I'm a relative newbie to Vegas Platinum, trying to convert and uninstall my other editing programs. One thing that is simply driving me crazy: We have a rectangular overlay/title text box that I need to size and position so that it is present throughout the movie. For example, a small box that says "Copyright MDC". In other programs, I simply drag that box graphic down to overlay, then I can go into something like "Edit Effect" and simply size the box to the correct size for the video, then in a very straghtforward way drag it to where I want it placed on the video.

In Vegas it appears that I have to do this in an indirect way and basically go to pan/crop, then move the video frame rather than the object. Sometimes for some reason when I try to do that the frame will clip the object, other times it just does things I cannot understand. Why can't I just drag the object itself to where I want it???

Is there a good tutorial somewhere on how to do this? The in-program help doesn't help.

This is the only thing that I don't like - hate - about Studio and the only thing keeping me from converting completely.

Thanks
