While the viewing methods described at
www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/multi-camera2.htm
do not permit simultaneous previewing of all
tracks, the layout (film-strip, with large
"frames") allows seeing what is in each
track - and the cut-and-scroll method does
allow you to see, full-resolution, each track
part at a given time in turn...
