Vegas multicamera shortcoming discovery

Anyone else notice this and is there a work-around.

Set up lets say four cameras tracks for a multicam switch. Say a couple of the cameras are a bit off color. CC the off color tracks at clip level. Create your master switch track and voila! CC has left the room. You cannot use a CC plugin on clips and then combine them into a switch-cut master track. I knew about losing envelopes, track effects and motion but didn’t know about individual clip ‘Event FX’ not holding.

Ok I thought. Once the switch is finished, if the job isn't too big, find the first off color camera cut and CC it. This worked ok. Logic then made me think I that I could copy this clip and 'paste event attributes' to subsequent cuts belonging to the off color camera. No sir! Cannot paste event attributes on to subsequent cuts in a multicam master track. Why I wonder. What a shame. V8.0's multicam is quite elegant in some ways but does disply shortcomings in others, such as this fairly major one.

So I guess you have to CC all tacks that need it and then render them up before you can use them in a multicam job I don't seem to recall having to do this in Excalibur which I had in v7.0 but recently uninstalled. Looks like it's back to v7.0 and Ed's mighty multicam tool for jobs requiring CC.

If anyone has a work-around for v8.0 that overcomes this problem please let me know!
