    I have a clip with 90% speed. I have Lumetri and a Levels filter on the clip….it is V1. I copied the clip and put it above and added a mask and adjusted Lumetri for the masked area. So far so good. Now I needed to add back part of the original shot so I duplicated V1 again and put it on V3. I made a small mask and tried to track it over the part I needed revealed. The mask does not track the footage and it doesn’t even stay in the right spot….in other words the shape of the mask is not the area that it is actually masking….driving me nuts!

    Works ok on 100% speed clips….anything I change the speed, the masks go wacky.

    Nest the clip with the speed change.

    And honestly, since most of these “options” are plug-ins, I would render a copy (90% speed) and re-import.

    But after your locked in of course.

    I tried both of these things. Still the mask goes whacky after a few keyframes are added. Absolutely befuddling. I figured nesting would work….nope. Then I exported the clip running at 90% and brought it back in….nope, either the clip drifts between layers, or the mask literally renders in a different spot than where it is drawn!

    A static frame example would be nice.

    Have you tried After Effects?
