Question 1

What is cutcli?

Accepted Answer

cutcli is a single-binary command-line tool that turns shell commands or JSON into a standard CapCut / Jianying (剪映) draft folder. Open CapCut on desktop and the draft is already in your draft list — fully editable, with captions, animations, transitions, audio and keyframes intact. Install with: curl -s https://cutcli.com/cli | bash

Question 2

Can cutcli render drafts in the cloud?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Since cutcli v1.3.9, run "cutcli auth set --api-key " once, then "cutcli cloud render " to zip, upload, and submit a local draft to the cloud render queue. Use "cutcli cloud jobs", "cutcli cloud job", or "cutcli cloud result" to inspect status and output URLs. "cutcli timer render" can run the same flow on an interval for automation checks.

Question 3

How do I use cutcli with Cursor, Claude Code or an MCP agent?

Accepted Answer

Run "cutcli setup cursor" (or claude / openclaw / all) to install the cutcli SKILL into your AI tool. The assistant can then call cutcli commands directly. For ChatGPT / Gemini and other models, copy prompts/system/cutcli-expert.md into the model's system prompt. Full guide: https://docs.cutcli.com/guide/ai-integration

Question 4

Does cutcli work with both CapCut (international) and Jianying (剪映 Chinese)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The draft format is the same on both apps; cutcli writes drafts that either client can open directly from its draft folder.

Question 5

How is cutcli different from manually editing CapCut JSON?

Accepted Answer

Hand-writing CapCut draft JSON means dealing with microsecond timestamps, undocumented enums, normalized 0–1 coordinates and a half-dozen sibling files that must stay in sync. cutcli handles all of that and exposes a stable CLI surface (cutcli draft create, cutcli captions add, cutcli draft easy, …) that survives CapCut version bumps.

Question 6

Where can I find runnable examples?

Accepted Answer

The cutcli-cookbook repository at https://github.com/xuliang2024/cutcli-cookbook ships 8 ready-to-run examples under examples/ — one caption with fade-in, image slideshow with BGM, TikTok-style keyword highlighting, audio-driven layout, keyframe zoom, 30-second product promo, knowledge science card, and vlog template.
