Partial A basic Kotlin UI wired to a Rust core is vibe-codeable, but a usable mobile video editor depends on a performant media pipeline (decoding, encoding, timeline rendering) that needs real multimedia expertise.
What it would actually take: The stack would be Kotlin/Jetpack Compose for the UI, with Rust compiled via NDK and JNI for the editing engine. The hard parts are hardware-accelerated decode/encode (MediaCodec, FFmpeg integration), frame-accurate timeline scrubbing, and GPU-based compositing with low latency and memory limits. Building this well requires experience with video codecs, native Android graphics, and performance profiling.
