The Camera Tracker is in dire need need of an Advanced Feature set. 

  1.  Film back size with known/approximate focal length with savable presets. FOV is not enough. FOV is the result of Film Back & Focal Length, not the other way around. 
  2. Supervised trackers. there needs to be a way to use motion trackers in camera tracker as supervised trackers to assist in the solving of the camera and estimate of the point trackers. this is a must have.
  3.  Make masks work on the layer for the exclusion and inclusion of areas for the point trackers to track. no more of this precomping masks to ignore objects. 
  4.  A solve button. let me choose when I want to solve
  5.  A real lens distortion workflow. This should  be comprised of a few things: First, please go look at what Russ Anderson has done with the lens distortion workflow from Syntheyes to After Effects. It is a simple a brilliantly executed workflow with an actual lens distortion plug in and a lens grid tool. that's your model. Second, Native STMap support. AE should have the ability to read and write STMaps for lens distortion. and Third. Solve for distortion on solve.
