Could you build this?

No A GPU-accelerated 8K multitrack NLE with lossless RGB16 masters, DPX/EXR output and a color pipeline is a large, performance-critical media engine. Vibe coding alone won't produce correct codecs, color science or real-time playback.

What it would actually take: This would need a C++ or Rust media core built on FFmpeg/libav for decode and encode, with a GPU compositing and color engine (CUDA or Metal, OpenColorIO-style color management) and an optimized timeline renderer with caching. Engineers with video-codec, color-science and GPU-performance experience are required to verify frame accuracy and handle 8K throughput. The UI is the easy part; the engine is the hard part.
