Hello and welcome to the forums   O0

This is already possible, no new feature needed.

Just save your m3a file and transfer it to each computer you wish to use.  Then set an individual "Start" index for each one.  Just be careful with Quadratic Camera paths - they may be slightly out of sync if the keyframes are not set up properly.

Be sure to tell the others to stop at the point the rest start or you'll have overlap - easily corrected in compilation, but if set up properly you should get several image sequences you can just append to each other when making the video from the frames.

Hope that helps.
