Search light effect...

In Vegas 5 how can I create a search light effect:

1) similar to Hollywood premiere (verticle bands of sweeping lights)
2) similar to car headlights sweeping across an object (round pools of moving light)
3) 1 or 2 above across two video tracks. For instance I have a .jpg of an event admission ticket that I've animated in 3D [thank you Sony :-)] spinning into place in the center of the image [kind of PIP]. The second track is the crowd dancing. How can I get the search light effect to sweep across both at the same time?

Thanks.

You could create generated media, shape with the Bezier tool, blur the edges, fade the opacity, and have it sweep with either track motion or animate the bezier curve. Maybe add a Glow to it, while still keeping it reduced in opacity. Light Rays might help it too. I'm riffing, based on what you're asking. I've not sat down to build this.
