Video in Video effect

Hi everyone - yet another newbie question. Can anyone tell me how I can achieve a "video-in-video" effect with Vegas? I.e., I want to have a video rolling, with a smaller one third sized video rolling within the same video frame. I am also looking at possibly using a still image for the main screen (i.e. like a backdrop template) with a video playing at about one third size of the screen. The effect is similar to what many DVD players/satellite receivers offer these days, so you can watch one channel but see what is being aired on other channels by way of a smaller screen within the same picture. Hope that makes sense. Appreciate any assistance you can offer. Cheers.

Its called track motion in Vegas. The controls are in the header of any video track. Basically you control how much of the entire project frame appears in any given video track by making simple sizing adjustments and/or pan/zoom.

Asimple basic tutorial and example can be found under track motion.
