Could you build this?

Partial A basic visual timeline editor with cuts and transitions is vibe-codeable, but a competitive editor needs high-performance decoding, rendering, and codec handling that is hard to build alone.

What it would actually take: The stack would combine a timeline UI with ffmpeg or native media frameworks for decoding, effects, and export. Scene detection and smooth real-time preview need GPU and codec optimization, and building a polished product requires graphics and multimedia engineering expertise.
