Couple of things:
1. I could have sworn that there was an 'Expand Keyframe' layer on the track view that could be opened to added keyframes to a track directly, but I have not seen it in Vegas 5. How do you open this layer and does it only work on certain tracks (i.e., not on generated media).
2. Sometimes, while I am editing keyframes for an effect, the preview window moves with my cursor in the keyframe window. Other times, it does not, and I cannot seem to pin down what controls this behavior. Sync to cursor doesn't seem to do it (in fact, it is usually grayed out when the window doesn't update). This makes it very difficult to keyframe a sequence for me (last night I found myself calculating times by hand, because I couldn't keyframe it visually - very frustrating).
3. This is more of a general practice question: Say I have a text event 10 seconds long that begins at 1 minute. I want to keyframe a change that coincides with a scene change at 1:05. Now, in this example, it is easy to surmise that the keyframe should be at 5 seconds in the text event, but most situations are not this simple and require more time to determine where the keyframe should be - espcially if there are multiple events that require keyframes I don't know if I am being clear, and maybe this isn't as much of a problem when the keyframe timeline advances the preview window, but I lost a lot of time doing subtraction last night, so I figured I would ask what other's workflow did to deal with these situation.
