I think it would run afoul of MP in some situations, as previous =
information needs to be propagated frame by frame from the Base Frame =
(or last-calculated frame) to the current frame in order to process it. =
This can be sped up by finishing your Segmentation Boundary work and =
then clicking the Freeze button in the Layer panel to render and lock =
those calculations.
