Could you build this?
Partial The Qt 6 UI, project model, and timeline editing are vibe-codeable, but a fast, GPU-accelerated editor needs real-time decode/playback pipelines, frame-accurate seeking, and GPU compositing that a vibe-coding session alone won't reliably produce.
What it would actually take: Build on Qt 6 (QML or Widgets) with FFmpeg (libavcodec/libavformat) for decode and encode, and a Vulkan or OpenGL compositor for effects and preview. The hard parts are a low-latency playback engine with frame-accurate scrubbing, a GPU render graph, and cache and threading design. That requires systems and multimedia engineering experience, plus extensive testing across codecs and hardware.
