Could you build this?
Partial While basic video capture and transcription wrappers are straightforward, creating a polished native macOS video editor with smooth click-based auto-zooming, multi-track audio sync, and 4K GPU-accelerated video rendering requires deep native media pipeline expertise.
What it would actually take: A production implementation requires Swift/Objective-C leveraging macOS ScreenCaptureKit and AVFoundation for synchronized multi-track capture of screen, camera, and system audio. The core difficulty lies in tracking system-wide user inputs via CGEvent taps to calculate fluid cinematic camera kinematics and rendering/exporting high-framerate 4K video using Metal shaders and the VideoToolbox hardware media engine. A solo builder would need deep graphics programming and macOS systems engineering knowledge.
