πŸ”§ Troubleshooting

Project doesn't appear in CapCut

  • Try completely closing and restarting CapCut
  • Verify the folder path is correct (copy into com.lveditor.draft folder)
  • Make sure the project folder name doesn't contain special characters

Media files are missing

  • Verify the media folder is inside the project folder
  • Make sure the ZIP file was fully extracted

Which path should I choose?

  • Try switching between preset buttons (CapCut / CapCut Pro / Documents) in the Whisk2CapCut extension
  • Open your CapCut project folder to check where existing projects are stored
  • Usually CapCut is the default path

AppData folder is not visible (Windows)

  • File Explorer > View > Show hidden items
  • Or type %localappdata% directly in the address bar
