I have about 400 jpg pictures in a project without fades and each one set for 16 x 9 aspect and properties set to same. When I single step with the arrow keys between some of them I will get one frame with 50% of both showing. Should I worry about this? It happens with Quantize to frames either on or off. It does seem to blink a bit on these affected pictures when playing normally.

Did you edit with Quantize on? If you did not have quantize on the damage is done. You can use some of the programs out there to adjust to frame boundaries. If they are not on frame boundaries you run the risk of having black frames in your rendered video. Zoom into your timeline so you see frames and you can tell if they are on the frame boundaries or not.
If you don't have a script like Vegausaur, I suggest starting from scratch, with QTF and Snapping both turned on.
These 2 internal preferences (my favorites of them all) will help you see which event edges are not quantized. The unquantized edges get highlighted in bold red.
Then, with Quantize To Frames ON, you could drag any thick red edges so they are quantized. You will still need to beware of any single-frame gaps or overlaps!
"Timeline tools" is a free app that will help or if you have "Vegasaur", it has some tools as well.
Just a tip: Your images may handle better on the timeline if you first batch-convert your JPGs to PNG in Irfanview.
Just an aside to Musicvids last comment, not taking away the validity of it but I have always used JPEGs without incident with dozens up to hundreds of images. YMMV
Yes, the need to do that seems to be system- and version-dependent. 64 bit versions of Vegas may not need it at all.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I did find that if one of the pictures has the fade triangle a touch off but still looks ok it will not get rid of the frame even with the yellow snap. Moving the triangle to max off then corrects the problem even though it was off to begin with and never was adjusted for a fade. There were a few of these instances.
