I guess we’d also have to ask what codecs you’re working with and what sort of computer you’re editing on now. My 2013 Mac Pro has no problem with three or four streams of colour corrected 4k video (h.264, ProRes HQ/422 and Blackmagic Raw). Smooth playback that starts when I press play and I rarely have to render. My Apple Silicon Mac Mini is ev…

Just finished a massive project on my 2013 Mac Pro with 100 videos rendered as ProRes and h264 and they play back perfectly on my Apple Silicon Mac Mini. What codec are you rendering to on your Intel Mac?

Keyboard Maestro can be used to automate repetitive key presses so you could set up a hot key to send the key presses to jump forward 15 seconds, make a multicam cut and have it repeat as many times as you like. I last used it for doing pretty much what you described, just A/B switching a really long clip every few seconds. I set the macro to… Read more

Those are more questions for your DoP than an editor.
As a cinematographer though, I would usually say that frame rate is only a very small part of things looking ‘cinematic’ and to shoot at the base frame rate for your deliverable. No point shooting at 24fps if you’re aiming for broadcast 30fps or shooting green screen, etc.
