Vegas Pro 13 - Pan/Crop problem

jamota wrote on 8/1/2016, 3:27 AM
Hello, I recently upgraded from Moviestudio 12 to Vegas Pro 13 and have a strange problem working with Vegas 13.
First: I use 2 monitors on a windows 10 system with an Intel Core i7 2600K CPU at 3.4Ghz and 16 GB DDR3 Ram. The motherboard is Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 (Socket 1155) and Video card NVidia Geforce 9600 GT – 512 MB.
Now when working on a video clip with the Pan/Crop event, the Pan/Crop window turns red as soon as I accidently or on purpose click on the screen of the second monitor. Clicking back anywhere in the first monitor brings back the normal Pan/Crop window.
The problem is annoying as in some cases I use the second monitor to display a help file or tutorial video, but as soon as I click on it, the Pan/Crop window turns red, preventing to work on it. The problem only exist with video clips (mpg, avi etc.) but not with still images.
Can anybody help
Thanks in advance.

I have experienced the very same problem. Since I only have the video preview window on the 2nd monitor, I rarely do anything on that monitor when the pan/crop window is open on the first monitor. I do have a Gigabyte motherboard as well, the UD5H with an Intel 3770K processor. I have the onboard video (Intel) drive the first monitor and an Nvidia 650 driving the 2nd monitor. Are you doing the same or are you driving both monitors with the sample display adapter? You might try different combinations of display adapters and see if that makes a difference. Since I rarely see this problem, I don't worry about it. Would be nice to understand the root of the problem, however. In any case, good luck, and if you find an answer, please post back.

Hello, Thanks for your info.
i'm using the latest NVidia driver for driving both monitors.
Have tried already several different settings but without result.
Hope somebody comes up with a solution.
Regards

The only thing I can think of is PAN / CROP losing focus causing it to deactivate. Try unchecking "Close media files when not the active application" option in Preferences / General.

Although... The second monitor [I]is[/I] displaying a Vegas application, so it shouldn't behave this way...
