You are correct. I was wrong.

Unless I missed something, Pat did not cover the how. I can select events in a track, and copy and paste those. I have not yet discovered how to copy the entire track which would include any filters applied at the track level. How do you do that?

[Joao Souza] “Can I copy and paste a track(with all effects and track motion) or just the media in it?

I dont want to import just the media in a track, I want the whole track.”

Old project:

Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C

New Project:

Ctrl-V

This should copy tracks, events, event FX, sound levels. Clean up and remove what you don’t want.

If you have markers you will need to use a separate 3rd party tool such as that from Vasst to export from your old project and import to the new – VASST Marker Maker and VASST Marker Editor available separately as FasstApps for only $9.95 USD each. This way editors can buy a solution for just the problem they are having without purchasing all of Ultimate S Pro. I am not sure about copying track motion.

Hopefully Guru John Rofrano sees this post and offers his sage advice with respect to copying track motion between projects 🙂

My system specs: Intel i7 970, 12GB RAM, ASUS P6T, Vegas Pro 11 (x32/x64), Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, Vegas Production Assistant 1.0, VASST Ultimate S Pro 4.1, Neat Video Pro 2.6

Thanks man.
The thing I want the most is copying track motion along with its track.

You can copy the Track Motion keyframes albeit manually.

a. Open Track Motion on the source track.
b. Shrink the timeline so you can see all the keyframes. Select all (start at end, click drag back towards 0:0.0).
c. Copy.
d. Close Track Motion.
e. Open Track Motion on destination track.
f. Select first keyframe.
g. Paste.

Yeah man but I asked about importing a track with all its features.
If I want to import 10 tracks, copying and pasting all their track motions is not handy.
I think if you import a track, everything should come with it including its track motion.
If I have to copy track motion manually, it’s not importing a track but copying a track and its features.

Vegas does not allow to import tracks. You can copy events, copy track effects (by using preset chains).
Track Motion keyframes – only by hand, track by track…

FYI, Vegasaur allows you to copy/paste tack motion keyframes from multiple tracks (w/o opening Track Motion window, directly from timeline)
