Could you build this?
Partial A basic desktop wrapper around Whisper is vibe-codeable, but a full-featured offline animated subtitle editor with real-time video preview and GPU-accelerated local transcription/rendering requires specialized client-side media engineering.
What it would actually take: The app requires bundling an optimized local speech-to-text engine (like whisper.cpp with DirectML/CUDA support) in a native framework (such as C++/.NET or Tauri/Electron), managing audio extraction via FFmpeg, and synchronizing a timeline-based animated caption renderer using Direct2D or Skia to burn styled, keyframed subtitles into exported MP4 videos.
