event keyframes & reverse / playback rate

Is there a way to keep Video Event Pan/Crop or Video Event FX keyframes aligned with the video event after reversing or playback rate change?
So when you choose to reverse the event, the keyframes would be reversed as well and if you change the event's playback rate, the keyframes' position on timeline would reflect that change...
Honestly, I'm surprised that it's not working like that by default.

It could certainly be done by a script. Perhaps one of the commercial scripts can do this.

I've had a look at the Vegas Scripting API, but it seems that the only VideoEvent keyframes accesible for rearrangement by a script are VideoMotion keyframes. No access to mask keyframes at all and only 'get' (no 'set') access to FX keyframes.

So it certainly can't be done by a script, unless the API doc is not complete/wrong.

The main reason I've been asking my question is that I've had painfully created lots of bezier mask keyframes for a video event that needs to be played both forwards and backwards. Reversing this event left the keyframes forwards thus out of place, and rearranging them all by the hand is stupid and time consuming process, especially when you know how easily it could be automated.

Why don't you render your forward segment after setting the keyframes, and then reverse the render for those segments? John
