Panning and cropping are essential features in photo editing software. While the older versions of VEGAS Pro (12 and 13) allowed users to pan and crop in 3D, the feature seems to be hidden in VEGAS Pro 14. Users can access the 3D panning and cropping feature in VEGAS Pro 14 by clicking on Compositing mode and changing from Source Alpha to 3D Source Alpha. Users can also use the Event Pan/Crop tool to adjust the position of an image on the screen, and the Track Motion tool to move an image off-screen.

What You'll Learn
Using the Track Motion tool
The Track Motion tool in Vegas Pro 14 is used to move a video track over another track. It can also be used to create animation by adding keyframes to change track motion settings through the duration of the track.
To use the Track Motion tool, go to Tools > Video > Track Motion in the menu or click the Track Motion button on a track header. This will open the Track Motion window.
In the Track Motion window, you can adjust the selection area to change the viewable area of the track and its position. You can use the Position, Orientation, and Rotation controls on the left side of the window, or simply drag the selection box in the workspace.
If you want to create animation, you can add keyframes to change the track motion settings over time. The keyframe controller at the bottom of the Track Motion window allows you to establish distinct track motion settings throughout the duration of the track.
You can also adjust the smoothness of the motion by expanding the Keyframe Interpolation heading on the left side of the window and dragging the Smoothness slider.
Additionally, if you want to pan and crop in 3D, you can change the Compositing mode from "Source Alpha" to "3D Source Alpha" before clicking the "Track Motion" button.

Changing default settings
If you want to change the default settings in Vegas Pro 14, you can try resetting the software to its original settings. This can be helpful if the program is behaving strangely, or if you want to reconfigure it from scratch.
To reset Vegas Pro to its default settings, first, back up your C: drive if you want to preserve your personalised settings. Then, press Ctrl+Shift on your keyboard while double-clicking the program's shortcut icon. Continue holding Ctrl+Shift until a window pops up, asking if you want to reset all preferences to default values. Check the box next to "Delete all cached application data" and click "Yes".
You can also change the default track properties by right-clicking on a track header and choosing "Set Default Track Properties" from the menu. Select the check box for each item you want to set as the default when creating a new track.
If you want to reset the Pan/Crop tool to its default settings, right-click inside the Pan/Crop window and select "Restore".
Additionally, if you want to pan and zoom in 3D, you can change the settings in the "Compositing mode" menu. First, click on "Track Motion" on the left side of the interface. Then, change the setting from "Source Alpha" to "3D Source Alpha". Finally, click on "Track Motion" again to enable 3D panning and zooming.

Panning a photo off-screen
First, open the Track Motion tool. You can do this by right-clicking inside the Pan/Crop window and selecting "Default Restore". This will allow you to adjust the image without any restrictions.
Next, adjust the image size and position. Use the controls in the Position heading on the left side of the Track Motion window to resize and move the image. You can also enter specific values into the Width, Height, X-position, and Y-position fields to precisely position the image. Make sure the image is small enough to fit off-screen.
Now, you can start panning the photo off-screen. Use the keyframe controller at the bottom of the Track Motion window to create keyframes that will determine the path of the image. Set keyframes at the beginning and end of the panning motion, and adjust the settings accordingly to define the start and end points of the pan.
Additionally, you can use the "Match Aspect" feature to ensure the image moves fully off-screen without any restrictions. This feature matches the output aspect ratio, preventing black bars from appearing and allowing unrestricted movement.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully pan a photo off-screen in Vegas Pro 14 using the Track Motion tool. Experiment with the different settings and controls to achieve the desired panning effect.

Using the Event Pan/Crop window
You can then drag the top corner towards the centre to scale the picture down, or enter a value in the Width field to make the image as small as you like. You can also position your image by entering values into the X and Y position fields. Moving the image to the right or left is done by entering a positive or negative value in the X field, respectively. Moving the image up or down is done by entering a positive or negative value in the Y field.
If you are unable to access the Event Pan/Crop window, it may be because it has appeared off-screen. To resolve this, click on the pan/crop icon and hold down the Alt key while pressing Space. The window menu should now appear, and you can use the arrow keys to move it back onto the screen.
It is worth noting that the Event Pan/Crop tool has some limitations. For example, you may encounter issues when trying to position an image near the edge of a video clip, as it may get cut off. In such cases, it is recommended to use the Track Motion tool instead.
