Need Help Moving still images in Sony Vegas!

[ExponentialAwesome]

So I'm trying to move some png image files across the screen. In vegas. I just want it go from one side to off the screen on the other side. This sounds pretty simple but I keep running into some weird warping issue that I can't find an answer for.

This is the original position of the image. It is just a green shape with a transparent background. The whole image is 1920x1080. As you can see I'm using the pan/crop tool to make it move across the screen.

This is it moved a little bit. As you can see, no issue. It has moved no problem.

BUT when I move it THIS far it warps. See how it looks compressed? I don't know why it won't let me move it smoothly across and off the screen.

If anyone has any ideas or questions please let me know. This isn't the first time I've had an issue like this, but it is really bugging me because I was hoping to use a bunch of moving shapes to make an animated intro.

Thanks in advance for the help!

I am not familiar with vegas, but make sure that you are keyframing the image across the screen instead of applying a transition. This could be the reason it is warping if you applied a transition.

Try right clicking the image - click "switches" and then uncheck "maintain aspect ratio"

You're using the crop/pan for motion tracking, which isn't how you do it, that's for changing the focus mainly. Click on "Motion Tracking", it's a square on the video track and then add keyframes and change the position slightly with each keyframe.

Thank You! I knew there was a better way of doing that! Awesome, that should make a lot of things much easier.
