Question

animating track mask not working

Just updated PR and the new masking scenario is confusing - I am unable to animate keyframe track mask. I start one first keyframe, draw my mask, next keyframe I move points, but then go back to previous keyframe and my initial position is gone and the shape of the second keyframe what’s there. How do I get my old way back where I can keyframe masks quick??

 

I am also missing these buttons

    As soon as you draw a rectangle/ellipse or use the pentool the Clip/Frame button will appear

    When you hover over the Toolbar mask icon, there's a pop up that links to their documentation. You MUST read that to get full use of it.

    What I can’t find is where the CLIP/FRAME button exists because there is not one on my program pane as per above.

    Give the precise steps you go through before it doesn’t appear ...
