Write-On effect with Premiere Elements 2021

[defaulta47izyqsf4mn]

Has anyone successfully used the write-on effect with Premiere Elements 2021?  It seems like I can only position the brush with the coordinates and not by selecting anything graphically.  The onnline help about the feature is useless:

I've also looked at this:

However, there is no circled brush position.  Am I missing something or does this feature just not work?

It's not a well-designed feature. Even when it works.

My feeling is that Adobe sort of abandoned it rather than fix it.

Somehow I was able to get it to work once, but it is very slow and clumsy.  I have not been able to reliably use it.  This is a feature that much easier to use in PowerDirector.

I am using Premiere Elements 14 and I am having the same problem.  It will work but will test your patience to the limit.  Results will not come quickly.  I have to keep rendering and waiting for the program to catch up to my actions.  Very troublesome.
