Could you build this?
Partial The editor UI and features like timed webcam layouts can be vibe-coded, but a real screen recorder needs native capture APIs on macOS and Windows and real-time GPU-accelerated zoom rendering.
What it would actually take: The build would use ScreenCaptureKit or AVFoundation on macOS, Windows Graphics Capture or DXGI on Windows, and a hardware-accelerated video pipeline for real-time zoom and compositing. Performance, A/V sync and codec handling are difficult and need systems-level and media-engineering experience. Shipping signed, reliable installers on both platforms adds further work.
