Limits and things to check
- Skill instructions are in Chinese.
- No voice or speaker; narration is a separate project.
- Defaults to a fast, beat-cut marketing register.
- Its delivery steps open a browser and ask to credit the author and submit the film to its showcase.
- Several bundled sound effects have no traced licence.
- Run nothing posted in its issue tracker: issue 66 hides a command that sends a machine's environment variables to an outside server.
Builds on Remotion and adds the shot library, a 2.5D camera over real screenshots, 149 sound effects, a review step and a browser editor.
