Could you build this?
No This is a desktop installer for HitFilm, a professional video editing and VFX suite. The product's value is in real-time compositing, codecs, and GPU effects engineering, not in the installer, and it is distributed as a packaged copy of commercial software.
What it would actually take: Replicating HitFilm requires a non-linear editing engine, hardware-accelerated decoding and encoding for many codecs, a GPU compositing pipeline, and VFX tools. That is a multi-year team effort in C++ and graphics programming. A legitimate route would be to use the vendor's software.
