For some reason, when I attempt to move the rectangle mask to the bottom of my title, it moves whatever it was highlighting down, kind of like cutting something in paint and then moving it. How do I fix this?

Muito bom... Gosto muito dos seus tutoriais. A única desvantagem deles é que eu não consigo entender nada, não falo inglês.
Mesmo assim dá pra fazer tudo. Só que quem não entende o que se está dizendo tem muito mais trabalho pra fazer.

The tutorial was a big help. Even though theres a skip in editing around 10:14, easy fix.
Any chance you could help me with something
I'm trying to get just the eyes to glow on a person. You know like an inner demon or spiritual being. I've done multiple motion tracks and glow possibilities but because people blink the effect doesn't seem bear fruit.
Wanna give it a try and help a follow film maker

At 6:40 He's referring to "The previous tutorial" what tutorial is he referring to?

The tutorials are all number. This one is 104 so I assume he is referring to 103 which is 3d ball dispersion.
