Then it's just a matter of aligning the clicks on the several video sources in whatever video editing software is used (I'm currently using Lightworks). It's the "somehow" that has me stumped at this point. So... is there a way to have the monitors on for only the first few bars AND still be able to monitor with headphones? Am I even on the right track here (no pun intended) ??
How do you do it?
I'm using a Focusrite 2nd Gen Scarlett 6i6 for audio interface to my Alienware Alpha PC running Windoze 10.

Hm? Why don't you use Reaper to make the whole video? Reaper allows to cut and arrange video clips the same way like audio files. I do it all the time. Mostly I use video clips or whole movie sequences and write a fitting score to it. As long as your videos don't have dancing scenes which have to be right in sync you can just arrange, cut and even fade ... or whatever you need. Watch these for a good start:

If you are new in Reaper don't give up because of its a bit to much possibilities for a beginner. But in the end you will love your copy of Reaper because it will just fit your personality more than every other software.
