Ability to copy/paste keyframes between tracks

It would be nice to copy/paste keyframe placement between tracks. In this case, I changed the levels in certain areas of a music track that wasn't finished. Instead of going back and reinserting said keyframes at the same values in the finished file, it would be nice to select all keyframes in the unfinished file and paste them in the new file. I've tried doing this and all it does is copy/paste the actual file instead of its keyframes.

Title: Add Copy & Paste for Automation Envelope Keyframes in Multitrack

It’s frustrating that almost every other Adobe app (like Premiere Pro and After Effects), as well as virtually every other major DAW, allows you to copy and paste keyframes, but Adobe Audition still lacks this basic functionality.

When mixing a full session and fine-tuning automation for a chorus or hook (volume rides, panning, effect parameters), having to manually recreate every single keyframe point from scratch for the second and third choruses is a massive waste of time and an unnecessary headache.

We urgently need the ability to select, copy, and paste keyframe points across clip/track envelopes in the Multitrack Editor. This simple feature would fix a huge workflow bottleneck for anyone doing serious audio mixing in Audition.

Audition needs a complete overhaul of the way Keyframes work. Including this, and being able to move keyframes along with clips. It renders using Keyframes useless if a client comes back with further content edits, and you've got to spend time working out the keyframes you have to move as a result.

But people have been asking for these features for ages and Adobe never listens. Annoying having to shout into the void.

Agreed. Surely the one thing we all expect from a company that has a "Creative Suite" is for there to be common functions across programs.

I thought I must be an idiot as I couldn't find a way to copy and paste the keyframes (I think they're enveolpes in audio??) - but no... the essential function is missing.

But don't worry, you can now get on the waitlist for the beta to create an AI fuzzy bear thing. Thanks Adobe.

Is this seriously not doable? That's insane. The ability to copy and paste keyframes was something I got used to doing when I did my sound engineering degree nearly fifteen years ago.

Jesus, Adobe. Get it together. Your software is genuinely pathetic.

A frustrating but possible workaround:

duplicate the clip with the keyframes you want to a new track.
convert to a unique clip so you don't alter the original.
replace (re-link to the other audio clip/file) then use this instead of the one that didn't have the keyframes.

frustrating work-around but it definitely works for cases where the files are similar in length. sadly if you wanted to say shift all the keys, selecting them all at once and shifting them together snaps them to a straight line, instead of keeping them relative to each other.

(I really hope this gets fixed, or someone can tell me how to do this in a more simple way!)

and yes @7384715, I agree... ESSENTIAL!
