Transferring a mask to a different video

Hi,

I want to prepare a video intro for use in future projects. I already have an animated logo with transparent background and I want to blur the area around it and zoom in on the un-blurred, inner area to transition to the main video.
I already masked the borders of the logo and applied a blur effect to the outer area on a test track and keyframed it to expand with the logo.

My problem: Because the main video should already be running from the start on a layer below the logo, I need to transfer the blur effect + expanding mask onto it.

Please let me know if I can elaborate on my plans.

Thanks in advance,
Daniel

Trying to imagine what you are doing... but seems like you might also just want to render out your logo with blur and zoom animation, keeping the transparency (so need to use a video format with alpha channel) and then place this on top of the main video.

Also, you can open 2 instances of Vegas and copy events from one instance to the other.
