I'd like to see a (perfect) square and (perfect) circle in masks etc. I am forever having to 'guess' if a mask is exactly square or a circle is perfect. It would also be helpful to be able to resize and position accurately with position info for lining up multiple masks.

Great suggestion. I would like to add that the devs should disable movement upon first touching the vector point in a mask or shape.
Every single time I try to select a vector point, it moves that point unless I keep my mouse completely still. This is very annoying. It's been years of me selecting each point like I'm performing surgery.

ADOBE-- LISTEN TO THIS HUMAN!!! A square mask should be LITERALLY THE EASIEST THING TO MAKE. We should not have to be eyeballing shapes that should be perfectly easy to create and complaining about this for YEARS. It is absolutely bonkers that I have been looking through almost a decade of message boards asking for how to create a perfect circle mask in Premiere and NO ONE HAS AN ANSWER. FIX THIS!!!

Man. I have to agree with Zena Grey here. This is so strange for such a professional application to lack such a basic tool. If you can't fix it, can you at least explain to us here, in this thread, why this doesn't exist?

I've left this same suggestion as well. It is inconceivable that anyone would design a mask this way. Talk to the Illustrator, Photoshop and After Effects teams at your company. Go into any of these programs and draw a box. Then make it work that way in Premiere. Please.

Working with masks and keyframes is the worst thing that Premiere provides us with. What is the peculiarity of making the principle of working with masks as in AE? There should be a single management principle. Now in one program (Pr) it is possible so, in another (AE) it is completely different. We need to come to a single decision, then it will be easier to master the skills of high-speed work.

How is this not in the software already? Please get this fixed asap. This is a daily annoyance. EVERY time I use square masks, I struggle with this. EVERY time. And square masks are used all the time. Please just fix it!

Your greed is catching up to you. The premiere mask functionality has been around for a long time. I believe you made the masks challenging to use on purpose back in the Creative Suite days to make sure people had to buy a license for after effects, and I don't think the code has changed since then, even though your license model is different.

I would love to know why it is the way it is and why it isn't the same as all other adobe products. that's actually worth it to me. to simply hear from the product team on why? If they can't come up with one then just change the bloody thing to match your other products. I mean, just tell us. there must be a reason why?

@richard King I think the 'why' is that all too often, ego trumps reason (at Adobe as well as in the rest of the world). If someone makes a programming/design mistake, they'd rather protect their ego, insisting they were right, rather than listening to users and admitting they were wrong.

DR AKERECO A POWERFUL LOVE SPELL CASTER WHO DID A WONDERFUL WORK FOR ME His WhatsApp: +2348148822140
I never believed in love spells or magic until I met this spell caster on the internet. I meant a man whose name is Dr. Akereco. He is really powerful and could help cast spells to bring back one's lost, misbehaving lover and magic money spell or spell for a good job or luck spell. I'm now happy & a living testimony. The man I wanted to get married to left me a week before our wedding and my life was upside down because our relationship has been going on for 3years. I really loved him. So when I met this spell caster, I told him what happened and explained the situation to him. At first, I was undecided, skeptical, and doubtful, but I just gave it a try. And in 3 days, my boyfriend called me by himself and came to me apologizing that everything had been settled. Well we are happily married now and we are expecting our first child, and my husband also got a new job and our lives became much better.

Although making a perfectly square mask would be really great, having normal (AE, Photoshop, etc.) control (drag from corner or sides to resize) over the masks would be a massive improvement.
