How to make designs

This may be a little off topic, but I have Photoshop 7, and I want to make
some geometrical designs such as trapezoids or such and be able to
import these into Vegas 4. I want the video to show through the inside of
the trapezoid and nowhere else. The rest of the screen would remain a solid color or gradient. Does anyone know how to do this?

As always, your expertise is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You could use a cookie cutter right in Vegas.Did you try it?.
Masking will be ok too.
Another way would be create in PS image(trapezoid) as transparent part of image and place in timeline in desire position.
Many options. Try cookie cutter first and see what can you do.

You can also make the part you want to cut out a key color and chroma key it.

Just make your shapes on a transparent background, save them as a .psd file and then import the .psd file into Vegas. Anything that is transparent in Photoshop will be transparent in Vegas.
