Could you build this?
Partial While the UI, annotation canvas, and screenshot capture can be vibe-coded, implementing native high-performance screen recording at 60 fps alongside in-memory multi-format encoding (AVIF, WebP, WebM) requires lower-level multimedia engineering.
What it would actually take: A native utility like this relies on Swift/macOS APIs (ScreenCaptureKit) or Windows Graphics Capture, paired with FFmpeg bindings or native hardware-accelerated encoders (VideoToolbox / Media Foundation) to capture 60 fps desktop video with minimal CPU overhead. Managing color spaces, lossless downsampling, and low-latency encoding pipelines requires systems-level desktop media programming expertise.
