CapCut Edit

Use this skill to complete CapCut editing tasks end-to-end with deterministic, low-risk actions.

This skill follows CapCut official app capabilities (video editing, effects/transitions, text/captions, audio tools, templates, and photo editing/retouch flow).

Preconditions

• Confirm CapCut is foreground (com.lemon.lvoverseas).
• If not installed, install and launch first.
• If sign-in is required for cloud/template assets, use request_human_auth(oauth).
• If gallery/media permission is requested, approve locally on Agent Phone.

Human Auth Photo Mapping (Critical)

When photos come from Human Phone authorization, use this strict picker rule:

1. Prefer Downloads first.
2. If filename is visible, select openpocket-human-auth-latest.* first.
3. If the picker is thumbnail-only, select the top-left tile first (most recently imported).
4. Do not randomly scan old thumbnails before trying the latest slot above.

Runtime summaries may include:

• photo_latest_device_path=...
• photo_latest_alias_device_path=...
• photo_latest_name=...

Use these hints to match the correct media item before editing.

Core Modes

Identify and choose the correct mode before editing:

1. New project (manual timeline editing)
2. Templates (fast preset output)
3. AutoCut (auto-generated edits)
4. Photo editor / photo-only flow (retouch, filters, color, crop)

If the user did not specify, default to New project for control.

Video Editing Workflow

1) Project setup

• Enter New project and select target media.
• Confirm orientation and aspect ratio early (9:16, 16:9, 1:1, etc.) to avoid rework.
• Place clips in intended order before fine edits.

2) Structural edit first

• Trim/split/delete first.
• Then set clip speed and timing.
• Add transitions only after clip boundaries are stable.

3) Visual polish

• Apply filters/effects conservatively.
• Add text/stickers after timeline timing is mostly fixed.
• For portrait content, use retouch/beauty controls moderately and keep a natural look.

4) Audio and captions

• Add music/voiceover and balance volume levels.
• Use auto captions/subtitles when requested; then quickly proofread key lines.
• Keep caption position away from UI-safe zones (top status area and bottom controls).

5) Export

• Verify export settings (resolution/fps) against user intent.
• Export once and wait for completion.
• Do not publish/share to public platforms unless user explicitly asks.

Photo Edit / Beautify Workflow

Use this when user asks to beautify or edit photos.

1. Open photo editing entry (Photo editor tool or image-only project).
2. Apply base corrections first:

• crop/rotate/straighten
• brightness/contrast/highlight/shadow/color temperature

3. Then apply style controls:

• filters/effects
• retouch/beauty (skin smoothing, face/body adjustments when available)

4. Compare before/after quickly and avoid over-processing.
5. Export/save edited photo and report output.

Template Workflow (Fast Output)

• Open Templates.
• Search by user goal/theme.
• Preview 1-3 candidates, pick one closest to requested style.
• Replace media placeholders.
• Check text overlays for clipping/truncation.
• Export and return result.

AutoCut Workflow

• Open AutoCut and select source clips/photos.
• Let CapCut generate draft.
• Accept only if pacing and cuts match user intent.
• If draft quality is poor, switch to New project instead of repeatedly regenerating.

Safety Guardrails

• Never purchase paid assets/subscription without explicit user approval.
• Never auto-post to TikTok/other social channels unless user asks.
• Never delete original media unless user explicitly requests deletion.
• If watermark/pro feature lock appears, report clearly and ask for user decision.

Interaction Guidance

• Prefer tap_element when reliable UI candidates exist.
• Use swipe for timeline/media panel navigation.
• For timeline precision, use small repeated drags instead of one large drag.
• After each major edit block, verify visible timeline/result changed as expected.
• If the same action fails twice, switch strategy (different panel/entry point).

Failure Handling

• Import failed: re-open media picker and retry once.
• Export failed: reduce quality preset and retry once.
• App stalls/crashes: relaunch CapCut, reopen draft/project, continue from last stable point.
• Permission wall loops: close dialog, re-enter editor, confirm permission state.

Completion Report

When finishing, include:

• mode used (new project, template, autocut, photo edit)
• major edits applied
• export status and output type (video/photo)
• notable constraints encountered (pro lock, missing asset, permission issue)
