Run the job and distinguish local FFmpeg work from text requests sent to the selected AI provider

Offline narration processes your text on your computer. When you choose online transcription, the required audio is sent to OpenAI; online translation sends the relevant text. Choosing HeyGen sends the selected video to that service. RabbitSubtitle’s website does not receive those source files.
