-## Features
-
-Blockbuster mod provides you with lots of features to create outstanding machinimas/roleplay series:
-
-* **Actors and player recording** – the most important feature, as you won't be able to create a machinimas without it. With Blockbuster mod you can record yourself doing things and then playback it using an actor. *Recording code has some limitations on which actions it can record*. See [Blockbuster Wiki](https://github.com/mchorse/blockbuster/wiki) for more information about limitations.
-* **Scenes** – scenes allow to record and manage multiple actors in the world. They are stored in separate files (in world's `blockbuster/scenes/` folder). With scenes, you can create templates, transfer to another worlds.
-* **Model block** – besides actors, Blockbuster also adds a *model block*, allowing you placing down custom models or mobs as static props, which allows creating magnificient and immersive scenes. Besides placing them down, you can also hold those models or mobs in your hand.
-* **BB gun item** – a special item which shoots projectiles on right click. This feature provides many different configuration options which can be used to create not only firearm combat scenes, but also special effects like avalanches, fake physics, crowd explosion and much more!
-* **[Aperture](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/aperture) support** – Blockbuster mod has built-in Aperture integration. When Aperture is loaded, Blockbuster mod provides you with some features such as: ability to attach camera profiles to playback button, previewing playback while editing cameras and editing the player recording actions within the camera editor.
-* **Custom models** – recording only player-like entities limits the originality of your machinimas. Blockbuster mod let's you create custom models using in-game model editor. Unleash your creativity with custom models!
-* **OBJ and MagicaVoxel models** – beside custom models which can be created with in-game custom model editor, Blockbuster also supports OBJ models and MagicaVoxel models on top of custom JSON models!
-* **Morphs support** – thanks to [Metamorph](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/metamorph)'s morph API, Blockbuster is capable of using any morphs which Metamorph provides to be used by Blockbuster actors. Including Blockbuster's provided morphs and [Emoticons](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/emoticons)' morphs.
-* **Advanced morphs** – beside registering custom models into morph system, Blockbuster also provides special morphs for advanced machinima creation:
- * **Image morph** – a morph which allows to display an image (on a plane).
- * **Sequencer morph** – a morph that switches between given morphs automatically, depending on delays set between multiple morphs.
- * **Record morph** – a morph that allows to playback a player recording within the morph itself (useful with model block or body part system).
- * **Structure morph** – a morph that allows to morph into a structure saved with structure block.
- * **Particle morph** – a morph which allows to emit vanilla and morph particles.
- * **Snowstorm morph** (sponsored by [Spark Squared](https://spark-squared.com/)) — a morph which allows to create custom particle effects.
-* **Green screen features** – Blockbuster adds glowing green blocks without any shading and an option to turn the sky fully green which makes it easier creating green screens for post processing of your machinimas. Beside that, Blockbuster has keying options which allow to create screenshots and videos with transparency, see [this tutorial](https://youtu.be/OY_USRJofT0).
-* **Animated GIF support** – now you can put reaction and meme GIFs onto Blockbuster models and just as images. Credit goes to [MrCrayfish's furniture mod](https://github.com/MrCrayfish/MrCrayfishFurnitureMod) and [DhyanB](https://github.com/DhyanB/Open-Imaging/blob/master/src/main/java/at/dhyan/open_imaging/GifDecoder.java).
-* **Animations** — with animated poses and image morph animations, you can add animation to your actors and sets.
-* **[Minema](https://github.com/daipenger/minema/releases) compatability** – thanks to frame-based player recording and cameras, you can convert your in-game machinimas to videos with a press of a button.
-* **In-game audio synchronization** – if you have an .wav audio track, you can load it into Blockbuster, which will make actor and camera synchronization so much easier! Everytime you'll record an actor, play the scene or edit the camera, an audio waveform preview will be visible, which will make any kind of timing synchronizations a breeze!
-* **First-person playback** — with new **Target** option of scene's replays, it's possible to make any player to be an actor. This could be useful for creation of reproducible first-person roleplays, or locking the player in a cinematic within adventure map.
-* **Speaks multiple languages** – besides English, Blockbuster is also translated into Russian and Chinese thanks to [Andruxioid](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnHOceBjwMyqCR5oYOoNqhQ) and [ycwei982](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfUDMSGlXUblXimkvNl_7Ww), respectively.
+## For whom is this mod for?
+
+If you're a YouTuber who is looking for a mod to improve overall quality of your (cinematic or improvised) videos, or you're an adventure map creator who wants to add more visuals to your maps, this is a mod for you!
+
+Blockbuster mod provides a ton of features to improve your videos:
+
+* Recording and playback of multiple actors.
+* Post editing of recorded player's actions.
+* Importing, editing, and using models (OBJ and MagicaVoxel) with actors.
+* Using models as static decorations with model blocks.
+* Using models as guns and projectiles with BB gun item.
+* [Camera](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/aperture) and audio synchronization with actors.
+* Keying tools (chroma blocks, keying solutions with [Minema](https://github.com/daipenger/minema/releases) mod).
+* Simple animation model mechanims.
+* And much more...
