Proper Way to Apply Ken Burns Effect

Hello. I like to learn the proper step to apply Ken Burns effect on a photo.
I opened Event Pan/Crop and I scroll down the scroll button of the mouse, in order to zoom out of the photo and get the entire diagram.

The photo should remain in position and I would direct the pan to go on a certain direction.
But it isn't that simple for me, for some odd reason.

I open the event pan dialog. I select a keyframe towards the end of the position so the video starts in the center of the picture and slowly pan to the spot.
1) I click on the center circle and drag it to my top left corner.
2) I close the event dialog and go play the video clip.
3) The video pans down right, up left, and down right. Weird
I check back in the event dialog and notice that the pan is positioned elsewhere when I choose different positions. I never altered the pan location.

I been stuck at this assignment for the past 40 minutes. This is pitiful.
Rather than reading the jibberish I just typed, could someone show me the proper procedure on how to apply a simple Ken Burns effect?


sigh~

has a tutorial explaining how to do this, even though it's from a very old version of Vegas, it's the same procedure. I need to update that, I guess.
You can send me a veg and a single still, and I'll build it for you, you can deconstruct if you don't understand the tutorial.

Hint...don't drag the circle. You're re-centering the image, not creating movement of the image.

Thank you for the tutorial link. I am getting the hang of it but it isn't perfect yet.
