[Bf-vfx] Non-square shapes for pattern and search areas

[François T.]

lol, yeah actually that's the first thing I change in the pref, the right
click selection !
Anyhow, I understand what you are saying, I have been dealing with this kind
of stuff in my everyday work, so I know very well the importance of having
a consistence in all your ergonomic design ! But in another hand, my goal is
to make the most suitable tool for the end-user, and in this case  I don't
care how it's done, do whatever you wants (autokey, under the hood, ...) at
the end as a matchmove workflow, you need that to be animated, and the user
shouldn't have to key it himself. that's all I'm saying ! after that, it can
be done in anyway you wish, I don't care :)
And if it is really not possible because of previous UI ergonomic design in
blender, then I guess it is fine... but it will just make it a less good
tool IMO. You have enough to care about while tracking that if you on top of
that you have to remember to key your settings, well it becomes a nightmare
:)


cheers
