Titles overlaying video help cannot multiply mask in Pro 19

Hello all,

I tried doing this once in Vegas Pro but haven't done it for a year or so now, so I remembered I followed a tutorial and I found it:



However, on following this I cannot seem to be able to do this in Pro 19.0 I found where the composite section was, so I have text above a video, I right click on the track where the text is, I choose 'More' then 'Compositing Mode' then I chose 'Multiply (Mask)' and then nothing happens, nothing has change at all, so when I right click and go to Compositing Mode again, I see that Source Alpha is still selected, it hasn't changed it at all. I tried the other modes but it's locked on Source Alpha it refuses to do any other mode.
I've tried it with the Titles and Text and the Legacy Text, both attempts it will not do any other compositing mode, so by using the tutorial video above, how do I do this in practice in Vegas 19?

 

Any help is most appreciated!

James

@james37611 Hi, I just tried that, that way is a bit messed up, It didn't seem to do as i wanted but i don't use this feature in that way,

I would go to the bottom of More & open Edit Visible Buttons, choose Show All or just the Compositing mode if that's all you want.

I have Show All ticked
