Could you build this?
No A local-first non-linear video editor with a multi-track interactive timeline and frame-accurate playback/rendering requires complex media engine architectures (WebCodecs/FFmpeg/Wasm or native C++) far beyond vibe coding.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a desktop or heavy web client (Tauri/Electron + Rust/C++ or WebCodecs/Canvas/Wasm) implementing an accurate playback clock, audio/video demuxing, hardware-accelerated video decoding, multi-track compositing shaders, and frame caching. The hard parts are timeline synchronization, non-linear composition graphs, zero-copy video frame rendering, and deterministic offline rendering pipelines.
