a few PPT slides (still photos) throughout the lecture. I save a preset in Pan/Crop which duplicates the size and placement. Same can be done in PIP. I edit an on-going lecture series where I need to insert PPT slides (still photos) I save a preset in Pan/Crop which duplicates the size and placement The stills are static, so I do need to 'save' the keyframes.. which are not saved wth a preset anyway

OR, AS a PROJECT TEMPLATE:

One could save the two, three, five (or whatever) favorite stylized events, once created -- inclusive of pan/crop and keyframe movements -- copy, paste, shuffle those, to create a long enough timeline to realize an average number of events in a slide show, say 50 events.

Now: "Save as," let's say "slideshow template.veg" file. Now, open that project file whenever you'd want a new slideshow, and drop in new pics by right click and dragging them over the particular events, Vegas then gives you the option of "add as take." It will use new picture. Do that for your fifty or so slides and you're done.
