Rendering Issue if rendering clips using the new masking tool

[martinkuhn]

As posted many times, the new masking tool of the BETA-Version is just great. Thx for that.
My issue: I've generated text showing up behind masked objetcs and this shows perfectly in the program window inside PP.
(3 layers original video -> Text -> Masked orginal video)
If i render the video it is MISSING the "masked original video", meaning the expected effect is not shown.
Tried to render in deifferent Enocder settings -> does not work
Tried to "nest" the clip with this effect and render then -> does not work

OS: Windows 11 (most recent)
APP: most recent Beta of Premiere and MediaEncode
expected result: video rendering as shon in program monitor/ Result is: rendered video is missing the track with the masked object

any idea ?

Moved to beta forum.

Instead of using the term most recent, state exact OS version and Premiere version and build.

[martinkuhn]

Premiere Pro: V26.0.0 BETA (Build 22)
Media Encoder: V26.0 Build 8 Beta
Windows 11 25H2 (Build 26200.6725)

@martinkuhn thank you for the feedback. Can you please share the exact steps you used and maybe a screen recording if posssible? Hopefully we can get to the bottom of what you are experiencing.

Of Course.
- added a clip to the timeline  (Track1)
- duplicated the clip to Track 3
- Added a text to Track 2 (between Track 1/3) and also animated the text w/ keyframes
- used the new masking tool to mask out an object (fish) on Track3 and applied the mask to opacity
-> all showing up properly in the program window. The "text" is hiding nicely behind the object/fish (screenshot 1, 1b). Superfast rendering. perfect


- once i render the video w/ MediaEncoder the effect is lost (Screenshot 2). Text is not any longer hiding behind the object/fish.
Also "nesting" this small animation does not help.

Am i doing something wrong, or did i find a bug in the Beta?

I tried this on Windows but cannot reproduce.

Reset Preferences.

Try updating your Media Encoder to the most recently available build. Hopefully that resolves the issue.

Hi Ron
thx for your proposal

I'm using now MediaEncoder Version V26.0 Build 18 Beta, and the most recent PremierePro V26.0.0 Build 24. Rendering this animation does still not work. the Problem is still as described already.
Maybe the problem is only in the "german version"? ( ... i had a plugin thta workes only in the englisch version some time ago)

The good news: In the meantime at least a workaround seems to work -> Nesting the 3 Tracks/clips into 1, then it rendering works as expected.

Does the same issue occur if you export directly from Premiere instead of Media Encoder?

[martinkuhn]

Hi Ron

rendering directly in Premiere seems to work. Strange .....

Hopefully updating the beta version of Media Encoder resolves the issue.
