Audition - Copy & Paste Keyframes

Is there a way to copy & paste keyframes in Audition?

I have a revised music track but the rest of the audio is the same. I'd like to copy the volume keyframes from the old music track to the revised track, as the dips will all remain the same for the revised track, rather than doing all the work all over again.

'Seems like this should be a simple copy/paste attributes but I can't find any option to do that.

Am I missing something somewhere?

I'm using Audition CC Build 11.1.0.184

On a mid-2014 MacBook Pro running High Sierra 10.13.3

Note:  I'm cross posting this to Adobe Feature Requests as I believe this should be a feature.

Thanks!

    The easy way to do this is to rename the existing file as something different, and and give the old name to your new file. As long as it's in the same location, reopening the session should use the new file, and leave all your keyframe data intact.

    The easiest way (in the version 24.6) would be to copy the source track (possible from another project, too), paste it to the new track (which will put the old track along with the keyframes), then right-click this new track, choose the "Link Media..." from the popup menu and choose the new audio file - this will replace the old audio track with the new audio track though still keep the old keyframes.

    I have the Windows version of Audition and it is insane that we can't do this. It's also insane that we can't use certain effects on a clip in the multitrack session (such as invert/reverse) without it affecting the whole clip. It's ridiculous.. In Vegas Platinum 10 you could do these things. Copying and pasting keyframes for panning or audio, copying and pasting markers, using an invert or reverse effect on a clip in the session without having to create a whole file.. that was much less painless. A shame I can't use that software anymore because it just bugs out, so I reluctantly switched to adobe.

        Good workaround!

        Thanks Steve!

        That said, Adobe peeps, I still think this is a miss if you can't find a way to code a copy/paste attributes into Audition.

          JK! Figured it out. Just open multiple sessions in the files panel to copy and paste clips between them.
