The ability to solo/unsolo a video track, preferably with an assignable shortcut, in the same fashion as for audio track soloing.

The ability to solo video tracks much like we can with audio tracks would be immeasurable useful, particularly for auditioning different takes/shots that are stacked on different tracks.

Solo button for video tracks should exist, it's still not implemented in 2023 version 23.0.0. This may be better and more userfriendly for managing multicam tracks selection. On my version, the way I am using is:
- shift-click on one video track eye icon, which disable all video tracks
- click on the required video track eye icon
Magic trick ! Only one video track is enable.

As a music video editor, and editor of music registrations with multiple camera's this would be so useful. I actually can't believed it still isn't implemented after all these years.

Yeah this would be a huge deal for music video editing when you often have like 20 video tracks at once.

Greetings Fellow editors,

I developed new extension: EXCALIBUR. It has "Solo Tracks" command. It will toggle track output for video and mute/unmute audio tracks.
And you can assign shortcut to this command.

But it does much more than that, learn more here:
