Polygon mask doesn't work after closing Fusion

PostTue Jun 15, 2021 5:56 pm

Hello there.
I am working on a project where I'm animating a floating card. I have added the card front and back in the 3D space, masked out everything I needed and it worked like a charm, until I was forced to restart Davinci, only to find out, that the very first polygon mask (Polygon 3) simply refuses to work. Even after adding a new version of the PNG and adding a new poly mask it still won't budge. This is the most crucial mask for the animation and I can't get it to work. This is the second time this has happened and I would like to know why? As you can see on the picture, the polygon 3 gets rid of all the other unnecessary writings. The card on the right is supposed to be alone.
I already have the animation+the light set up, it's only this mask that simply won't work. Any ideas on how to get it working properly would be appreciated.

My specs:
AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core Processor 3.40 GHz
RAM: 16,0 GB
Microsoft 10 64 BIT
GFORCE RTX 2060 with Studio Driver 462.59

PROBLEM SOLVED!
Apparently when the playback function is set to quarter it simply downgrades the picture quality and ignores the mask for some reason. But works now!
