Partial The timeline UI and project model are vibe-codeable, but a performant, GPU-accelerated editor with codec support across three platforms needs low-level graphics and multimedia expertise.
What it would actually take: The UI can be built in a framework like Qt or Electron with a Rust or C++ core. The hard parts are a frame-accurate timeline renderer, hardware-accelerated decode and encode (FFmpeg, NVENC, VideoToolbox), and GPU effect pipelines. Building these well takes experienced multimedia and graphics engineers and extensive cross-platform testing.
