In pro 6 - I am able to create my inital mask at lets say 0 secs to 30 seconds on the clip, then 31-60 seconds I want to do a different mask. I could do this easily in premiere pro 4.   Where I can have different masks through ut a sequence.  But now in pro 6 - the 2nd mask is not taking. It shows it the effect window as implremented, but in the preview window, it does not show the mask in display why is this in prem pro 6

    Are you running CS 6 or are you talking about a version number of a newer Premiere?

    The old Prem Pro 6 does not have masks.

    Post screenshot of About Premiere Pro under Help to determine which version you are using.

    and of your Effect Controls window.

    As you’re aware you’re asking about a very old app that few have access to anymore.

    Maybe you could try nesting that clip and try applying the second mask to the nest.

    I’d also consider upgrading your Premiere, you’re missing out on so many amazing features.
