Lumetri Masks, they don't seem to be working correctly. What am I doing wrong?

Question

I just spent an hour tracking a mask. Basically, I put a blur affect on an adjustment layer with a blend mode change. A hand comes into frame and changes color (becomes over saturated), so I applied a mask. I painstakingly went frame by frame and adjusted the points to mask out the hand from the blur effect and when I went back to play, the mask was averaged: all the individual points I made were removed.

Is this normal or did I do something wrong in masking?

Dont see any issues with Lumetri masks.Sometimes its better to put them on the clip itself.If you track a mask manually make sure you start with enough points.Dont add or subtrack points, use the same amount from beginning to end.

It happens so often that when I'm masking for a wipe/mask transition that either PP crashes or the mask just doesn't update all the points. I think this is just something that Adobe can't really put it's finger on how to fix that issue. You could try to right-click the video and use the "Replace by After effects comp" and do the same thing in AE.
