Could you build this?

No Building a browser-based timeline video editor capable of handling terabytes of footage via AI requires extreme systems performance, custom video rendering engines, and low-level codecs.

What it would actually take: Requires a custom high-performance non-linear video editing engine built with WebAssembly, WebCodecs, and WebGPU for client-side rendering and proxy generation. Handling terabytes of raw camera footage requires massive distributed cloud transcoder pipelines (FFmpeg / custom C++ workers), frame-accurate video multimodal indexing (vision embeddings over second-by-second keyframes), and complex serverless render-graph execution.
