What it needs to run
GaugeReel is light. Exporting an image sequence needs nothing extra; video export leans on ffmpeg.

A note on ffmpeg
Exporting to a MOV, WebM or MP4 file uses ffmpeg. GaugeReel uses the bundled copy if one is present, otherwise it falls back to an ffmpeg on your PATH. Exporting a transparent PNG image sequence needs nothing extra — it works out of the box.
