I am on a Win 8 PC, using PP CS6 (cloud subscription).
I am trying to mask an area of footage. I have seen several tutorials on how to do this with the Effects Control in PP CS6.
I have the latest updates to my CC subscription, but my Effects Control panel does NOT offer the same options as shown on the videos. I do not have the ellipse or the rectangle under "fast blur" that are shown in the video. I have NO "mask" option, let alone the "path", "feather", and "opacity" options shown in the tutorials.
I am at my wit's end. I have tried to update again, but get the message that all my programs are updated (as of today, an hour ago). Please advise, and thanks for your time!
The new mask feature is CC 2014 only.
Log out and in of the Creative Cloud and see if you have got the updates.
