1. API and services:

   • The app can run without the following API and services:

     • Pixabay API: The fallback assets will be used
     • Google Client & Services: Google Drive, Youtube Analytics, TTS etc. wont work.

   • However, the Gemini API Key should be present as it is required for core functionality.

   • Make sure that the ffmpeg is installed.
     • For windows run the npm run download command
     • For linux use the sudo apt install ffmpeg
