Video editors frequently need small, one-off production tasks that don't fit the core ButterCut workflows of creating libraries, processing footage, building cuts, or backups. This Skill provides a catch-all workflow for those requests while enforcing consistent rules about where output files should be saved.
libraries/<name>/misc/, small standalone files go to dated misc/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<task-name>/ folders, scratch work goes to tmp/, and large finished files go to the user's Desktop or a chosen path.tmp/ without ever modifying core lib/ files, then optionally save the solution as a reusable user skill.Ask the assistant to extract the audio from a clip in your library and save it to your Desktop.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Ask for the audio extraction as a one-off task and the clip's audio will be pulled using the available media tools. Since audio files are large, the output is saved to your Desktop, home folder, or another path you specify rather than inside the repository.
Small library-related files go to libraries/<name>/misc/, small standalone files go to dated misc/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<task-name>/ folders, and scratch work goes to tmp/. Large finished files over roughly 1 MB are saved to your Desktop or a path you choose.
ButterCut does not natively support subtitles or motion graphics in its XML exports for Final Cut, Premiere, or Resolve. It can attempt a best-effort workaround by modifying XML directly with temporary scripts, but success is not guaranteed.
No. Core files in lib/ are treated as read-only because every ButterCut update restores them. Any experimental XML or script work is created in the tmp directory or the library's misc folder instead.
Yes. After a custom task succeeds, you can save the approach as a personal user skill such as user-create-subtitles so the same workflow can be repeated later. Details for doing this are documented in AGENTS.md.
