If one assigns keyframes for, let's say, track motion and then one moves an event, can the keyframes be set to move with the event - or are they fixed just to their position on the track?

Yes, the keyframes can move with the event.

The thing that I always have trouble remembering is that the timeline in the track motion pop-up is the whole timeline. I use the sync to cursor feature and keyframes when using track motion to avoid affecting every event on the timeline.

I hope that Vegas 5 does a better job with Track Motion and Pan/Crop.

We already know that V5 has 3D motion. The 3D motion, the regular 2D motion/resizing, and the pan/crop motion/zoom should all be combined into one tool, and be usable at the event, track or media clip level.

I don't know the history that led to track-level motion or event level pan/crop, but it doesn't make much sense.

I should be able to take the whole frame, select a sub-area, and move, zoom and rotate it in 3D, all from the same window.

I can do this with Plugin-Pac 3D, but I would rather see it built in.

I edit tv programs and I think the current tools work pretty well...

I used to think the track motion was useless until I started finding needs for it, such as always having a logo on a certain part o the screen (and anything you put on that track will go down there). If I don't have a use for the track motion I just use pan/crop. Most of the time it does what I need it to do. :)
