Could you build this?
Partial A transcript-driven editor, caption generation, and clip export can be built with speech-to-text and LLM APIs plus a web timeline UI. Frame-accurate video cutting, rendering, and reliable AI rough cuts are harder to get right.
What it would actually take: The stack would combine a web frontend with a timeline component, speech-to-text APIs (Whisper or a hosted equivalent) that produce word-level timestamps, and an LLM for rough-cut planning. The hard parts are frame-accurate rendering and transcoding through FFmpeg at scale, plus a robust media pipeline, which requires video engineering experience.
