I have attempted several times (after manually adding a few mask path keyframes) to use the mask path tracker function to speed up the proccess. after waiting a while (a few hours) the tracking window still shows no progress. I tried exiting and re-opening premier and restarting my laptop and it still wont work

 

(i'm working off a macbook pro)

    Tracking masks in Pr. works terribly unproductive, and even buggy. Personally faced with such a problem. And I couldn't solve the task through mask tracking. A lot has already been written about this, but little is being done to make tracking stable and productive.

    If you don't mind, write the problem on the forum in the Bug section  (follow the link below) and attach your original screen as confirmation. Developers should react to this behavior of MASK in Pr. And so this bug will continue to persist and spoil the joy of working with tracking masks.

      I recommend After Effects for this.

      To perform a creative transition or color correction of an area in the frame, do you need to go from Pr to AE? )

      not really productive. AE was developed for a different purpose. Here we are talking about improving the algorithm of mask tracking. They need to be adjusted in Pr. Otherwise, for each edit, you will create tons of Comp and it is unknown how all your movements and dynamic bundles will affect performance later. This is just a mask that should work perfectly to fulfill its functionality in Pr.

          And in manual mode it didn't help me either. The mask hung and that was it. I started anew, then again the same "song". The algorithm of mask tracking was broken, which is why it turned out to be not as easy as it seems to perform a simple task. And this is just a MASK tool.
