- The export equals the preview
- Seekable MP4/WebM output
- Beat-sync locked end to end

The v1.7.0 "real models everywhere" shift explained: what a real model (a segmentation network for background removal, a super-resolution model for upscaling) actually buys you over a classical baseline like a bicubic resize, why the fallback still has a job, how the app decides which to run, and why telling you which one ran is the whole point of "honest everywhere".
- Real models where hardware allows
- Honest classical fallback elsewhere
- It tells you which one ran
