This is not an easy thing to create from scratch.

You need a frontend that can create frames/images, Html canvas migth be an option. Then you need a backend to handle the submitted frames and convert them to a mp4 or similar. Laravel can handle the backend part and ffmpeg can convert the frames to a mp4.

You might find GSAP useful for creating the animations

You should start by checking out different platforms like animaker.com. Note what you like and dislike about each. This helps in shaping your own tool.

Next, you'll need to choose a programming languagelike JavaScript, Python, Ruby, etc. Pick one that suits your project's needs and your comfort level.

I've been using Movavi for my video editing for a couple of years now. It's super user-friendly, great for beginners, and has all the bells and whistles for more advanced work. It has many features and details you don't find on any other platform, so you should check their website; maybe it will give you some ideas: https://www.movavi.com/learning-portal/best-free-mp4-editors.html.
