Could you build this?

Partial The UI and LLM transcript analysis are easy to vibe code, but real-time computer-vision face tracking, smart 9:16 video reframing, and rendering pipelines require heavy media infrastructure.

What it would actually take: The backend needs a distributed video processing pipeline using FFmpeg, Whisper for word-level timestamps, and computer vision models (such as MediaPipe or YOLO) for active speaker detection and dynamic face-tracking cropping. Rendering animated ASS/karaoke subtitles onto heavy video formats requires significant cloud GPU infrastructure, distributed queue workers (Celery/Temporal), and performance optimization in C++/Python media libraries.
