CapCut Export
Turn a finished layered edit into a CapCut desktop draft where an editor can grab any element — nudge a caption, swap a card, mute one SFX hit — instead of receiving a baked MP4.
Honest status up front: the draft generation works and is well understood. The "modern CapCut opens it" step is a documented work-in-progress. pyJianYingDraft writes JianYing-era drafts; current CapCut desktop expects a newer schema. Before the patch described below, CapCut refused the draft with "Couldn't use project: unusual path". The patch is implemented in the script but has not been field-verified end to end on a current CapCut build. Treat the last mile as debugging work, not a guaranteed one-shot (see Debugging — the method is a diff against a native draft).
