Keyframes are dissapearing, or shifting over

I'm using Sony Vegas Pro 15 with the Sapphire plugin; I'm trying to do a zoom-out transition using Z-Dist in S_BlurMoCurves. Everything goes fine at first, I make the transition, and when I'm done I Pre-render the clips, watch them through, then save it. However, for some reason when I open up the project that I had saved the transitions are all buggy, and when I look at the Key frames they are shifted over, or they are just completely gone! It's really frustrating that I have to redo all the transitions every time I open up this project. Does anyone know why this is happening, or how I could fix it?

Usually a mismatch of film frame rate and timeline frame rate, one adjusting to the other...What are your frame rates, project wise and clip wise.

The frame rate for the project is 60fps, while the clips are 25fps; If the problem is that their two different frame rates, then how would I go about changing the frame rates of my clips to 60fps?

Change the project to 25fps.

The only logical explanation is that you previously saved a preset of this transition at a frame rate other than the current project's frame rate. And by applying the preset, the keyframes were positioned according to the frame rate of the old project.

But this is a Vegas problem, as it saves the position of keyframes based on the project frame rate and not on Timecode as it should be.

Example:
In a 1 second event at 60p there are 60 frames. If one keyframe is placed at frame 30 and another at frame 60 and the preset is saved; if that preset is placed in a 1 second event of a 25p project, the keyframes will not even appear as there would still be 5 frames left for the first keyframe could appear because it was targeted in frame 30 of project 60p. For all keyframes to appear the event would have to be 60 square. This in a 25p project is equal to 00:00:02:10 seconds.

Try it out.

1.Before applying the transition preset, set the frame rate in the project so that it is at the same frame rate as the preset was saved. Example: If the transition preset was saved in a 30p project, set the project to 30p.

2.Apply the transition preset

3. Go to again to project properties and set the project to the Frame rate you want, in case 60p.

He isn't applying a preset. He just opening a project.
