Colorista in Motion

I downloaded the demo as soon as I heard of Power Windows finally being available for a nice price as an FxPlug. But unfortunately the controls in Motion for adjusting the mask is just downright absurd, even worse than in FCPro (didn't think that was possible).

The only thing I can adjust with the mouse in the Canvas is the width of the mask. To position it I have to use the Top/Bottom sliders in the Filters tab. Trying to trial-and-error the mask into place (a facial relight, vignette, etc) is mind-numbing. Is this a limitation in Motion, not being able to adjust the Top/Bottom positions with the mouse, or is it a "feature" in Colorista? I hope it's the latter so it can be fixed quickly.

Colorista is doing really nice color work, and when Power Windows are usable to manipulate (keyframe, track (a tracking-FxPlug would be nice, thanks)), then this package should be well worth its price. I do hope I'm missing something obvious here...
 
Thanks, but no discussion about the weird Power Mask controls inside Motion. I just want to make sure there's nothing wrong with my installation. I have the latest 2.1.2.

What I wish is that the controls for adjusting and positioning the mask inside Motion should be like in After Effects. Three control points you can adjust with the mouse inside the Canvas; top, bottom and radius. As of now I have to manually drag the sliders inside the filters tab to move the mask. Mouse-dragging inside the canvas only adjusts the radius...

That's the way it
works in FCPro, and it works well for me.
