 | Using gunfire effects in sony vegas movie studio HD 11

Hi, i have just purchased action essentials to create gunflash effects in sony vegas, i can create & position the effect ok with track motion but then when i try to do another effect on the same track i can only have the effect in exactly the same place even if i position the second effect in another position it goes back to the original place on the preview, is it not possible to do this on one track or am i doing something wrong? how do you add several gunshot fx in many different angles. i have a video of a gunfight. everytime i try to move one gunshot, all of them are moved.?? Help !!
Many thanks in advance !!

You need to add keyframes to your track motion, so that you can have different track motion parameters (eg position and zoom) for different sections of the track along the timeline.
Get your first effect positioned correctly with track motion, then add a keyframe immediately after it (don't change any settings for this keyframe - it just keeps the position static during the effect.
Then add a new keyframe just before the next effect, make sure that keyframe is selected, and adjust position to suit. Add another keyframe after that effect. Do this for each effect if you have lots of them.
You may find that it helps to have "Sync Cursor" emabled, but be careful that you don't mistakenly add lots of keyframes. Ensure you select an existing keyframe before adjusting track motion parameters to avoid creating new keyframes unnecessarily.
If you only have a couple of effects like this in your project, just use separate tracks (and therefore separate track motion) for them if you can spare the tracks.
