Object mask became extremely slow after update from 26.3.2 premiere

Hello @Amy the Stuv,

Thank you for your reply!

Unfortunately, all new projects with newly imported clips are significantly slower in version 26.5.2 compared to 26.3.2.

In version 26.3.2, the Object Mask Tool takes around 7–10 seconds (sometimes up to 30 seconds) to initially analyze a clip and allow me to select an object. Once the clip has been analyzed, selecting additional objects in the same clip is much faster, usually taking just 2–3 seconds.

In version 26.5.2, however, the initial analysis of the exact same footage takes around 1–2 minutes. Once the analysis is complete, selecting objects is fast again (around 2–3 seconds).

But there's another issue: if I switch to a different clip and then return to the first one, it seems that the tool loses the previous analysis results and has to analyze the clip all over again, which can take another 2–3 minutes.

When I say "it doesn't work," I mean that sometimes, even after waiting those 2–3 minutes, the tool fails to detect any objects at all. I can't select anything because no objects are detected.

Most of the time, though, the tool does work — it's just extremely slow compared to the previous version.

Just to clarify, I'm referring specifically to the initial clip analysis required for object detection and selection, NOT the object tracking process.
