Whenever i mask, premier will freez

[Martin5C22]

I have one really big problem with premier.

I often use masks in PP, it always worked, but now, whenever i use masks (opacity or on other effects) PP will Freez, preview of video is all glitche, and so on. Once i overcome it with reseting premier every minute, while masking, but then after rendering, the video was totally useless (all glitchy) audio worked jsut fine.

I reset preference, optimazed settings and perfermonce. Updated Premier to newest version, tried it in new projects with whole new preferences. And Masking alway don't work. Everything else work perfectly fine.

I don't know what to do with it.

Delete the Media Cache and Media Cache files:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:
Reset a workspace
Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
1. Do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
• Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn’t work, try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site. If NVIDIA, do a clean install of the latest Studio Driver (NOT the Game Driver)

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.
