A simple but very useful tool to reproject images onto a geometry, either as a projection or a 3D stabilization, all with one single node

REPROJECT VZ
I found it very unnerving to use the many nodes to quickly project something onto a geometry.
In daily comp life a 3D projection is something very common, also stabilizing footage by projecting it onto a geometry is a very common workflow, but needs many nodes connected, and those make not only the script more messy but cost a lot of time.
Even more so if you have to do both (stabilize, edit, reproject).
So i built a simple but powerful gizmo. You just need to plug in your footage, your geometry and your shot camera.
The gizmo renders the projected image or the stabilized footage (a reference frame can be set in the gizmo).
All render options are accesible in the gizmo too.
You can also stack it, so stabilzing and then reprojecting only needs 2 nodes.
Any comments / improvement proposals are welcome.
Version 1.0 had a syntax error that caused the switch between stabilizing and matchmoving not to work. This is now fixed!
This is Version 1.1
