I applied the Gaussian Blur effect on a video clip and used the pen tool to apply a mask around a number plate. I then hit the play button to track the mask as the car moves but the progress bar doesn't show any progress. When I select "Stop" I am then unable to select track again as all the buttons are greyed out.
I'm using M1 Max so I don't think it is an isssue with memory.
Sorry for the problem you’re experiencing. Could you share a screen recording of the issue so we can better understand what’s wrong? Also, please share the properties of the files you are working with. Is the problem present in this specific project or is it the same for all projects? Please share your system details too (OS, OS version, CPU, GPU, RAM).
@VPremEdit01 did you ever solve this? I am having the same issue on an M1 machine. Tracking starts, and stays at zero progress for as long as I don;t touch it - and nothing happens. If I cancel, the tracking controlls are greyed out and unusable.
Sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue. Could you share more details so we can reproduce the problem? Which version of Premiere Pro do you currently use? Let us know. We're here to help.
If it does not work in PPro, consider replacing the clip with an After Effects composition (thus creating a dynamic link between PPro and AE) and do the mask tracking there. It should work natively inside PPro, but if you want to get the work done, this can be a good work around.
This seems to be a pretty common issue with Apple Silicon Architecture. I have tried de-selecting, deleting the mask, picking a different frame, manually tracking a mask, tracking a mask one frame at a time, all with varying success.
I've posted in different threads, on different forums. The problem has persisted for more than a year for me. Mask tracking is either stuck at 0%, or it's only able to do a few frames before getting stuck. I can't do my work. If you own a machine with Apple Silicon, be very careful. Adobe doesn't care and they don't want your business.
For everyone with this same problem, create an account and comment here so Adobe can properly address it. Google search won't give you anything. Reddit doesn't have anything. Those random hacks, like changing the speed of your clip, work about 1 out of 10 times. I have not been able to do mask tracking for a year. I hope the devs can see this.
Not only is mask tracking not working, I've also noticed some recent "unreliability" with keyframing in general. I'll have 2 keyframes, simple mask movement.... but inbetween those 2 keyframes the mask will jump around, sometimes stay totally static until it hits the next keyframe, do movements that are not programmed and are nowhere between 2 keyframes... it's wild and super frustrating.
A post needs to use the BUG conversation type when you click it. And those that want to see the bug fixed need to upvote the thread at the very top left, that will get the Devs attention.
