Gaussian Blur only applies to the first mask when multiple masks are created

When I apply the Gaussian Blur effect and create multiple masks, the blur is applied only to the first mask. The other masks do not show any blur effect.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Add a clip to the timeline.

  2. Apply the Gaussian Blur effect.

  3. Create a mask under the Gaussian Blur effect.

  4. Create one or more additional masks under the same effect.

  5. Adjust the blur amount.

Expected result:

Gaussian Blur should be applied to every mask created under the effect.

Actual result:

Gaussian Blur is applied only to the first mask. The additional masks have no blur applied.

Hi ​@Edn ryu 

  • Can you confirm if one of your mask is not Unassigned
  • Are you using Color Mode or Edit Mode?

Here on windows works as expected.
Might have the second mask set to subtract?
