You are describing the Rotoscope process, which Vegas doesn’t do. You might be able to do it in AfterEffects, or if you have Photoshop try exporting the scene in a sequence of stills, use Photoshop to remove the background of each image, then re-import back to Vegas.

Vegas can do frame-by-frame roto masking with the bezier masking tool just fine (Event Pan/Crop > Mask), but yes, After Effects’ tools are better. Still, if it was just one frame, I’d just do it in Vegas – save time and a few hundred dollars. That said, even though AE’s masking tools are better, there are NO magical mask buttons that will do what you want for free: it’s probably going to be a tedious, frame-by-frame-by-frame roto job for hours no matter what. Honestly, that’s the unglamorous side to what effects guys and gals do all the time, however.
