Tracking not working over a transition on the same track

Hi @Piers27993239ra3u -  Even though you’re using a cross-dissolve or fade transition, Premiere treats each side of the transition as belonging to a separate clip. The mask tracker doesn’t track through the midpoint of a transition the point where the outgoing and incoming clips overlap.

If you need the mask to continue through the entire transition, a workaround is to extend the clip in a nested sequence and apply the mask and tracking there. This allows the tracker to operate across what would otherwise be treated as two separate sections.

hi @jamieclarke. Thanks for your quick responses on this.

It's not a cut transition; it's a fade transition, so technically the clip should extend to the end of the transition, but I'm unable to track past the mid point of the transition (where a cut would exist if no transition had been added if that makes sense), so I can't mask the areas I need to at the end of the transition.

Hi @Piers27993239ra3u - The mask tracker does not track across cut points if you want the mask to continue to track then you can select the next clip after the cut point and then start tracking again.

Yes, I'm attempting to track the mask over the transition so the blur follows right to the end of the clip rather than stopping at the mid point of the transition. Currently either attempting to track the mask on the transition or trying to manually move a mask after the playback bar has passed the middle of the transition does not work. Apologies, due to child protection I had to blur the preview image.

Hi @Piers27993239ra3u -   Thanks for submitting your bug report. We need a few more details to try to help with the issue.
Are you trying to track the mask on the transition?  Do you have preview enabled in the wrench menu?

Sorry for the frustration.
