I have been editing in premiere for 10+ years and this might be the worst update ive seen. Keyframes for the  mask tool dont work at all. The AI mask tool doesnt work at all and it broke the whole tool. I cant even do a simple hand animated mask. Adobe is way too big of a company for there to be problems like this with essential tools that we've had for decades. These are the things that make me want to abandon these programs. It is my fault I started this project in the beta version though i guess. Cant even revert to another version.

In order to animate/keyframe a mask it needs to be in Frame node not clip mode

You can't move it manually now. It doesn't create a keyframe.

You can't change the shape dinamically.

You have to animate it by touching the x - y coordinates manually.

 

Adobe should try their changes before publishing a new version.

You can revert to 25.5, but the mask feature will be broken. You will have to do them again.

 

Reverting is done by editing the project file.
