Could you build this?
Partial Creating a chat interface that triggers basic FFmpeg scripts is doable, but building reliable multimodal reference-video style matching, custom motion graphics synthesis, and stateful video timeline editing via LLM requires complex custom video rendering engines and fine-tuned models.
What it would actually take: A full version requires a web-based timeline engine (e.g., WebAssembly/WebGL rendering via Remotion or custom C++ canvas engine) paired with an orchestration backend. The hard part is bidirectional synchronization between generative LLM commands, non-linear video editing data structures, and computer vision models for reference style extraction (color grading, pacing, transition analysis). It requires video engineering and specialized computer vision/multimodal ML pipeline expertise.
