I'm using Vegas Pro v12.

Track one is the background and has a mask that allows track 3 to show through as desired.

I need my title track 2 to display text on top of the background in a different area than the first mask.

I've attached a veg file as an example.

Thank you.

Not sure what you're trying to accomplish, but it reminded me of efx in which you use generated text as a mask.

See this tutorial at about 26:30 -
Webinar: Expanding creative possibilities in Vegas Pro: masking and compositing techniques (http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/compositingwebinar)

???

This same technique can be used with any video on track 3... doesn't have to be the gaussian blurred copy of track 2 that is used in this tutorial.

If all you want is for the text to show, just put it on top of the other two.

Here is what David is saying from your example. (See pic below)

OMG, I can't believe I missed that! I swear I tried every combination and thought that was the first I tried. LOL

Well glad this was an easy one to figure out.

Thanks everyone!

Is it possible to create 2 seperate masks on the same event. Taking the above sample as example, what I mean is, can you make 2 seperate boxes (masks) in the red clip to show the blue clip through? Hope I explained myself enough!!

Here's an article on how to pass multiple colors from an event via multiple masks. You may be able to use this technique from Vol 2 #10 of my newsletters. www.jetdv.com :: View topic - Vol #2, Issue #10 (December 2004) (http://www.jetdv.com/vegas/forum/viewtopic.php?t=298)

You do it with a bezier mask in Pan/Crop. You can cut as many holes as you like.

Nice thing about 12 is it has rectangle and circular masks on board now.

Today I used the new Pro 12 rectangle in the mask area of the pan/crop dialog. I also needed to rotate the rectangle, which worked just fine, but I couldn't find any numeric indicator of this rotation. Was I just missing it somehow?

I just tried the same thing and I don't see the actual angle listed anywhere either.

The lack of an angle display and precise adjustment has been reported to Sony. It's been confirmed and added to the wish-list as a future addition.

Thanks Edward! I think that will be a worthwhile addition.
