Export Guide

How to export an AutoFlowCut project to CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro or Vrew

🎯 Three Export Targets

AutoFlowCut exports a finished project to three editors. Pick the target from the ▾ menu next to the export button, or from the tabs at the top of the export modal.

✂️ CapCut

You get — a CapCut project folder
Saved to — your CapCut project folder (auto-detected)
Username needed — yes, it is part of the path

🎬 Premiere Pro

You get — a .prproj file
Saved to — the project folder inside your work folder
Username needed — no

📝 Vrew

You get — a .vrew file
Saved to — the project folder inside your work folder
Username needed — no

ℹ️ Each export writes one target only — there is no combined export to all three formats. If you want a second format, pick it again and export once more.

💡 Your work folder is the folder you picked in Settings, where generated images, videos and audio are stored. Premiere and Vrew drop their project file right next to that media (work folder/project name/), so there is no path to type in.

🚀 Quick Start (4 Steps)

Choose your export target

Open the ▾ menu on the "📦 Export" button and pick ✂️ CapCut, 🎬 Premiere or 📝 Vrew. The button itself remembers your last choice, and you can still switch with the tabs once the modal is open.

Check the save location and options

For CapCut the modal shows the project folder path and the project number; for Premiere and Vrew it shows the exact file that will be written. The image scale, Ken Burns and subtitle options are shared by all three.

Click 📦 Export

The app writes the project file straight to disk. There is nothing to unzip and no folder to copy.

Open it in the editor

When the export finishes, the app launches the editor for you. If that fails you will see a notice — just open the saved file yourself.

✂️ Export to CapCut

Pick the ✂️ CapCut tab and the app detects your system username and CapCut project folder, then fills in the next free project number for you. If the folder is not found, or you want the project somewhere else, switch presets (CapCut / CapCut Pro / Documents / Custom).

📦 Export to CapCut ✕

✂️ CapCut 🎬 Premiere 📝 Vrew

👤 System username

✓

💡 The app detects this for you (edit it here to preview the path)

📁 Project number *

✓

💡 The next free number is filled in automatically (you can change it)

📂 Path preset

📂 Generated path /Users/testUser/Movies/CapCut/User Data/Projects/com.lveditor.draft/0131

Cancel 📦 Export

What gets written, and where

When you press Export, the app writes the project files directly into your CapCut project folder. Images, videos, audio and subtitles (SRT) are not copied — the project references the originals in your work folder by absolute path.

📁 com.lveditor.draft/0131/     # CapCut project folder (written here)
├── 📄 draft_info.json          # CapCut project data
├── 📄 draft_meta_info.json     # project metadata
└── 📄 draft_agency_info.json   # boilerplate file CapCut expects

📁 work folder/project name/    # media stays here (referenced by absolute path)
├── 🖼️ scene_001.png
├── 🎞️ ...
└── 📄 project_subtitle_ko.srt  # when subtitles are included

⚠️ If you move, rename or delete the work folder (or the project folder inside it) after exporting, CapCut will report the media as missing. Once the files are written, the app launches CapCut for you.

👤 Find Your System Username

Your system username is part of the CapCut project folder path. The app normally detects it, but you will need it if you type a custom path or want to double-check the one shown. Premiere and Vrew save into your work folder, so they never need your username.

🍎 macOS

Open Terminal (Spotlight: Cmd + Space → "Terminal")
Type whoami and press Enter
The name it prints is your username

🪟 Windows

Open Command Prompt (Win + R → "cmd")
Type whoami and press Enter
It prints computer\username — use only the username part

📁 CapCut Project Folder Path

🍎 macOS

~/Movies/CapCut/User Data/Projects/com.lveditor.draft/

💡 In Finder press Cmd + Shift + G and paste the path

🪟 Windows

CapCut (default)

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\CapCut\User Data\Projects\com.lveditor.draft\

CapCut Pro

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\CapCutPro\User Data\Projects\com.lveditor.draft\

Documents

C:\Users\[username]\Documents\CapCut\Projects\

💡 Paste the path into the File Explorer address bar, or press Win + E

🎬 Export to Premiere Pro

Pick the 🎬 Premiere tab and the modal simply shows the .prproj file it will write. There is no path to type and no username to look up — the file lands in the project folder inside your work folder, right next to its media.

