Software not rendering what I see in the preview.

To start I am not using any heavy load filters, the only thing I use is Video Event FX pan/crop to zoom in on parts of my clips + it's timeline to move the zooms. Absolutely nothing else is used. Rendering Video in 1080x1920. Final video looks like absolute hot mess with cuts and slides moving wherever THE F they want, clipping and speeds messed up. To add - I render with the exact same settings that I use for 2k videos (that render with no issues) except for the "mobile format" video resolution. Can someone explain to me what in the living hell is happening?

@Choody Based on your description, I think you are rendering the mobile format (9:16) in the landscape project (16:9). It's a pity that you should never do this.

When you complete a project, some of the edits you make are based on the current resolution. When you modify it, differences may occur. Having the same aspect ratio might be fine, but when you directly render 16:9 as 9:16, a huge change occurs.

At least, you should change the parameters in Project Properties window to the values in the render template in advance so that you can identify some issues before rendering. After that, we can discuss exactly what caused them.

The key point is, when you want to render 16:9 as 9:16, what exactly do you want it to show? In VP22, there's also an AI feature called Auto Reframe. Here are some discussions about it: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/auto-reframe-vegas-pro-22--147052/

What version of VEGAS is this?

Screenshots of the project and render we would make troubleshooting easier.

You may have inadvertently added additional Keyframes to Pan/Crop which can do all kinds of movements and such. I have done this many times.
