Recently I found a very nice introduction on linear editing for
multi-cam. I finally understood how it should work in Cinelerra GG.
But it is not intuitive, I would like to propose two things that could
make multi-cam editing much more user friendly.

1. As you can see from the video, multi-cam works by clicking on a
Mixer. Completely counter intuitive towards anyone that works with a
switcher (atem and likes) it adds video from the undecided point up to
the current position when clicked on the mixer. This would be a
feature request that I wonder why nobody asked for this: implement
this in the opposite way. You click on a mixer A, then the timeline
gets filled with that mixer (visible, or underwater). If you click on
mixer B, the timeline is computed with the part 0 to timeline current
position with Mixer A, and having Mixer B as start position.
I understand You, Stefan. Other NLE use a different workflow (see Adobe
Premiere, Lightworks). When MultiCamera was born, Cinelerra-GG didn't
have Align Mixer Feature and OpenMixers. You can see an old demo where
You can understand how it works by "hand":

And, I think, once You understand how it works it's not too bad.
