I click my free bezier pen tool and move with cursor to the programm monitor .

I see the pen tool in the monitor, but clicking or dragging does not start the mask that I want to draw. What do I wrong?

I think maybe you should share a screenshot or perhaps even a short screen movie of what you are seeing.

Thanks to everybody who paid attention to my problem. I have found the answer myself : if you apply adjustment layer(s) in upper track(s), switch them of until your RGB Curves effect is ready.

Works if you just add an adjustment layer! THANK YOU!

I fixed the problem by increasing the size of my program monitor.

The mask is there, but for some reason, if the program monitor is too small, it will remain invisible.

You can also fix it by increasing the resolution of your sequence.

This is not a solution but a workaround.

Was this solved ? I have the same problem, the tool shows up in the project window but acts really jumpy and eratic and wont plot points correctly, and when i open the full screen project view the pen head is in the window and when i click to add points do not show up but they are there because when you hover over the mouse head changes. No matter how many times i restart premiere makes no difference. It worked correctly for the first time yesterday but not working again today.

Hi Ruud,

I tried the Free Draw Bezier tool in the RGB Curves effect for quite awhile and had no issues. I think we may need more info.

Thanks,

Just to be clear, you are selecting the "Free draw bezier" pen tool from within an effect in the Effect Control Panel, right? As opposed to the "Pen Tool" from within the tools palette. Because they do two very different things.
