Have you ever watched an interview on TV and wondered how much of the real interview you are actually viewing?

This app helps prevent TV networks from editing/clipping/re-ordering interviews. Some networks will modify videos in post-production to push an agenda or change a narrative.

* How does it work?
An interviewee places a phone in frame, with the ClipGuard app running. The app displays:

1. A timer that counts up (every 1s). This exposes editing and re-ordering.
2. A bar chart with data points (at said interval) created by a Pseudorandom number generator (PRNG). These data points make it harder for post-production replication of app AND give authentication to the sequence after the video airs.

Once you hit the Stop button, a QR code will be generated (but not shown). Share it someplace safe (like your email).

**After airing**, interviewee shares a QR code. This QR code can be scanned by viewers in the ClipGuard app to reproduce exactly the same sequence, at the same time, as when the interview occurred.
