Parent track motion - square size

john-y wrote on 4/27/2018, 10:02 AM

I'm using Vegas 14.

My project size is 1920x1080. When I try to use Parent track motion, the size of the frame in the motion window changes to 1080x1080. Is there a way to change this to maintain 1920x1080? I'm trying to position elements by calculating their position and entering the numbers, but I can't do this if Vegas has the parent track motion at 1080x1080, while the child tracks are still 1920x1080.

I don't know why it works this way but that's the way it is: While Track Motion uses project frame size, Parent Motion always uses a square frame size based on the height of the project frame size. I'm not aware of any way to change this.

But for positioning X/Y you need to use the project frame size, so this should not be an issue.
