VMS 17 Platinum - Is it possible to pan/crop multiple events at once

I record either my pinball playing, or other games using 2 Canon HFR800 video cameras using HD 60p recording at 35mbps (The camera's highest quality). I guess that doesn't really matter to my issue, but the camera seamlessly splits the files after a certain amount of time. When I bring them into Movie Studio, I frequently pan/crop the video from either one or both cameras. The problem is that I can never get the exact same image crop/pan between the split videos. I try to get them as close as possible, but I always see a small "jump" in the video when one file ends and the other begins.

Is it possible to pan/crop all of the video events in each video timeline so that they are exactly the same and the transition between files is seamless?

The splits are caused by the FAT32 file size limitation. How are you joining them? Best to use your cameras software to join them before importing into VMS or use VMS's Device Explorer (not Explorer) to import them and join them.

Save a Pan Crop setting and recall it for each event.

Doug, Thank you! That works perfectly. I wish I had figured that out years ago.

Eric, I just drag the videos into the timeline and drag into place, then create a group for the clips, so they are treated as a single clip.
