No Developing a non-linear desktop video editor that reverse engineers CapCut's proprietary project file formats and timeline behavior requires deep low-level media engineering and desktop application architecture.
What it would actually take: Requires native desktop technologies (C++/Rust, Qt, or Electron with native bindings) integrated with FFmpeg or custom GPU rendering pipelines (Metal/DirectX/Vulkan) for real-time video playback and compositing. Deep reverse engineering of CapCut's undocumented JSON/binary timeline schema and state machines is mandatory.
