I can never resize mask box

[stever26434147]

Why can I NEVER resize the mask box?

No matter what part of the corner circles I grab - nothing.

Using Premiere Elements 2022

Any help? Thank you

What effect is this?

[stever26434147]

It's the Mask tool that I wanted to add a blur to.

[Ann Bens]

It does not look right.

It should be blue alround.

Have you any other effects applied besides the Blur?

Post screenshot Applied Effects with effects twirled down.

I can't grab the corners to drag either.  But, you can scrub or edit the numbers in the green box to change the shape and size of the box.

I have never noticed that I can edit the numbers - Thank you so much!

[Bill Sprague]

You are very welcome!  Thanks for posting that you have it working for you.

You dont need to superimpose if you want just one effect.

Thank you - does that one allow motion tracking?

Most of the time I just end up using Premiere Pro, BUT I love how fast I can edit with Elements 🙂

Elements does the same as Pro.

I would use Pro as Elements drives me up the wall.

I envy your level of skill and knowledge.   Pro's complexity (and my lack of practice) drives me up the wall.  I thought I had multi camera mastered.  Then the next time I tried, I failed!

Well I have been doing this for 23 years now.

Read a lot, learn from ones mistakes and practice, practice, practice.
