Read the full description

movieedit is a free AI video editor that runs entirely on your own Windows PC. Nothing is uploaded to the cloud: transcription, translation and speech synthesis all run locally. Remove silences automatically or edit by deleting lines from the transcript, turn long videos into 9:16 shorts with face tracking and subtitles, dub into other languages while keeping the background music, and restore old footage with AI upscaling. No GPU required, and no per-use fees.

Could you build this?

Partial The UI and glue scripts are vibe-codeable, but packaging local, CPU-optimized AI models (Whisper.cpp, local translation models, TTS, and computer vision face tracking) into a smooth Windows desktop app without GPU dependency is technically demanding.

What it would actually take: The app needs an Electron or C++/C# desktop shell orchestrating heavily optimized native binaries (FFmpeg for video manipulation, Whisper.cpp quantized for CPU execution, MediaPipe or YOLO for real-time face tracking, and lightweight neural TTS like Piper). The hard technical challenge is achieving acceptable CPU-only rendering performance, synchronizing audio transcripts precisely with video cuts, and handling seamless frame cropping (face-tracking to 9:16) without memory bloat or thermal throttling.
