Could you build this?

Partial The editor UI and AI clipping workflow are vibe-codeable, but reliable video processing at scale and TikTok/Instagram posting depend on platform API access and approval.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a video pipeline (FFmpeg on queued workers or cloud transcoding), an LLM-based segment-selection and captioning step, and a web editor. Posting requires official TikTok and Meta Graph API integrations, which means app review and compliance with platform rules. The hard parts are scalable media processing and maintaining social platform integrations.
