The Ellipse Tool in premier pro beta, does not work! I knew I shouldn't have updated the system today. (never update premier pro beta when you have a project due)

    A fix is available starting in Premiere Pro beta 26.3x52. When you can, please give the fix a try and let us know if it is working as you expect.

    Hi ​@josephd86857968,

    Thanks for your report. I can reproduce this in today’s build of Premiere Pro.

    As a workaround, shape creation is still possible via the “Create new graphic” button at the bottom of the Properties panel (when no clips are selected), or from the top menu Bar Graphics and Titles > “New Layer”

    And as a best practice, it is recommended that you do not use the beta versions for critical production work in the event that something goes awry.

    Cheers,
    Theresa
