Hi, I’m on the latest Premiere Pro Beta. The Object Mask Tool works and tracking is fine, but there’s no highlight/outline showing in the Program Monitor. Overlays are enabled and I tried resetting preferences, but nothing helps. Is this a known bug or is there a workaround?

Thanks.

Hi @MJ Productions - When you have the object mask tool selected, do you have "Show Object Hover Preview" selected?

@jamieclarke  I’m on the latest beta (the colour tools) and also can’t get the mask tool to recognise objects:

  • Overlays is on
  • ‘Show object hover preview’ is on
  • The object is simple (see attached)

What am I missing? Have tried from both Edit and Colour.

Any help much appreciated. Cheers, Ben

Quit Premier and it now works. Not sure why.
