View Full Version : How can I prevent stretching an image?

I have included a small, 577x502 image in a Vegas project, and Vegas (Pro 14) stretches it to fit the full height. It looks terrible because it is a 4k video. I don’t want it stretched, I want it to keep its 577x502 dimensions without being ridiculously zoomed out.

So, I tried going to Event Pan/Crop and selected No for Stretch to fill frame. It thinks it knows better than me and keeps stretching it. If I try to resize it with the handles, it crops it instead. This is very frustrating. How can I reason with it and make it not stretch this image (while stretching/shrinking other images)?

In the Pan & Crop window, set your Position Height and Width to your project resolution (1920, 1080).
Set Stretch to Fill to Yes,
Check the Zoom value, it's probably over 100%, set to about 40 (for a 1920 x 1080 project).

See if that helps.

In the crop window de-select the lock aspect ratio icon. Set source "maintain aspect ratio" to no and scale to any size you want.

That was it! Thank you so much (to Jurgen as well).
