yes, it can be done, for sure. It isn't even *really* difficult :-D Rather just a little bit involved. Please excuse when I'm chiming in here. In the Lumiera project we're working against those kind of targets now since several years. We started exactly the same way as you do now: starting with what Cinelerra can, conceptually, and then dreaming how it should be extended and combined in order to be really useful and more exciting.... The surprising thing is: it isn't really difficult, technically. Yet there seems to be something we're running against, almost like a sonic wall: The most shocking absence of people able and willing (or willing and able) to work towards any even quite simplistic goal for more than just a single afternoon. We've seen lots and lots and lots of excited people, and heard and collected lots and lots and lots of good proposals. But seemingly 99.9999999% of them seem to flounder at the first tiny little bumps on the road, like combining two slightly contradictory pieces of example code into something that passes the compiler and works. Of course, we can't really complain, because OpenSource is voluntary.

Interesting question closely related: how can we control those multiple viewer windows with the keyboard? Most existing user interfaces seem to assume a hard wired number of viewers (namely two) and a hard wired number of video and audio channels and then just assign some keyboard shortcuts. Any Ideas how we could handle more player/viewer windows than three are good keyboard shortcuts available? (relate that to Cinelerra: those 9 keys on the numpad are really great for controlling a single player) > Maybe the first target could be: - create a player that gives a visual > preview (in a lower resolution) of all video-tracks > Next target: - Allow audio tracks to be (hard) attached to videotracks shouldn't that rather work on the base of individual clips? since clips or groups of clips are the building blocks we're using most frequently when editing?
