Could you offer a sample file for download?

Unfortunately ShadowPlay use to record non-standard video files. One thing often works is re-muxing such files before importing into Vegas Pro.

Try “View” menu: “Information for active Take”.

It’s a long time ago I tried to do this in Vegas Pro and I gave up because it was so hard to get a clean mask. I don’t remember the exact steps to take. Besides shadows and noise, also if forground object and background are close in color and/or luma it would very hinder this process.
I think you would start with two layers of same shot and apply a difference mask to the top layer. Then you’d start color/luma correcting a parent layer above the two others and hopefully resulting in a clean pure black&white mask. But this is where it most often fails. If it worked you could nest this composition to a new Vegas instance and use that mask project as base for a multiply mask compositing mode combined with the mask fx and fine tune a bit via the mask fx adjustments.
If you try using the difference mask compositing you could probably guess if this could work or not.I thought the Echo FX of HitFilm Ignite would do almost same, but it is different. So without chroma keying I don’t know how this would properly work. All these clone fx plug-ins available work the other way round.

Imho, there is no easy way in Vegas Pro. In theory you could use difference masking to create a black & white mask and use this mask again with another FX and compositing modes to get close to the desired result. But actually the slightest shadow (and even noise) would make this a hard job.

This is what right-clicking the video frame inside of Pan/Crop does here:
-
No, there is no difference. It works fine with video.
Don’t right-click the clip. Open Pan/Crop for that clip and right-click the frame inside the Pan/Crop window.
-
Then you need to use Pan/Crop.
Right-click into the editing area of the Pan/Crop window and select “Match Output Aspect” while “Stretch to Frame Size” is unchecked.
-
Set your Vegas project properties (the frame size) to same size as your video is.

I think any FX used could break an AAF workflow though usually FX should just be ignored without causing an error.
Also velocity is something not trivial to transfer.
Did you try using a most simple test project which doesn’t contain any FX, just plain events with simple cuts?
