Could you build this?

Partial The Kotlin UI and timeline interface are vibe-codeable, but a real-time video engine for decoding, compositing, and exporting in Rust is a hard piece that AI alone won't produce.

What it would actually take: The stack would be Kotlin with Jetpack Compose on Android, backed by a Rust core using FFmpeg or a native codec layer, plus GPU compositing via Vulkan or OpenGL ES. The hard parts are frame-accurate timeline rendering, hardware-accelerated codecs on mobile, and memory management for large media. That requires multimedia and graphics engineering expertise.
