What about putting Camera 1 on Track A, Camera 2 on Track S1 - then
when you want to preview Camera 1, either hold the shift key and draw
the S1 rubber band to zero, or move the S1 clip temporarily up to
Track B... Works for two camera cut-together, but for three cameras
I guess one could put the three clips on three S tracks, shift-key
the rubber bands to see each clip, and then assemble the video on
Track A. Awkward, but...;-)
