Partial The timeline, menus and export flow are vibe-codeable, but a smooth multi-track iPhone editor depends on real-time GPU compositing, low-latency AVFoundation decoding and memory management, which a non-specialist will struggle to get right.
What it would actually take: Build a native Swift/SwiftUI app on AVFoundation and Metal, with a custom compositing engine for layers, keyframes and effects, and background export. The hard parts are real-time playback performance on constrained hardware and memory-efficient rendering of high-resolution video. This needs iOS media-engineering expertise and extensive device testing, not just prompting.
