Perhaps you could create a template in the panning screen to use on subsequent clips. There may be some way to do this for an entire track using the Track Properties, but I've never tried it.

Your best bet is to render out the project to a file, then apply crop and stretch to that entire file. With the new DV codec, you'll have no problems with recompression loss-

Does anyone know a way to do this globally for the project as opposed to having to use an Event Pan/Crop for each clip?
-------------------
You could do it with track motion if you're not using it already in the project on video tracks.
Wouldn't be that much work to do at clip level if you save a preset in the pan/crop window. Total of three clicks per clip.
PS, track motion is dog slow. I take it your not rendering out to DV? None the less, try a test with the render quality set to preview (make a template for future use). For 95% of what Vegas does there is no difference between preview and good/best quality settings that I can see with DV renders. Not sure about other formats.
Hope that helps.

Thank you all for your suggestions.
In the end I rendered the project out to a file using the Huffyuv codec, then used VirtualDub to crop, resize, and output to DivX.
Couldn't use DV because I had added red captions over a snow background (DV tends to seriously blur saturated Lumina & Chroma boundaries. DivX actually looks better than DV in this situation!).
