Re: Sony Vegas effects on separate track?

Another way to get to where you want to be is to save your current project, say as "FileA.veg". This veg file has all the cuts you want, possibly multiple tracks used. Now open a new project, and INSERT the FileA.veg to your timeline (i.e. don't just open the FileA.veg file in Vegas, acutally add it just like a clip to a new vegas project). When you do this, the file will be comprised of two tracks (1 video, 1 audio). So now your track that you say has multiple cuts in it every few seconds is one continuous track with no cuts. Add the "sphere" effect you want and as Mike Kujbida says in his post, you can keyframe the effect you want onto this one continuous clip.

Note that you can also copy and paste your keyframes. If you have the effect "on" in keyframe 1 and then "off" in keyframe 2, you can click the first keyframe, shift-click the second keyframe (selecting both), press CTRL-C (copy), then move your cursor to the next time you want your effect to turn "on" (say 4 seconds later) and press the CTRL-V (paste), which will paste BOTH keyframes (the first one at your cursor, the second one will be the same distance from the 1st keyframe as when you made the "copy"). Hopefully this helps.
