Could you build this?
Partial A desktop GUI wrapper using Electron or Tauri is straightforward, but local multi-modal standout detection, automated face-tracking/reframing, and speech-aligned caption generation require fine-tuned local ML models and optimized FFmpeg pipelines.
What it would actually take: A real local app requires Tauri/Electron bundling FFmpeg, local Whisper (e.g., whisper.cpp) for transcription, and computer vision models (like YOLO or MediaPipe) for speaker tracking and vertical video auto-reframing. Implementing fast, low-resource inference and reliable video encoding across diverse hardware GPUs/drivers is the core engineering challenge.
