keyframes are ignoring my position within ellipse mask under lumetri premiere 2026. I’ve done a screen recording that I can send to adobe privately. I cant post the footage here. I just want to make the screen black and white and draw a circle around the subject who needs to be in color and I’m trying to keyframe it and its ignoring my keyframes.

Hi @rachelcenter
I checked out your video, and after you apply that ellipse, you can see in the program monitor a box that says clip and frame for the Frame toggle to the frame box. Ann Bens supplied a reference image from the article, and here is a reference to a sequence to which I have applied the frame mode.
Here to help.

You need to be in Frame mode if you want to mask manually.

what is frame mode and how do you get into frame mode? When I click your article and do Command F and type in frame mode, the only sentence that comes up that has frame mode in it is this sentence which doesnt tell me how to achieve that: “Ensure you are in Frame mode. Move the play head forward a few frames.”

Look at the tools in the Program monitor.

Might want to read the link I gave.
