I was under the impression you were referring to switching PLAYBACK from
multiple source files, not from multiple running cameras. Kdenlive can take
input from one camera, no idea if it can do multiple cameras, as I've only
used that feature for a webcam. I don't own pro cameras, only the $300
I didn't know LiVES could do anything like that, as it has to "import" all
video files before use. Kdenlive (in repo, and which I use for making activist

import anything. Playing back a timeline in Kdenlive essentially

my original Lucid/Pentium III experiments in 2010, Pulseaudio would use 15% of

All these bugs and "no sound output" complaints with Pulseaudio bring back the
idea of finding a way to make Jack replace Pulseaudio altogether. Removing

Audacity works fine with jack, tested it this way a few days ago (I normally
