Mask selection is not showing on premiere 2026

A quick update on how to “fix” it on my end, is simply disable the rulers (view > uncheck “Show Rulers”). So silly, but at least now I know what im doing when creating a mask.

Think you might have released this too soon with no usable option for masking? Not a good look for Adobe.

When I try to use object masking, it doesn’t work. The lasso doesn’t work, and neither does the rectangle. Every other mask works, but I need the tracker because what I’m trying to mask is always moving. It was working fine last night, but now it’s like Premiere doesn’t even realize I’m using the tool at all. Everything is up to date 

Same issue. Everything worked on the last video. Now it doesn’t. I’ve toggled guides/rulers/etc. I confirmed that the mask still works by dragging it to the Opacity Effect. But I have to guess what is being masked. SUPER FRUSTRATING 😢

Same thing happening here. Tried many of the solutions below. 

Windows 10

CPU Ryzen 5900x

GPU Radeon RX6600

GPU Intel Arc B580

Same issue here, no visible mask outlines. No rulers or guides active, changing to opacity mask didn’t change anything. The new mask feature worked for me before, I know how to use it. Though it was much more hardware demanding than the old one. Its seriously a joke that I can’t access basic and often used features, the new mask should have stayed in the beta until Adobe figured out all the bugs. Its horrible to have this in a release version, can’t believe I pay money for this. And another reason to switch to DaVinci.

Updating my graphics card driver solved this issue for me (Windows 10, NVIDIA GPU)

I think I found a solution, or at least it worked for me:

• In the object mask dropdown menu, select “Pen Mask Tool”
• Create the mask you need
• The mask will appear under “Unassigned Masks” in “Effect Controls”. Right-click the mask and select “Convert to Opacity Mask”, and that’s it.

Same issue, all masking indicators are invisible.

EDIT: A Premiere Pro restart fixed it but still shouldn’t be happening
