How do I synchronize the operation of the masks?

I have two masks, but I can only work with one of them. The other mask is inactive. I want to change the color, but the color only changes on one mask. How can I make multiple masks work at the same time? It's kind of strange that the masks aren't dependent on each other—even if I split the video into two tracks, I can still only work with one of them; the other mask becomes inactive. Once again—I want to see two masks and work with them at the same time. But I can only work with one—the other one seems to be inactive. I've already tried unchecking the boxes.

You need to uncheck Inverted on both mask to use Lumetri

Both masks will be responding at the same time no need to select them as they are on the same clip

Just tweak Lumetri or whatever effect you are using.

Your screenshot shows you are only coloring the background.

It no different from the old mask feature.

You can break out the two masks and treat them differently by adding another Lumetri effect and putting one mask in each. Add the Lumetri effect by click the dropdown at the top of the first Lumetri instance:

Use the Rename option also, so you can readily identify the options.

It doesn't work. Only one layer is active. Fast blur

Masks apply effects to the area inside the mask. If want to blur the area outside of the masks, under the Object Mask settings, set them both to Inverted with Blend Mode set to Intersect.

Inverted mode still only applies to one mask; the second one seems to turn off automatically. I've tried all the modes—nothing works. That's why I'm posting here. I think the problem lies with the program itself, not the modes.
