I just updated to Premiere Pro 26. Currently learning my way around the new masking layout.

I'm having an issue when attempting to create a standard non-moving mask with the "Pen Mask Tool". When I click to make my first mask point on the project panel, nothing appears, no blue dot. The mask point is indeed being created, I just cant see it! I have it set to Frame mode, not sure whats going on?

In other words: I am unable to see the mask points I'm creating.

Came to find if someone had the same problem.

The bug was also in the Beta, I don't know how they release it if they know the problem was there.

Project PaneL: you mean Program Monitor

If you want a static mask (not animated) you set it in clip mode.

If you want an animated mask you set it to Frame Mode and keyframes will appear in the Effect controls.

My mistake, yes, the Program Monitor.

I still can't get the mask points to appear in the Program Monitor, reguardless of Clip/Frame setting. The mask, and keyframes (if I were animating it) appear just fine in the effect controls. What im having trouble with, is seeing the points I'm attempting to create in the Program Monitor. It's like I'm drawing the mask blindly.
