MASK TOOL NOT WORKING AT ALL

App Version:
Premiere Pro Beta 26.0

Platform & OS Version:
Windows 11 (Desktop PC)

None of the masks work at all.
Neither the new Object Mask tool nor the old traditional masks.
Whatever I click (ellipse, rectangle, pen, object mask) — nothing appears, nothing activates, and masks simply do not work.
They don’t show up in the preview, I can’t draw them, move them, or adjust them.
This happens on every clip and every project.

I restarted the app and the PC — same issue.

Please check this because in this Beta version masking is completely broken on my system.

If needed, I can send a screen recording.

    I'm facing the same issue. It basically does nothing, can't click nor use that tool. I selected the tool as well as other options, but upon hovering it on the video it does nothing but works as a normal selection tool.

    Same here!  this is the exact same problem Im having, I can't see any mask when i draw them as well.  It was working fine on the previous build a few days ago, when I updated Beta yesterday this problem happened.
