Text Animations Reset When Program Closes!

I'm making a Who Wants to be a Millionaire series on my YouTube channel and the contestant is using the Phone a Friend lifeline. For the clock, I make some text with an "animation" (First keyframe says 30 then the keyframe one second later says 29 and so on and so forth) that counts down from 30. The problem is that when I restart the program, all that animation is erased and all that's there is 30. Is there any way I can set Sony Vegas to not reset my animations when I close it?

I'm using Vegas Movie Studio HD 11.0
