Need Help With Multiple Video Tracks and Text Overlays Vegas Pro 14

I am Using Vegas Pro 14 to edit together a let's play where my friend and I both recorded our gameplay. I need to do a multi-cam edit where the text overlay and audio changes depending on whose video I choose to cut too. Here is an example of the grouping

1. My Text Overlay - My Video - My Audio

2. His Text Overlay - His Video - His Audio

So if I cut to My Video it also switches to My Text overlay and My Audio and If I cut to His Video it also switches to His Text Overlay and His Audio

Is there a way to cut a video like this with multi camera editing mode?

I can think of a simple way to handle the text overlays: In a blank project, drop your clip on a timeline, with a track of text above it, and render that as your main clip. Lather, rinse and repeat with your friend's video. Now you have the text embedded within each clip for the multi-cam editing However, I don't think there's an easy or automated way to switch between audio tracks.

I wonder if nesting would work.

Thank you so much nesting absolutely worked for the video and overlay part. It still doesn't switch the audio but that was a secondary concern for me as it isn't too hard to just cut his game audio when I'm not showing his screen. This turns nearly 10 hours of unnecessary render time down to a few minutes. 😁
