Could you build this?
Partial On-device transcription with Whisper and XML generation are feasible, but producing valid Final Cut Pro XML and building a native Apple Silicon macOS app require specialized knowledge of Apple's media formats and frameworks.
What it would actually take: Use Swift and AVFoundation with a local Whisper model (such as whisper.cpp or WhisperKit) for word-level timestamps, then generate FCPXML with exact clip in and out points. The hard parts are correct FCPXML structure that imports cleanly and precise timing alignment, which benefits from experience with NLEs and macOS development.
