**Create and edit real CapCut / JianYing projects from the terminal — or any LLM agent.**

Open the result in CapCut with every track still editable. capcut-cli works directly on the local draft store: JSON in, JSON out, with no upload, API, MCP server, or HTTP daemon.

**Also from the maintainer:** [500 Years Frozen in Time: The Inca Children Mystery](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl8SP3PjspQ), a 14:49 documentary from [Bronze Age Banter](https://www.youtube.com/@BronzeAgeBanter).
