Vibecoding beats general-purpose software: dev builds his own timelapse video editor
mishig25 · x · 2026-11-15
Developer cetiennec shared that he vibecoded a dedicated timelapse editing tool — a personal "iMovie for timelapse". The screenshot shows a dual-camera timeline editor with metadata-based clip alignment, A/B camera sync, automatic cutting of still segments (with adjustable sensitivity), multiple PiP/side-by-side layouts, and the ability to compress 5 hours of footage into an 11-minute output.
His takeaway: we've reached the point where it's faster to vibecode an entire dedicated tool than to wrestle with an established but general-purpose one — a vivid example of AI coding reshaping personal software.
