All masks disappear when lowering program monitor resolution

I'm in premiere 26.3 and was editing in full resolution in the program monitor. As my project got bigger, I went to change the resolution to 1/2, which caused all of my masks to disappear when playing it back in the program monitor. The paused resolution, which is at full, still shows the masks and when I change the playback resolution back to full the masks work again.

This is stopping me from being able to edit what I need to as my computer cannot handle the project at full render quality, so any fix ideas would be appreciated.

I also add a video of one of about 8 examples from my 30 second timeliness so far, Thanks

Hey, to answer your first response and give more details, this is samsung log footage (with a conversion LUT), the sequence is 2160 x 3840 but the footage was shot in FHD so its upscaled (maybe making the problem a bit worse?), 29.97 frames, rec. 709, and H.264. Additionally I'm on windows with an Nvidia RTX 5060, version 32.0.15.8115

I do think what is happening in your test is what's happening in mine but you can take a look for yourself, thanks!

@DBW This does look like it is related to an issue we were already tracking. I’ve updated the ticket with this information. Thank you!

Workarounds while we fix this bug are to either continue setting to Full Resolution or to Transcode Media from Variable Bit Rate to Constant Bit Rate using Media Encoder.

You might also be able to utilize a proxy workflow, right click the clips inside Premiere and Create Proxies, then set the Program monitor to reference the proxies. Just remember to set the program monitor to Full on export when you toggle proxies off or this glitch will rear it’s ugly head again. Conversely, you could also treat Proxies as new masters by creating a matching resolution ingest setting as this will automatically update all of your sequences referencing these clips.

Unfortunately you will have to recreate your Object masks with Proxies and Resolution set to ½. It will upscale to Full Resolution, but will not downscale currently.

I will let you know when there is an official fix for this and sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello @DBW

Welcome to the Premiere Forums. Thank you for the screen recording, that’s very helpful. We could also use some of the other information in How do I write a bug report? as we investigate this issue. I believe you already provided the first six bullet points, but knowing more about your system and the files in use can help us recreate the bugs so we can fix them.

Hoping we can help,

Amy

Additionally @DBW

In my experiments we do have an issue with Variable Bit Rate (VBR) footage glitching when the resolution is set to ½ that we are currently working on. Could you do a screen recording where the Object Mask is selected so we could possibly see if the outline of the mask is still working, it just can’t capture the original frame because it bounced up out of visible frame?
