New masking - object mask data in the external file

Report · Oct 30, 2025

Hello, I'm the author of a Premiere Pro plugin called "Mask To Transform" which is able to convert the tracked mask into position/scale/rotation keyframes that can be applied to a Trasnfrom effect to e.g. make motion graphics "stick" to an object in the scene etc. My plugin is officially available in Exchange: here's the link https://exchange.adobe.com/apps/cc/105713/mask-to-transform

Now with the new masking soluion in Beta my customers are writing to me that my plugin stopped working and it would be amazing if I can make it work with the new (and admittedly pretty awesome) object masking. The problem is that the object mask data sits in a binary file on disk and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to read it.

So my question is: for the purposes of extention development is there a way to somehow read the data stored in these object mask files?

Thanks,

Kamil

No, we have no plans to expose or document the information in object mask files.

As mentioned elsewhere, we'd be happy to help with "plugin stopped working", provided some actionable specifics...?
