Could you build this?
Partial The desktop UI and orchestration can be vibe-coded, but active speaker tracking, smart framing, and smooth GPU-accelerated video rendering require advanced multimedia and computer vision engineering.
What it would actually take: The architecture typically uses Electron or Tauri with Python/C++ backends, integrating Whisper/Parakeet for transcription, MediaPipe or YOLO for facial tracking, active speaker audio-visual alignment, and FFmpeg with NVENC/hardware acceleration for crop and reframe pipelines.
