    I'm wondering how to scale video down in Vegas, not file size, but actual video... I'm going for a picture-in-picture effect.

    I can scale inward which basically zooms in on a video using the Event Pan/Crop tool, but when I actually try to shrink down a video within the frame, without cropping any edges of the video off, it doesn't seem to work. Suggestions?

    Thanks.

    Add the master video to timeline one
    Add the insert video to timeline two
    Drag timeline two up so it is now timeline one
    Use Track Motion on timeline one to scale and position it as an PiP insert to the master video

    QED

    Maybe an easier way?

    Place inserted video on top timeline (timeline 1).
    Plase master video on 2nd timeline below the inserted video.
    Manipulate track motion on top timeline to shrink and move the video around.
    (Saved one step.!)

    Matters of great concern should be taken lightly.
