how to do masking accurately

Question

I do a lot of masking, carefully following the outline of an object I want to superimpose onto a different background, or change the colour of, etc, but it's very difficult to control the mouse accurately. You end up with a really aching hand because you are holding the mouse so tightly as you try to move a mask point 0.1 of a millimetre. Is there some way to move the mask point more easily and accurately using a tool with much bigger movements?

To create more accurate masks in Adobe Premiere Pro, try the following tips:Zoom in on the Program Monitor: Increasing the zoom level helps with precision when placing and adjusting mask points. Use the zoom dropdown at the bottom of the Program Monitor or scroll with your mouse wheel.Use arrow keys for fine adjustments: After selecting one or more mask points (vertices), use the arrow keys to move them one pixel at a time. Hold Shift while pressing an arrow key to move points in 5-pixel increments.
