Unless there is a script for that, just as an idea, place the same event on a track above without all the Pan/Crop features and mute the event below event?

Thanks Old Smoke, that is just about what I ended up doing. I copied the event to another track, then opened the pan/crop dialog for the new event. Selected the first keyframe, shift-clicked the last keyframe and hit the delete key. The keyframes all went away; then I muted the original event as you suggested.

I would still be interested in hearing of a script, or an easier workflow to temporarily bypass pan/crop.

Here's an easy way if you have Vegasaur using its 1-click commands. First, pan/crop: copy. This copies your pan/crop settings. Then pan/crop: reset. This eliminates your pan/crop settings. Once you've had a look and want to restore, then pan/crop:paste and you're back to your pan/crop settings. This works for a single event. Didn't try multiple events.

Update: Does not work with multiple events selected. Only single events.

I do have Vegasaur. I just started a render a few minutes ago that is going to take about 4 hours so I will try it out when the render completes.

Thanks for the tip. I had looked in Vegasaur's main dialog window, but forgot about the list of 1-click commands.

I reread your initial post and just tried it with multiple keyframes in the pan/crop window and it seems to work OK. Good luck.
