[Bf-committers] Masks are not only for Mattes

[François T.]

+100 for that in the viewer (whatever if its ImageViewer or Composite or
new space. You should be able to work directly on your comp. and there is
no point to link mask to a footage. a Mask should be rasterized in comp and
plug into alpha or matte socket

Having it in MCE is nice for garbage tracking, but not suited for
compositing at all ! (I'm not even talking about motion design where you'd
actually play with shapes and keep it as is)
