This sounds like fun - I'm actually doing similar work (music for church
services) since the pandemic hit and Ubuntu Studio has been the right
tool for me.

Though I'm not 100% what you mean by "windowing of video streams as the
audio content changes" - Kdenlive may actually do what you are looking for.
It can handle all sorts of compositing/effects like other nonlinear editors.

I've looked into using Cinelerra-GG myself but haven't tried it yet. Glad
to hear you could get it compiled though.

I'm not sure about Cinelerra but mixing several audio tracks in a video
editor can be tedious and ineffective. I do all my audio mastering in
Ardour and drop the final stereo file into a single audio track in Kdenlive.

Cheers, and good luck on the project(s)!
