Platinum is like Vegas Pro, but with a lot less features. No, you can't mask in Platinum but in most Pro versions, you can. Sony's Movie Studio is more of a consumer- level program, so you really won't be able to do much in editing terms other than basic fades/cuts and effects. Vegas pro is what you'll need if you want masking... and you don't really have to be a "professional" editor to make use of its other functions.
