I want to make a mask in Video Editing on a video. I am told that I have to press Ctrl + Left Click. The problem is that when I do this it doesn't work.

Nothing is displayed, the points to make the mask do not come.

How to fix this problem? I'm with version 3.3 of Blender.

The default for blender 3.3 has the mask display unchecked for whatever reason. Located by the overlay menu. Mask Display location By clicking on the dropdown you can turn on both the spline (which will then display the points you're attempting to create) and the overlay. I recommend using combined so that you can see your mask settings over your render. Mask Display Settings

I don't have much experience with the masking tool in video editing, but I found these two videos extremely important/helpful as I ran in to a couple other issues myself while setting up the mask for a video:
