Could you build this?
Partial Upload, transcoding, and caption editing are vibe-codeable with ffmpeg and a transcription API, but good hook selection and smart 9:16 face-tracking framing need real computer-vision and ranking work.
What it would actually take: A real version would chain a large-file upload pipeline and ffmpeg workers with a speech-to-text model (e.g., Whisper) for word-timed captions. Clip selection and hooks would need an LLM or a scoring model over transcript and audio energy, and vertical framing would need face or subject detection with smooth camera tracking. The hard parts are the computer-vision framing and tuning the clip-ranking quality, which take ML experience and iteration on real footage.
