Click the add ( + ) button in the output section, Next to mask there is a pencil icon, click that. Once you've completed drawing your mask, clock the Linear drop down box on the right side of the output window and change it to Bezier. That should achieve what you're looking for? Right?

Once you have your basic mask shape, in [Edit Points] mode, double clicking anywhere on the perimeter of your mask will add a point and shift + double clicking on a point will delete it.

Also keep in mind that if you're trying to do some complex masking, it might be easier to work with multiple overlapping masks.

Only con to this, is in the output you do not have a reference to where you are creating your mask. Please add this ability.

With your mask selected, select [Show Slice Grid] and [Show in Output] and you will see your points and handles as well as as a red cross line for your cursor in your output.
