Variable Text Color

This is no big deal but to change the text color from start to finish
try this:
1. Create the first text clip with the start color of choice with fades
to main video clip.
2. Create new video clip. Right click on the first clip and copy then paste to new
above video clip and offset to the right about a third. Make sure you create
a new pasted text not tied to the original text.
3. Right click on the pasted clip and edit the color to the next color
you desire in the chain.
4. Add as many color changes and video clips as you wish. The original fades are
copy-pasted and when played back the text changes from color to color.
5. Yeah, I know it's boring but I though it was another kool thing that Vegas does.

I knew there was a "hold keyframe style" button somewhere. After seeing GG's post I started looking again and this time I found it: Right-click on the keyframe point itself. Very good. Obvious, when I think about it afterwards.

GG:
I always wondered what that bottom short little timeline was in the text edit
section. VV does very little in the manual to explain it. I used it and it
worked just like you said it would. Perhaps your understanding now is complete
as I am fairly new at this stuff, the complexity of which is staggering at times.

Thanks,
