Mask tracking zero progress

Hello,

I applied the Gaussian Blur effect on a video clip and used the pen tool to apply a mask around a number plate. I then hit the play button to track the mask as the car moves but the progress bar doesn't show any progress. When I select "Stop" I am then unable to select track again as all the buttons are greyed out.

I'm using M1 Max so I don't think it is an isssue with memory.

Thanks,

Hi @Kevin-Monahan. Good news. I found my problem. I was using the "Insta360 Reframe - Plugin for Adobe Premiere" so I could work with Insta360 footage in Premiere. I uninstalled that, and the audio issues are gone. It was Insta Free Frame footage I was editing. So I exported that video with the plugin installed (it stabilised the video). Then uninstalled and exported the audio without any issues - no more random clicks and pops.

I can't believe this is still a fundamentally huge bug in PP. Tracking masks is a big deal. I'm soooo tired of manually adjusting and moving masks. FIX IT!!!!!

I've tried using different effects, proxies, reinstalling Premiere Pro and STILL the tracking doesn't work – it sits at zero progress, and when cancelled the arrows are greyed out. Being able to mask a number plate is vital for me, and I have to do it frame by frame. It worked great about six years ago, but has never since. I'm really, really frustrated with this.