📁 work folder/project name/
├── 📄 project name.prproj   # Premiere Pro project (gzipped XML)
├── 🖼️ scene_001.png         # media stays where it was
└── 🎞️ ...

Opening it in the editor

After the export, the app opens the .prproj in Premiere Pro for you
If launching fails you will see a notice — double-click the .prproj in Finder / File Explorer instead

Good to know

Subtitles are embedded in the project — unlike CapCut, no separate SRT file is written
The file is always named after your project, so if one already exists the app asks before overwriting it. Overwriting discards edits you made in Premiere Pro
Without a work folder the export button stays disabled — set your work folder in Settings first

📝 Export to Vrew

Pick the 📝 Vrew tab and the modal shows the .vrew file it will write. As with Premiere, there is no path to type and no username needed. The .vrew file is a package that carries the project data together with its media.

📁 work folder/project name/
├── 📄 project name.vrew   # Vrew project (package with media inside)
├── 🖼️ scene_001.png
└── 🎞️ ...

Opening it in the editor

After the export, the app opens the .vrew in Vrew for you
If launching fails you will see a notice — open the saved .vrew yourself

Good to know

If a .vrew of the same name already exists, the app asks before overwriting it
Items the Vrew export does not support yet are skipped, and a notice tells you how many
Story-mode narration segments are not placed into the .vrew (CapCut and Premiere only)
Only the CapCut and Premiere exports can be automated through the MCP server — export to Vrew from the app itself

⚙️ Shared Export Options

These options apply to all three targets, and the app remembers your last choice.

🔍 Image scale

Fill — the image fills the frame (edges may be cropped if the aspect ratio differs)
Fit — the whole image stays visible (bars may appear if the aspect ratio differs)
None — use the original size (100%)

🎬 Ken Burns effect

Adds an automatic zoom / pan animation to still images
Mode — Random (a new position each cycle) or Pattern (chosen from zoom in, zoom out and pan)
Cycle — how often the animation changes, in seconds
Scale — the zoom range in percent; 100–150% works well

💬 Include subtitles

Only shown when the project actually has subtitles
CapCut writes an SRT file into the work folder and references it; Premiere embeds the subtitles in the project file

⬇️ When the Editor Isn't Installed

Before exporting, the app checks whether the target editor is installed. If it is not, the export stops and the app offers to open the download page. Confirm, and the address below opens in your browser.

✂️ CapCut — https://www.capcut.com/download (the Microsoft Store build opens the store page instead)
🎬 Premiere Pro — https://www.adobe.com/products/premiere.html
📝 Vrew — https://vrew.voyagerx.com/

💡 The CapCut check is skipped when you use a Custom path. In the Microsoft Store build the app shows the Premiere / Vrew download address as text instead of opening a link.

🔧 Troubleshooting

The project doesn't show up in CapCut

Quit CapCut completely and start it again
Check that the path shown in the modal is the CapCut project folder you actually use (com.lveditor.draft)
Make sure the project folder name has no special characters

CapCut says the media files are missing

The CapCut project never copies media — it references the originals in your work folder by absolute path
Don't move, rename or delete the work folder (or the project folder inside it) after exporting
If you already did, put it back where it was — or set the work folder again and re-run the export

Which path should I pick? (CapCut)

Try the preset buttons in AutoFlowCut (CapCut / CapCut Pro / Documents) and compare
Open your CapCut project folder and see where your existing projects live
CapCut is the usual default

I can't see the AppData folder (Windows)

File Explorer > View > tick Hidden items
Or type %localappdata% into the address bar

The export button is disabled (Premiere · Vrew)

Both targets need a work folder; without one the export button stays disabled
Set your work folder in Settings and try again

I'm asked to overwrite the project file (Premiere · Vrew)

The project file is always named after your project, so an existing file has to be confirmed before it is replaced
To keep edits you made in Premiere Pro, cancel, rename the existing .prproj, then export again
CapCut never asks, because it writes to the next free project number

The editor didn't open automatically

The file is already saved — a launch failure doesn't undo the export
Go to the path shown in the modal and open the .prproj or .vrew yourself

"Some items were skipped" (Vrew)

The Vrew export skips anything it doesn't support yet and tells you how many items that was
The project itself is saved fine — just re-add those elements in Vrew
If you need every element preserved, export to CapCut or Premiere instead
