Brief title for your desired feature: Add side handles to new square masks in CC2014
How would you like the feature to work? Masks with corner AND SIDE handles, the same way shapes/text/titles/clips/effects/masks/etc have in Premiere (crop/motion/Titler assets), Photoshop, Illustrator, AE, etc, etc, etc.
Why is this feature important to you? Leaving side handles out of the square mask effect is INEXCUSABLE! Without side handles, changing the size of a rectangular mask and keeping it rectangular is a major, massive PITA! This problem is OBVIOUS! Adobe, you screwed us over with a half-baked crop effect without side handles for years, until it was finally fixed in CS6. How many years do you plan to screw us with your half-baked mask effect now? How many FRs and complaints will it require for you to fix this design flaw that's so obvious, it's now clear to me that this wasn't a mistake but rather a political decision to turn 1 feature into 2 "Look, we now have side handles in CC2017!" Please STOP these games. Your paying customers deserve better!
