Expanded Edit Mode in VEGAS Pro - Keypad Number 5
Replied by MSZ-Derek on topic Expanded Edit Mode in VEGAS Pro - Keypad Number 5
Posted 25 Oct 2025 16:28 #17373 Hi VLASY
This is actual called Expanded Edit Mode.
In older versions of VEGAS Pro (like VP13), it was easy to activate this edit mode by accident and would often cause confusion.
Pressing 5 on your Keyboard Keypad is one way to activate this mode.
Expanded Edit Mode is meant to give you greater control to shift the edge of an event, one pixel at a time.
When this mode is turned on, Keypad 1, 3 and 4, 6 trim event edge.
Read pages 165 - 167 in the VEGAS Pro 13 instructional manual, for a complete description of how it works.
If you don't have a copy of the manual, you can download it from here:

My screen shot from VEGAS Pro 22, shows what the desktop should look like for most people.
Regards
Derek
