What is it?

This project is a skill for AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Trae that automates editing in the desktop version of JianYing Pro, the Chinese edition of CapCut. A user describes the video they want in plain language, and the agent builds the draft: importing footage, generating voiceover, creating subtitles aligned to speech, adding background music, applying effects and transitions, and writing keyframe animations.

It generates draft projects in the draft_info.json format used by recent JianYing versions, so the result opens directly in the editor. Other features include screen recording with automatic zoom and click markers, converting HTML or Canvas animations into video clips, and commentary video generation from analyzed footage. Automatic MP4 export uses Windows UI automation and works best on JianYing 5.9 or earlier; on macOS, export must be done by hand.

Draft generation is supported on Windows and macOS. The project does not support the international CapCut edition or the mobile app.
