Could you build this?
No Developing a virtual filesystem that mounts like a local network drive (NAS) and streams high-bitrate multi-gigabyte video files in real-time to NLEs like Premiere requires low-level kernel/filesystem engineering and global edge caching.
What it would actually take: The core product requires building virtual filesystem drivers (FUSE on Linux/macOS, Dokany/Cloud Filter API on Windows) capable of chunk-based byte-range streaming, speculative prefetching, and local block-level caching so non-linear video editors don't freeze on timeline scrubbing. The backend requires a distributed object storage architecture with edge cache nodes, real-time metadata synchronization, and chunk-level deduplication. Developing this necessitates kernel-level systems programmers, high-performance C++/Rust engineers, and distributed storage architects.
