SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually driving the Jianying/CapCut desktop app for repetitive editing tasks—importing footage, placing clips on the timeline, adding subtitles, and exporting—is slow and error-prone, especially when combined with an AI-assisted rough-cut workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • UI Automation of Jianying: Uses Computer Use against the com.lemon.lvpro app to import media, add clips to the main timeline, adjust picture/crop/scale, and export.
  • Rough-Cut Handoff: Imports MP4 files already rough-cut by an ASR-based auto-editing skill, then handles visual and audio refinement, subtitles, titles, stickers, and music.
  • Project Logging: Appends structured timestamped log entries (Action, Details, Decision, Next) after each key operation so projects can be resumed and reviewed.
  • Use Case: After generating an approved rough-cut MP4 from a talking-head video, ask the assistant to import it into Jianying, place it on the timeline, correct subtitles, and export the final cut while logging every step.

Quick Start

Import my rough-cut video final-cut.mp4 into Jianying, add it to the timeline, fix the subtitles, export it, and log each step in the project log.

Frequently Asked Questions about yichen-jianying-editor

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Jianying/CapCut desktop editing with an AI assistant?▼

Use Computer Use to drive the Jianying app (bundle id com.lemon.lvpro): fetch the app state before each click, import media via the import button, add clips by clicking the thumbnail corner, then adjust, caption, and export through the UI.

How to import video files with Chinese filenames into Jianying on macOS?▼

The macOS file picker can struggle with Chinese paths, so copy the footage to an English-named working file in the project workspace and import that copy. Original source files are left untouched unless the user explicitly requests changes.

Can this skill do automatic rough cuts from transcripts?▼

No. ASR transcription, delete_segments.json generation, and file-level auto rough-cutting are explicitly out of scope. Those steps belong to a separate Volcengine ASR auto-editing skill; this skill only refines the approved rough-cut MP4 inside Jianying.

Why does clicking a media thumbnail in Jianying only preview the clip?▼

Clicking the thumbnail body triggers preview playback rather than adding the clip. Pause any accidental playback, then click the add-to-track area near the thumbnail corner until a clip bar appears on the main timeline.

What editing tasks can be done inside Jianying with this workflow?▼

It covers importing raw or rough-cut MP4s, timeline placement, picture adjustments, cropping, scaling, cover frames, subtitles, titles, stickers, sound effects, music, manual trims, and exporting, with optional per-action project logging.
