Could you build this?
Partial A web UI for video cutting is vibe-codeable, but implementing a smooth, client-side non-linear video editing engine in Rust and WebAssembly requires complex low-level multimedia handling.
What it would actually take: The architecture relies on Rust compiled to WASM alongside WebCodecs or an Emscripten-compiled FFmpeg build, Web Audio API, and WebGPU for compositing. Hard challenges include precise frame-accurate timeline seeking, memory management within browser constraints, and real-time audio-video synchronization during playback. This demands solid systems programming and media codec expertise.
