Add a BCC Title studio to empty event of top track.
Then how to make BCC Title studio's build-in preview window show tracks ( beneath top track ) of VEGAS as background? So as to adjust title position.
In Avid event FX, BCC Title studio's build-in preview window can show all other tracks of Avid as background ：. But It seems Vegas can't do that ：

A statement of BCC's Senior Product Manager: https://forum.borisfx.com/t/vegas-17-and-bcc-title-studio-composite-over-background/8437/5
So what I’m hearing from you is that you would like to have the same level of functionality with regard to bringing in alternate host video tracks in Title Studio in Vegas as we do in Avid. In Avid we can pull up video tracks from beneath the title studio filter track in the host timeline to use as a template against which we can position the titles that we’re generating. In Vegas because we can’t pull up a video clip from tracks below the filter this is a problem for you. If the Vegas OFX API will allow us to do that then I see no reason why we would not implement this feature. I’ll add it to the feature wish list and discuss it with engineering - thanks for highlighting this deficiency.
Meanwhile, there are a couple of things that you can do as a workaround.
Apply the filter directly to the background source in the timeline, then once you have the title set up, save the project, delete the filter, apply a fresh instance of title studio to the empty event and load up the saved preset. Then you can use the host-side filter transforms to fine tune the position of the title over the video. This was already been mentioned in the comments above from Jezric.
Or …
Create a second instance of the background video on a new event track above itself. Then apply the title studio filter to that event (instead of an empty event) and you’ll (a) be able to see the video while working with the title in the Title Studio UI and (b) it will be a discrete title on its own event track and independent of the background video, just like you needed.
Thanks,
Peter.
Why Vegas api doesn't allow event fx plugins access other tracks, so that BCC Title studio's preview window can show all other tracks as background?
Does this api restrict make many high-end plugins not compatible with Vegas Pro? Just like BCC Title Studio can't show all other tracks as background. Just like Mocha Pro in event fx can't attach other track's image to it.
