Experimenting some more with this, Vegas starts crashing if I add more
than about 3 large panoramas, so that'll mean doing each one, then
burning them out and reimporting the reduced version, which limits
editing possibilities and makes a mess of things.

Also there seems to be a limit to how large the panorama can be. It
failed with a 25,836 x 2,642 image... I cut that in half and it worked
but no way to get a continuous pan across the two. I'd need to crop into
two pieces with overlap and pause in the overlap zone.

Another thing I discovered is only some formats can be re-imported to
Vegas... the variety of formats is mind boggling but trial and error
taught me one that works:
Main Concept MPEG-2
HDV 1080 50i
-manually type the file extension as .m2t - if saved as mpg, that's tiny
and the comparable blu-ray options won't import if saved as .m2v but I
didn't attempt changing the extension.

If anyone has better advice for HD formats, I'm all ears <g>.

Thanks Paul for letting us know of some of the limitations of Vegas.
As for the panorama I was thinking that you could have two or more
photos (when joined they form a Panaroma) and use the sliding
transition built into Vegas. This is the transition that slides one
photo out while it slides in the new replacement photo. You could have
one of the photo parts on a video clip and the other photo part on
another video clip then it would be like the panorama photo is being
scanned. You'd need to slow down the transition.
What do you think?
