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,

      i found a soultion for me. when it tracking gets stuck, click stop.

      i add a new mask and right click > cut.

      this resets the oriignal mask from greyed out, and then i click advance again.

        Bizarre that that works. Will have to try it next time. Thanks for the info.

          This is an issue that has been going on for almost two years. Mask tracking only works one out of ten times. Most of the time it is stuck, like the screenshot below:

           

           

          My current system is M1 Max, 32GB ram, Ventura 13.5.1

          Premiere Pro version 23.6 (apple silicon AND intel)

           

          Mask tracking has been stuck like that since late 2021 after I got the M1. Sometimes it works and speeds through. Most of the time it gets very stuck, or tracks just a few frames at a very slow speed (minutes per frame) before getting stuck again.

            There are many people with mask tracking problems on apple sillicon. Please create an account and upvote if you have the same problem so the devs know. Mask tracking still hasn't been fixed in two years. This is ridiculous.

                A post needs to use the BUG conversation type when you click it. And those that want to see the bug fixed need to upvote the thread at the very top left, that will get the Devs attention.

                  I've made a "bug" post. Hopefully the devs will finally notice. Thank you for the suggestion!

                    For everyone with this same problem, create an account and comment here so Adobe can properly address it. Google search won't give you anything. Reddit doesn't have anything. Those random hacks, like changing the speed of your clip, work about 1 out of 10 times. I have not been able to do mask tracking for a year. I hope the devs can see this.

                      Not only is mask tracking not working, I've also noticed some recent "unreliability" with keyframing in general. I'll have 2 keyframes, simple mask movement.... but inbetween those 2 keyframes the mask will jump around, sometimes stay totally static until it hits the next keyframe, do movements that are not programmed and are nowhere between 2 keyframes... it's wild and super frustrating.

                        I see the following message in the console a lot:

                        cgswindowshmemcreatewithport failed on port 0

                        I've posted in different threads, on different forums. The problem has persisted for more than a year for me. Mask tracking is either stuck at 0%, or it's only able to do a few frames before getting stuck. I can't do my work. If you own a machine with Apple Silicon, be very careful. Adobe doesn't care and they don't want your business.

                          This seems to be a pretty common issue with Apple Silicon Architecture.  I have tried de-selecting, deleting the mask, picking a different frame, manually tracking a mask, tracking a mask one frame at a time, all with varying success.

                           

                          Using M1 Ultra, 64 GB, etc.

                          Mac M2 ULTRA and mask tracking doesnt work. No progress. This is insane. Time to goto Davici Resolve
