Vegas allows you as many tracks as you want, so the only limit is how much work you want to spend keeping track of your tracks.

Motion requires number of keyframes > 1.

When you set the position with Track Motion, and it adds the keyframe, right-click the previous keyframe on the timeline and choose "Hold," assuming you don't want the track to move before it gets to the frame with the repositioned clip.

Something you might wanna try as a workaround - I'm not sure if only the full version does this, but you might be able to import Vegas projects into other Vegas projects, kinda like how you can import an .avs script into another .avs script. I think that was implemented in Vegas 6. You just have to drag the .veg onto the timeline, and it'll show up like a normal video clip.

So if you're only working with a few tracks for composite effects, or whatever, that might be the solution. I'd say give it a shot by just putting 2 video tracks on top of each other and lowering the opacity of the top one so the bottom one shows through. Then save that, and import the .veg file into your main project.

The main problem, I would think, is timing it to the music if you need more tracks than you have available, but if it works, it's something you can use.

that really depends on specifically what you want to do

i dont think that there are any "general" guides specifically for vegas, but its always worth looking throught the stickie
