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.
