I think this may be easily handled when we have more explicit workflows in Blender. Then you can use the "active workflow" to guess what the user actually wants to do, and load it as a video in the motion tracker interface, add it to the VSE or load it as a video texture. Right now we'd have to guess, and I think that's a difficult game. -- Sybren A. Stüvel http://stuvelfoto.nl/ http://stuvel.eu/
