In my use case I basically never do picture in picture. I just want to produce content "as live". If you go on YouTube you can find a bunch of behind the scenes videos of people editing together live events on the fly. This should give you a good idea of what "as live" editing is like.

Since you never do picture-in-picture, I assume i understand what you mean. However, I don't think I found examples on youtube. For some searches, the closest I got was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFRI6YTAhvw and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTpo9Tj-xQg

Can you post a youtube video of what you mean (even though I think I understand :D)? Thanks!

Here is a nice example with a gameshow:

Basically the director is giving instructions to camera people and then switching feeds on the fly. (though the actual feed switching is done by an assistant). I want to watch my footage in realtime and just hit 1,2,3,4 to switch between the various feeds.

Got it, so my initial understanding (I hope :D) was correct. Having said that, you don't want to do this process live, right? (if so, what you want will definitely be doable, withing 1.5 months or so)

LATER EDIT: On another note, I'm curious how big of a use-case is this, 'cause if it's big enough, I could actually make a subset of my app which would do just this (allow you to cut which camera is the "active" one) - and I would give this for free.
