Bezier masks
I’m wanting to use the bezier masks to create the effect that the text disappears as the “object” walks through it, I’m having trouble doing this though because I can’t figure out how to have the video clip show in the background of the pan/crop window.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Did you try to create your mask directly on the object layer and then copy it to the text layer via COPY followed by PASTE ATTRIBUTES?

If you could link me to a tutorial for this please that’d be a lot easier, to give the effect of the text disappearing when as though it’s going into the object, I can’t find an example of what I mean but I assume you understand what I mean?
I don’t know what the technique is called so I can’t find tutorials, so it’d be awesome if you could either tell me the name of it or link me to a good tutorial, thanks dude.

I made a good tutorial about masking in Vegas. But since it is written in Dutch, it will probably be not very helpful to you.
https://www.videomontagefaq.nl/index.php?sid=135460&lang=nl&action=artikel&cat=374226&id=426&artlang=nlBut for what I understand, you would like to mask your text in layer 1 (upper layer) on the position of a object in layer 2 (lower layer). But you find it difficult since you don’t see the object in the pan/crop window of the text.
So instead of masking the layer with the text (layer 1), I suggested you should make the mask on the layer of the object (layer 2).
When you are finished, you simply copy the mask to layer 1 with the text (COPY and PASTE ATTRIBUTES) en finally remove the mask from layer 2 with the object (RESET MASK).
Thats all…Theo
