I just learned today that final cut pro can be used as a live mixer/switch using the multicam tool. Has anybody tried it? If so, what is the difference between fcp and using a real mixer? I am working on helping to start a business on video/photography and with some money problems, we are looking to just use FCP as a mixer. What hardware requirements are necessary to do so besides 4-5 open firewire ports to connect the cameras.

as far as i know, the clips already have to be captured to the computer before they can be bundled together into a multiclip. at that point, you can play the multiclip and switch between the streams in real time. Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but I don't think you can use video sources in a multiclip.

Yes, that would be awesome. I've pretty much abdoned my Video Toaster system and am investing in my Mac. Not that I do a whole lot of live work, but it would be great to have FCP handle what my toaster did.
