  2. I've used Sony Vegas Pro almost daily since 2003.

    I don't know for certain what is causing this, but I can recommend two places to look.

    First of all, effects can be applied to the track level or to the even. In this case you should be applying the fX to the event, i.e., you click on the fX icon that is on the event, not the one that is in the track header.

    The other problem that is common is to have the fX done before pan/crop when it should be after, or vice versa. I'm not at my editing computer now, and they changed how this worked, back around Vegas 11, so I can never remember where it is. In the old versions there was an almost hidden diamond on the left side of the pan/crop dialog, next to the track controls. I think the current method is to have the pan/crop icon list along with the fX chain. Its default is to be to the left of the chain, but in many cases you want to have the fX applied before the fX, rather than after, so you have to change that order.

    One other possibility is that you have to change settings in the displacement fX. I've only used it once or twice in the thousands of hours I've used Vegas, so I'm not immediately familiar with the controls, but you might want to do a quick read of the documentation or help file and see if there is some sort of option to constrain the video or normalize the result, so you don't actually move the entire frame.

    I just realized that you want the effect to only be on text. If that's the case, you apply the fX to the text event. That event should be on a track above your main video. Once again, you apply the fX to the event (in this case, that means the text event) and NOT to the track.
