Object mask tool stops working after sequential sequences are created

On launch first sequence created accesses object mask tool normally. Subsequent sequences are not able to access the object mask tool. The hover icon spins, and a mask instance is created in the Effect panel, but the clip is not masked.

    Hello ​@Flash Curious 

    Welcome to the Premiere forums. We will need more information to help us identify this issue. 

    • Screen Recording: If possible, include a recording of your screen showing the issue.
    • Premiere Version: How to find the exact version of Premiere you're using.
    • Operating System: Specify Windows or macOS, along with the version.
    • Chip (Mac Only): Specify which M-series Chip or CPU/GPU combo.
    • GPU and Driver (Windows only): Please let us know your video card and driver version. We recommend updating to the most recent version; for NVIDIA users, we strongly recommend the Studio version of the driver.
    • Video Format: If the issue relates to playback or export, please specify the format (and ideally share a sample video).
    • Project Size: About how big is your project file? Is it in a Production? Approximately how many clips are involved in a rough estimate?

    If you are willing to share a sample project and files, I can privately message you an upload link to share with our engineering team.

    Hoping to help,

    Amy
