Copying Individual Masking Pathways

Hi all

I am currently editing with Sony Vegas Pro 13.0. As part of a transition, I created a pathway around a specific object, and then adjusted this pathway in each successive frame so that it remained cleanly around that object. I have subsequently decided that I'd like to create an additional mask pathway in that same clip. I will need to adjust this second pathway in each frame, so that it stays around the object. However, I'd like to keep the other (original) pathway for the other object. If I copy the keyframe with the second object's mask pathway, it obviously replaces the first mask pathway in the next frame. Is there any way to copy a single mask pathway from one frame to the next, without losing previously placed pathways?

Thanks

You are talking about the Pan/Crop Mask paths?

You can add as many mask as you want to a single event but all masks exist in the same keyframes. If you add new mask points in a later keyframe they're not automatically added to other keyframes.

To add a new mask path use the "Anchor Creation Tool" on the left side of the pan/crop window.
