Ways around to masking in Sony Vegas Platinum

I was wondering whether anyone could help me with this query.

I have bought Sony Vegas Platinum 11 (32bit PC) and its apparent the masking function is not there ( i realise it is only in Pro )

Is there anyway around this ? I have looked at the mask generator within the FX but can't seen to get it to do what im trying to do. I have tried to use the Cookie Cutters - but they seem to just cut away rather than grab hold of a certain area to crop/pan/effect ... I am trying to create the Demon Face look :-D like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVpUA...4D525&index=29 ( you should check out Little Rich's channel - he is well cool - Two dwarves in a bath tub - classic ) ! Anyway, this is what i'm trying to to -

I have also tried using the Pinch/Punch - which creates a similar effect but - the selected areas stay in the same spot and don't move with the subject :-S

Can anyone help - is it possible to mask elsewhere and then import into Sony Platinum ? If anyone can bung me a Youtube tutorial on it that would be great ! ? ! ( i seem to be hitting dead end videos all the time - with either wrong information - or for Sony Pro )

Thankkeeees - love and peas x:p
