Hi! So I have been looking around and I haven't found the answer to my problem yet. I was trying to make a crop mask, but when I click on the pen tool and move my cursor to the video to start drawing my mask, it doesn't work. It says I have made a new mask, but my cursor doesn't change into the pen image, and I tried drawing anyways because I thought it may have been a glitch, but it is as if I didn't click the mask tool at all! Even though it says I have made a new mask in the effect controls.

You cannot have two crop effects on one clip.

And dont use the crop effect for masking. Use Opacity under Motion.

If you've got a screenshot or can do a quick youtube video of the problem that might be helpful to see what is happening. There is a 'Crop' effect, so unless you are using that, it's helpful to stick with the terms the software uses... like creating a mask, regardless of it's purpose.
