Every finished video is checked before you see it: text cut off or too small on a phone, text held too briefly to read, black or frozen frames, loudness, and a review round by a reviewer that did not build it. You get an MP4, a single-file HTML video and platform-ready exports, plus a receipt of what the video took. Everything runs on your computer with open models and tools installed once by `showtime setup`; nothing is uploaded and there are no cloud AI services or API keys of its own. MIT licensed.",
