What is wrong with the bounding box?
At best the bounding box is visual clutter and poor interface design,
hindering more than it helps with precision roto.
The jack was an innovative interface design and being inside the roto
shape did not visually interfere with bezier edges when it comes to
precise positioning. The simplicity and eleagance of the jack's
controls are sublime grace compared to the bounding box's... awkward,
clunky, outmoded design ethos.
Just select on the transform tab
and you get the OSC like the old b
Thanks for the tip, but it's not quite the same. One instantly
noticeable difference: Ctrl drag on the jack's handle and you rotate
the jack relative to the shape (very useful). Do the same on the
transform tab version as you suggest and you skew the bezier shape. If
you want to skew the Jack bezier, you shift drag on any of the shorter
handles. To rotate the bounding box relative to the shape (for scaling
purposes for example) you have to rotate the shape to the angle you
want, deselect and reselect, then scale as needed.
Bounding box loses on all fronts.
Which is not to say that, overall, the new paint roto node is not better
than olden days. It is, overall, better. However the loss of the Jack
is too significant to ignore.

Heavy roto work demands ctrl+C go back to it's former function of copying
point values.
Replacing the Jack with a bounding box was another ... poor ... move on
Foundry's part.

On this subject then and for a straw pole - would anybody be upset if the
ctrl+c in a roto(paint) node was set to copy the shape's point values rather
than animation? Or conversely would people be happy if changed
The idea here is you could select a shape/points on a shape, ctrl+C move
down the timeline, ctrl+V and the shape's point values are pasted. (assume
there are a few inbetween keyframes of differing values)
Depending on consensus I'll add a feature request,
cheers

Is there a way to access the right click menu in rotopaint.
Become a Nuke developer. :)
(IOW, no.)
I'd like to assign the ctrl+c to copy point or spline values rather than
animation as it defaults to, and I'm not sure what menu to change
Please file a feature request with support.
