I've never done it in vegas just After Effects, Mask off half the frame and feather it out, do the same with the other then place one clip obove the other on 2 seprate tracks, Grazie might know a way in vegas.

CP is spot on. Except, unless there is a vast contrast issue, between the 2 sources, you only need to Bezier one of the Events. But sure, Bezier Mask both and any "gap" between each source you could create a Track3 with some form of generated media "white back background - yes?

Bezier masking is great 'cos IF the 2 items move within their respective Masks, you could conceivably readjust each mask independently against time using the keyframer.

There is another way where you introduce a composite Pan/Cropped Generated white inter layer. Done that, been there. Moved on to Bezier Masking - far easier to control. However, 'cos Bez Masking IS very content-centric ( it is only of real value to the actual sample being used!) the composite process can be quickly used as a VEG template and all I need to do is swap out the media. That's another thought!
