Draw Mask bug in 10.2

Anyone else get this?

If I scale a clip and move it in X and Y (or just x or y) and then apply the Draw Mask effect, once I complete the loop of points, the position transforms reset to zero.

So, basically, I can only use this effect on unscaled, unmoved clips. That can't be right!

It works if you do the transform after you've drawn the mask.

It shouldn't really move at all should it Tom? Surely that's a bug?

I'd call it a bug. Definitely report.

Hey Damien,

It's a little bug, and it only affects the X and Y Position parameters, not the Scale. Please submit a bug report.

A workaround for now is to put the repositioned clip into a CC and apply the mask to the CC.

Maybe it's just me but why wouldn't you draw the mask before scaling or moving the clip in the first place since it would be easier to draw the mask on the full-screen video?

Definitely a bug. I had the same issue and fortunately found this thread so I could stop wondering what the heck was going on. If you apply the mask, then delete the mask, your transform data is still gone.

As to why apply the mask after transforming, you can easily increase the display size of the viewer to zoom the area you want to mask.

Until fixed you can copy the attributes for the clip, do the "draw mask" and then paste attributes for position. That's what I do.
