text and compositing mode

Hey guys. I'm new to the forum and have been using Vegas for a year or so now. I run in this issue in a lot of scenarios but this is a specific example. I have and image on one layer. I generate text on another. I would motion track the text across the screen and apply a color burn in the compositing mode. The burn affect the entire bounding area not just the text. Is there some way to have it ignore the box area? It basically produces a burn rectangle instead of just the text. I tried searching for it and looking through Vegas but no luck. I hope you understand what I'm describing. I have this problem whenever I use swf or text and want to apply a blend like overlay and try to track the motion.
