ShowtimeCuts was originally comprised of four separate modules, but after reviewing his App Framework tutorial, I was able to consolidate everything into one shortcut while creating the flexibility to add more features. I highly recommend it. I plan to fix any existing bugs as well as add additional features. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please let me know.
