Successful Results: Inside the Main Layer & Text Shape serving as the Mask 🙂 

 

Fig 1. Before

 

Fig 2. After

 

Tip:

  1. Ensure Desired Interior Footage is Highlighted with Cursor Tool.

 

2. Then, Either:

   a. Via Composition Visual Display Screen

       -Drag it About Directly by Physically Clicking the Displayed Footage. 

        

              or

   b. Via Timeline Layers

       -Tap Keyboard Letter "p",  Followed by Adjusting the Graphical Coordinates.

*Specific Region is Referring to Spacial Position of Video, & Nothing to do with Time.
