Could you build this?
Partial A natural-language editing interface with transcription, captions, and templates can be assembled from APIs and libraries. A competitive video editor with a responsive timeline, efficient rendering, and high-quality output needs hard media-engineering work.
What it would actually take: A real version needs an FFmpeg- or WebCodecs-based media pipeline, a performant timeline engine with frame-accurate scrubbing, and a rendering backend for motion graphics. It also needs speech-to-text and LLM orchestration for edits. Strong media-engineering and front-end performance skills are required.
