NewCut Video Clipping

Create polished clips through a reviewable pipeline. Prefer complete viewpoints over fixed durations and never select highlights by keyword scores.

Prerequisites

Run the doctor before processing:

node <skill-root>/scripts/newcut.mjs doctor

Required: Node.js 20+ and FFmpeg/FFprobe. For transcription, use an existing timestamped transcript, local Whisper, or user-provided Doubao/TOS credentials.

For Doubao setup, read provider-config.md. Never print, copy, or commit credential values.

Mandatory onboarding before requesting video

For a first-time user, choose and verify the transcription setup before asking them to upload or provide a video. Do not wait until a video has already been uploaded. Do not run any media command during onboarding.
