Track motion/Copy Events

Question 1 - Why can't I see the Track motion keyframe position on the timeline?

Question 2 - How can I copy event attributes (eg track motion and pan/crop) to apply these atributes to other events?

In question 1, I thought the track motion position keyframes appeared under the track in V4. I can't seem to find them now, do I have a preference set wrong?

In question 2, I have set up a nice X-rotation to 90 degrees while floating and fading a still off the screen which requires 3-D track motion and event pan/cropping. I would like to apply the same effect to multiple stills.

Well, since no one else seems to care, it took me a while but I think I answered my own question and here is the result in case anyone else encounters this situation.

1. The track keyframe markers on the timeline can be toggled off/on by using the View/Show Envelopes option. The manual instructs you to select "track keyframe" from a submenu once you select View/Show Envelopes, but I was not presented with a submenu. In my case, the default turned the view off and that is why I couldn't see the little diamonds even though I expanded the track keyframe window.

2. Regarding applying the same track motion to multiple events, I guess there is no easy way to do this, maybe a script? But since I'm not into a programming language to write scripts I will use the old copy/paste technique.

Simple : put all the events tracks in a child relation to a common empty upper Parent track. Use the moving track tool in the Parent track. Every childs under will move accordingly. Hope this help,
