While I think I can't even start on implementing those ideas I have
question: did you tried to use 'split timeline' feature, so each cam put on
same teack but at wildly different time and you have 2-4 zones for working
on each one? (mostly by cutting things to another track?) Or I completely
misuderstand how split timeline works in cin ...

but how you will tell users there is like 1, min of content, and there is
5m? By some markets? Should those 'edits' expand individually when needed?

how you think should work,  is there something like cameraID or you need to
associate some user-know metadata key to specific camera, so you can say
send all medias with this metadata to specific track or media bin?

interesting idea, does any libre NLE currently have such functionality?

Like 'move this segment few frames left/right' as context  menu option?

I'll try to look into it a bit more, but no promices (cmx3600 only had few
audio tracks, but may be there were unofficial extensions ...)
