This new mask tool is awesome. But how do I mask with the Pen Tool instead of creating shapes?

Hello!

I recently updated to 2026 and I can't wait to finally be able to mask people out like I would in After Effects. But I'm having an issue that's come around with the new update.

In previous versions I would press P and use the Pen Tool to create masks. Because of this I've gotten used to that workflow. In the new update when I press P and go to use the Pen Tool it just creates Shapes on top of footage I'm attempting to mask. Is there a way to have the original Pen Tool create masks instead of creating Shapes or do I need to rebind P to the new version of the Pen Tool?

Thank you for your time!
