What you are referring to is video switching, not real-time video editing.  It can be done with live video or with streaming video and there are both hardware and software solutions.

You mean you want to make a live performance with combining videos chosen/switched in real time in response to events? Perhaps with a live camera feed and streaming the result to the web? Adobe has no tools for this market. A popular and powerful tool for this is OBS Studio. It works well.

OBS  is used to display the videos what i meant is i need to edit the video before i display it, to edit it using algorithm, like lets say i want to add a slow motion effect to a video using one of adobe tools.

Check out VJ software, which may provide the live interaction you are looking for. It used to be a side interest of mine, but I've lost touch lately. I was fond of Arkaos and was even thinking of purchasing it. You can see a list of these tools from a search I just did: https://limeartgroup.com/the-mega-list-of-vj-software-and-tools/

 

Have a look and let me know what you think.

 

Thanks,
