An elegant, automated macOS background utility that bridges the gap between video approval and final multi-format delivery. It watches your render pipeline, formats your videos for social (4x5 crop), and deploys them to Dropbox with a single click.

## ✨ Features
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **Background Watcher:** Sits silently in your macOS Menu Bar, monitoring your designated render directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **Approval Queue:** Detects newly rendered videos and holds them as pending jobs until you give the green light.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **Auto-Format (4x5):** Upon approval, the app automatically duplicates, crops, and renders the video into a social-ready 4x5 aspect ratio.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **Instant Dropbox Deployment:** Moves the finalized assets to your shared Dropbox folder automatically.
