Glaxnimate Mask - Video Preview not loading

Trying to use the mask function on Shotcut and Glaxnimate.
Put 2 video tracks and a video on each track
The on top one I click filter and choose mask glaxnimate draw and click new
Glaxnimate loads but all I see are grey boxes, no preview of the video I want to put a mask on
Any help?
Thanks!

Hi @Aamir2727
1 Mask : Draw (glaxnimate) : OK
2 Click New : OK

3 A ‘New Glaxnimate animation’ window appears.
Choose a folder (the project folder) and enter a name for the Glaxnimate animation (.rawr) you’re about to create.
Click on Save.

4 Glaxnimate opens with the video you’ve chosen.

If you click on ‘Edit’, what happens?

As @SergeC said, you have to first initialize the file, close it, go back to the mask in Shotcut and click Edit. Glaxnimate will re-open but with the preview loaded this time

Due to the way this works (shared memory) and a bug in macOS, sometimes you need to reboot the computer in order to get it working again.

That is normal behavior when using a project folder.
