Thanks!

I can relate, trying to change the volume for a specific event (clip). I do not have Vegas in front of me, but go to the top menu (maybe edit) and find audio envelope. Then select your audio event and right click to “add a point”. Add a few points and move them around to adjust your audio in the specific event (not the entire project). The key is to add an audio envelope to your audio event, otherwise you can not right click to add a point (adjust volume).

I will try the sony mask. Thank you.

However, I have tried applying the multiply mask to the smoke effect and putting the base clip as the child. When I do this the base clip (underlying clip shows black until it gets to the point underneath the smoke clip and then both clips show for the duration of the mask only. In other words when I apply the mask and click on the base clip to play in the timeline, it is all black except during the mask portion. Am I doing something wrong? Will it render correctly? I would expect the base clip to play all the way through and the mask to blend in for its duration, not black out the entire base clip.??
