live editing in fcp

I am investigating ways to "live-edit". I want to make a database filled with video images and during a performance adjust the images (only in and out points) and edit the video live. I'm aware that programs like Resolume and Arkaos GrandVJ exist, but I want the program to allow me to make my own folder-infrastructure (like in the browser in Final Cut) and be able to preview and adjust video files before adding them to my output signal.

Actually Final Cut pro would be the perfect program, but there is one problem: The video in the canvas stops whenever you click on anything in the bin.

NOW! My question is whether there is a way to let the canvas continue playing while I'm searching for a new clip, AND after having found my new clip, being able to add it to the timeline without hereby stopping the video in the canvas. If this turns out to be impossible, would any of you have an idea of another program that would allow such advanced ways of live-editing?

I hope that my question is clear enough. Thanks for sticking with me so far already!

Nope- you should stick with the VJ apps out there. Much more suited to this than FCP ever would be. Also some interesting iPad apps as well to look into...
 
Thanks for the replies guys. What kind of VJ apps would you suggest? My problem with VJ software is that they are mostly made to work with short film clips (they can work with longer clips but it's not practical). I want to work with clips that can run up to half an hour, and I want to be able to adjust the in and out points (in a clear way, not as with GrandVJ) before outputting the video.
