snapping in the pan/crop ruler?

I have made some keyframes that changes the pan/crop adjustmenst in a clip and I want to move them so they happen in sync with the music I have.. so I have changed the ruler to Beats & Measures and set the right tempo but now I don't seem to be able to snap the keyframes to the beats I want in the Pan/crop window... how do I do this? Snapping only applies to the main timeline???

Well, maybe it's because the beats and the frames (since it's keyframes we talk about) is very unlikely to have the same exact location to snap too huh... beat 2.1.0 might not be on a specific frame change.. am I right?

Try track motion, using the k/f that appear there. You could then align the k/fs with "markers", placed on the beat - yeah? I've just done it. The other thing to consider is that Quantize to frames forces any edit to the edge of a frame, NOT necessarily to a beat of music - yeah? - Hey, it took me a few shots at your other post, maybe I'm on the money here!

Make sure Sync cursor is selected (The padlocked I icon below the keyframe timeline in Pan/Crop).
Back on the Vegas timeline, put your cursor at a sync point, open Pan/Crop again and you will see a little red line indicating that sync spot on the Pan/Crop timeline. Click-drag your keyframe diamond and drop it there.

Yup, plus the Padlock - But then you need to see the k/fs "appearing" on the beat. If you place markers then you can re-align the Track Motion k/fs diamonds on the t/l WITH the markers, which are your beat markers. Unless this happens automatically with the Beats & Measures. If this is the case I too have learnt something else!
