Why not just use Fireworks it is very similar and much easer

Bill I learned how to create the lower 3rd but now I need to know how to keep the Lower Third at the bottom of the screen. When I go to event pan crop and bring it to the bottom it stays there. When I render it and take to to architect and burn a CD it's not at the bottom anymore. What can i do to keep it at the bottom like yours.

Set your project properties to match the final render properties so your preview window matches the size and aspect of the rendered video.

Then turn on the safe area overlay in the preview window.

This will allow you to postition the lower third where it will be seen on the rendered video.

Can you advise on adding the png file to the track in vegas?

[guerillabill]

Place the lower third graphic on video track above the video track the lower third should overlay.
