right now if I track 20 frames, then adjust the pattern or search area,
track again. Then want to refine/adjust the 20 first frames, my "settings"
for those frame are lost, I now have the settings of the 21+ frames. You see
? I shouldn't have to animate it myself, it should remember my settings
itself, since tracker settings are not for the footage itself, but for a
portion of frames (at least it happen often, especially w/ supervised
tracking)

that what I'm doing right now, it's good, but yet blender powa user :p

How does this work ? I can't seems to use them
