💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with ariel-mermaid
Create a Python-based mini-application that allows users to input Mermaid diagram code and automatically generates animated videos from these diagrams using the 'ariel-mermaid' package. The application should include a simple GUI where users can paste their Mermaid diagram code and select options such as animation speed, color themes, and output video format. Upon clicking a 'Generate Video' button, the application should use 'ariel-mermaid' to convert the provided Mermaid diagram into an animated video and save it locally or allow downloading. Additionally, implement a feature to preview the final video before saving it. Ensure the application handles errors gracefully, such as invalid Mermaid code, and provides useful feedback to the user.
