Low res/boxy Object mask results

There is an issue with object masks. Results are coming back boxy and unusable.
I have tried to use both smooth and sharp masking and both times its not clean. Further, I have also restarted the app + changed the resolution to Full + HQ playback.

Example images attached.

    Hi Vikas!

    Unfortunately, I can't use it here at the company because the other employees use the "non-Beta" version.
    I know myself; if I test the Beta again, I'll get addicted and only want to use it, hahaha.

    I "solved" it using the classic After Effects.

    Hoping that this bug will be fixed someday.
