Okay, I've had a chance to play around...syncing camera and lights from LW to VP works fine, but I've found that you should match the framerate and number of frames first, otherwise strange things can happen. Once the object's motion type is set to 'Synchronized' in VP, which it becomes when synchronizing, it locks the object so you can't mess with it. I also discovered that you can export any object animation as .mot files, which LW imports nicely.
