The mask in the effects control panel should allow you to create a perfect square mask.

Dragging a shape using the Shift key will create a perfect circle in Photoshop and Illustrator.

Premiere Pro users are frustrated because they can't do this when creating masks with effects or opacity.


エフェクトコントロールパネルのマスクで完全な正方形のマスクを作成できるようにすべきだ!

Shiftキーを使用して図形をドラッグすると、PhotoshopとIllustratorで完全な円を作成できます。

Premiere Proユーザーは、エフェクトや不透明度でマスクを作成する時、これを行うことができないため、不満を感じています。

Please rework how masks work to bring it into the modern era, devs!

Although making a perfectly square mask would be really great, having normal (AE, Photoshop, etc.) control (drag from corner or sides to resize) over the masks would be a massive improvement.

激しく同意!

なぜ、Adobeはこんな基本的な機能の改善をしないのか理解できない。

I agree vehemently!

I don't understand why Adobe doesn't improve such a basic feature.

DR AKERECO A POWERFUL LOVE SPELL CASTER WHO DID A WONDERFUL WORK FOR ME His WhatsApp: +2348148822140

I never believed in love spells or magic until I met this spell caster on the internet. I meant a man whose name is Dr. Akereco. He is really powerful and could help cast spells to bring back one's lost, misbehaving lover and magic money spell or spell for a good job or luck spell. I'm now happy & a living testimony. The man I wanted to get married to left me a week before our wedding and my life was upside down because our relationship has been going on for 3years. I really loved him. So when I met this spell caster, I told him what happened and explained the situation to him. At first, I was undecided, skeptical, and doubtful, but I just gave it a try. And in 3 days, my boyfriend called me by himself and came to me apologizing that everything had been settled. Well we are happily married now and we are expecting our first child, and my husband also got a new job and our lives became much better.

I think the 'why' is that all too often, ego trumps reason (at Adobe as well as in the rest of the world). If someone makes a programming/design mistake, they'd rather protect their ego, insisting they were right, rather than listening to users and admitting they were wrong.

This same issue is also present when using the shape options in the Essential Graphic's window's New Layer menu. To get that fixed as well, please vote here: https://adobe-video.uservoice.com/forums/911233-premiere-pro/suggestions/45693763-replace-new-layer-menu-in-eg-with-an-intelligent

I would love to know why it is the way it is and why it isn't the same as all other adobe products. that's actually worth it to me. to simply hear from the product team on why? If they can't come up with one then just change the bloody thing to match your other products. I mean, just tell us. there must be a reason why?

Your greed is catching up to you. The premiere mask functionality has been around for a long time. I believe you made the masks challenging to use on purpose back in the Creative Suite days to make sure people had to buy a license for after effects, and I don't think the code has changed since then, even though your license model is different.

How is this not in the software already? Please get this fixed asap. This is a daily annoyance. EVERY time I use square masks, I struggle with this. EVERY time. And square masks are used all the time. Please just fix it!

Working with masks and keyframes is the worst thing that Premiere provides us with. What is the peculiarity of making the principle of working with masks as in AE? There should be a single management principle. Now in one program (Pr) it is possible so, in another (AE) it is completely different. We need to come to a single decision, then it will be easier to master the skills of high-speed work.
