This I know but I had multiple text events being moved by track motion.

When the client wanted extra text added the obvious approach was to copy the whole track and edit the text on the new track and then simply realign the track and it's text with the other track. Dead simple I thought until I realised that we have no way of copying a track.

Not such a big drama this time, I just did it the manual way. Just seems like such an obvious thing to have I'd never noticed it wasn't there until I needed it.

it is a multi step process but you can copy/paste the track then open track motion on the original track select all the keyframes, copy, then go to duplicate track open track motion and paste keyframes.

Farss, I agree that a real copy should be produced and a reference copy as an option.

There appear to be 2 options colliding: A] Duplicating Tracks (this gets you the TH Diamonds), and B] Copy Reference-back to original

If we Copy a Text Event we get the option of a Reference back to the original. If we opt for that, then when we change the "copy", BOTH Events get updated. However, and here's a logic issue IF I opt for a "Copy" then any changes I make within the Copy AREN'T shared between the two. Reference:YES - Copy: NO . So we can either elect FOR a reference or NOT. I see this here as a potential future option.

"Duplicate a track . .", and we should be offered a similar Menu.

And yes, it IS annoying. Think I raised this sometime back, and then recently too?

A CONFIRMATON Menu I see as being the way forward.

Another way is to COPY to a NEW track below the lowest track

1] Create a NEW Lowest Track

2] Select All > Copy > Click on Lowest Track > Paste .. and elect to make a "Copy" and not a reference.

This ways you get Copies without the original getting updated.

I'd prefer to have a Duplicate Track/s option with a further option to make NON-Original-referenced Events being pasted, as per the Single GenMed Text Event.

It's this business of what exactly is being needed to be Copied: Track Level: Events within the Track: Track Motion Diamonds. Somehow Vegas would need to be able to differentiate at what level and what items at what level are wishing to be copied AND/OR referenced back to the original

This is still needing to be refined. That's a good word? Refined.

I'd prefer to have a Duplicate Track/s option with a further option to make NON-Original-referenced Events being pasted, as per the Single GenMed Text Event.

That's exactly what we need, in fact making a copy by reference I'd suspect would be the least used option, I'd hazard a guess that the term 'by reference' would confound the majority of users. Must admit I've never used that option when copying an event.

Bob.

Agreed. And my "nice" point I'm making is that we HAVE this option for GenMed Events, I kinda think it should be there for Track level stuff too?

"Refined", our new word. Here's another one "improved upon" - ok 2 words.

Grazie

Well we've got that option for ANY event, not just gen media, I use that a lot. One thing to be very aware of though is V7 seems to have a change, copying an event copies everything in the Group. If copying down to a new track it may not be immediatley obvious that you've now placed a second copy of the video over the top of the original. There is an option to disable this behaviour but it sure caught me out a few times.
