I was going down that road a while back. (I never solved my problem and
still need to continue...) I came across snowmix:

http://createdigitalmotion.com/2012/10/an-open-source-video-mixer-inspired-by-diy-space-exploration/
http://www.thepowerbase.com/2012/10/copenhagen-suborbitals-release-snowmix-an-open-source-video-mixer/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/snowmix/

I never could get it to behave as I needed but I did not have a lot of time
to spend fooling around and had to drop it.

If you get anywhere with this, please ping me in your post.
