Could you build this?
Partial The client-side UI and timeline controls are manageable, but high-performance client-side video composition, smooth cursor tracking/smoothing, auto-zoom transforms, and WebCodecs/FFmpeg encoding in-browser are technically demanding.
What it would actually take: The application relies on WebCodecs API or WebAssembly-compiled FFmpeg to process video streams frame-by-frame on the client. It requires high-precision screen recording via `navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia`, paired with synthetic cursor tracking, an offscreen canvas rendering pipeline to apply smooth spring-physics zoom animations, webcam compositing, and hardware-accelerated video re-encoding (H.264/WebM) without exhausting browser memory. Building this requires deep expertise in browser graphics rendering (WebGL/Canvas), WebCodecs, and audio/video synchronization.
