it is built into the Pan/crop window, under position timeline, there is a unchecked mask timeline, select that one and on the left side of the window you will see the tools.

and I know it's supposed to be there because it talks about it in the help thing

The help file is for all versions of Vegas: Full and Movie Studio versions (regular and Platinum). It's a giant tease, I tell you.

Krisqo linked a previous thread about this for masking with the Movie Studio versions (4 through 6, I don't know if they added the method of masking that the stickied guide talks about in version 7 of Movie Studio). Here it is again: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/v ... hp?t=74537 . Since you have the Platinum version, I believe you have some SpiceMaster plugins available to you.

Do the masking in PS...frame by frame works better. Animating Masks accurately takes skills.

You don't *have* to spend that much. This deal appears to still be on.
