I'm not really sure about your second paragraph, that's not something I've tried doing. Resolve works like this: You set a project parameters (resolution, framerate being the big ones), either manually or it is set by the first clip you bring in. Then you can bring in clips that don't match those values, and they are just, at render time, converted to the target resolution/frame rate. You can take clips in your timeline and make a composite clip out of it, basically rendering it within the project to a new artifact, I usually use that primarily for combining the 5m clips my camera breaks things down into into a single large clip, but I think you can also put panning on that. I haven't used Vegas Pro, that sounds pretty slick.
