Sony Vegas and Media Studio Yep, I know they're not related, but they both fall in the Premiere Alternative bracket in my humble opinion! Post here for Ulead Media Studio or Vegas video problems or pointers...

A bit vague, Bobo.
Could you please describe exactly the steps you are taking, what you expect to see and what you do see. Also a pointer to the instructions you are following would be very useful.

Much clearer! I suspect you have Vegas Movie Studio 8.0 not Vegas Pro 8.0 (previous "pro" versions were just called Vegas). VMS doesn't have masking in pan/crop , I'm afraid.
