Could you build this?

Partial Film-look filters and frames are vibe-codeable with image-processing libraries. Editing a Live Photo while keeping motion and sound intact requires native iOS PhotoKit and paired-video handling that is harder to get right.

What it would actually take: The stack is a native Swift app using PhotoKit, AVFoundation, and Core Image or Metal for film LUTs and grain. The hard part is rewriting the paired HEIC and MOV components so the Live Photo stays valid and the audio stays in sync. That needs iOS media-pipeline experience and device testing.
