In Vegas, you need to correct the levels of your graphics. 255 white probably doesn't make any difference for self-hosted video, but any other colors between 235 and 255 would be affected if you don't take some action. Typical action would be adding an fX / Levels / Computer to Studio RGB to the graphics track or event.
The same is true for any transparency that shows all the way through the bottom track. You need to add a black generated Solid Color and level to 016 if the delivery video format requires it. Most do.
The same is true for your end graphic.
Looks like your audio is a shade hot, too.
@john_dennis Wow, thanks for this! It is only a draft, please keep that in mind. I need to learn more about correcting colors in graphics and what '255 white' means. Titling, other programs (easily) allow for a background shadow for the text to pop out. It is not readily apparent how to do this in Vegas Pro. absolutely something needs to be done to make the text really show more. And yes, I think -3db (at least) should be the threshold of audio, though closer to -10 db is proper, I believe. I appreciate the insights. That's what pro's are for, to guide the rest of us!
@michael-harrison It is all related. You can see the titles for yourself. Plus, someone might point out other ways to do titling (in lower third) to make it look better. It helps when you see a draft of the end result to better inform a response. Not to detract what you are saying, I get it.

What's wrong with the Shadow controls?
@john_dennis I want the one that is like a little frame around the whole text, not the individual letters. Which one is that?
You can do this in ProType Titler (you will need to enable it in Deprecated options)
Like this...
As @fifonik suggested, I use ProType Titler most of the time, but not this time. This was done with Titles and Text with a negative mask on you video track to a color beneath.
You can do this with ProType Titler.
Greetings all, I exported this at YUV 25 fps and then used handbrake to optimise for web. Here is the video with titles. https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/Vll9VnjD-8mI7l7fQ.mp4
It is a draft, but you more experienced can critique and guide and let me know the best way to enhance using Vegas Pro. I am new to Vegas Pro and am not aware of all the tools to probably really make this work shine.
This was shot @60fps and the client is the artist. I shot it last year and then a couple of weeks ago he called me said he wants it edited for his portfolio.
Did you change framerate, because your video has awful ghosting, probably caused by resampling?
@3POINT Thank you. The frame rate is 59.94 and export options are limited as I try which ones I can use. Which export option would you go with?

It's important that your project setting and the used rendertemplate are using the same framerate as your media. In your case 59.94 fps.
@3POINT I went for one of the Windows Media lossless options. There was not anything for 59.94 fps, that I could see. I wanted to output something a bit better quality. I will try the Magix one.
@john_dennis Thanks for that one, looks like some more granular controls. I would like the output to be a rough equivalent of the input which is as follows: https://pastebin.com/izK5Ap2m
Eventually, I want to get one of those Atomos Ninjas or whatever to output to a better codec like ProRes, for example.
@Former user
I'll give you some likely unwanted grandfatherly advice.
Defer the purchase of any new hardware until you learn more to exploit the tools you already have.
@john_dennis I want to be among the Hawkeye Pierce's of video but am still a Radar O'Riley. Now where's my knee-high grape beverage...

The easiest way to find out the formats and render templates that fits your media and project is to filter as following:
