Camera box

Specify which camera to take into account when working with a GMask. Select Auto Frame when the GMask is co-planar with the image. When the GMask is under a Perspective Grid node, or is not under the image, select a specific camera to view the scene from the same perspective in Result (F4) or Object (F8) view.
