Explore CapCut AI video generator workflows for prompts, images, scripts, captions, and export, then choose a focused guide for the next draft today.
CapCut's AI video workflow can involve a creative brief, source media, scenes, voiceover, captions, editing, and export. Use this guide map to choose the next decision you need to make. Start with the focused task instead of changing several parts of a draft at once.
Create & Plan
- Start from one image when a still needs one clear motion direction.
- Use a text to video artificial intelligence prompt guide when a text idea needs one focused shot brief.
- Map a script to scenes when the narration exists but the visual sequence does not.
- Plan a multi-scene video when several related shots need order and continuity.
- Prepare a text-to-video brief when a written idea needs a controlled first-draft plan.
- Plan an avatar video when the project needs an authorized presenter, script, voice, and review boundary.
- Break a long script into scenes when message beats and pacing need to stay legible.
- Build a three-shot reveal from one photo when a product still needs a clear opening, one visible action, and a final hold.
- Design one clean motion loop when a brief needs one repeatable action and a stable final frame.
- Map a hook, proof, and payoff when a short product story needs three readable beats.
- Plan a three-second visual identity reveal when an opening needs one recognisable signal, one change, and a readable ending.
- Set a clear channel promise when a YouTube opening needs one audience outcome and one visible signal.
- Map visual actions to audio when an audio idea needs a visible action for each important shift.
- Build a repeating visual motif when a music-video idea needs a stable visual pattern before it moves.
- Turn one idea into a clear sequence when a longer video needs a promise, evidence, and a practical summary.
- Cut a spoiler-free story trailer when the edit should keep the clues and withhold the answer.
- Write filmable dialogue from a conflict when two characters need opposing goals and actions performers can play.
- Build a three-scene cartoon story when one character needs a clear obstacle, action, and result.
- Reveal a message word by word when separate text layers need staggered start times and a pause before the final word.
- Plan a training video with a self check when learners need a visible pass condition before continuing a procedure.
- Turn company facts into a service story when an introduction should explain the audience, service, and one contact step.
- Time a delayed video punchline when separate caption layers need a readable setup, a short pause, and a later reveal.
Edit & Deliver
- Add captions and voiceover when the draft exists but speech and on-screen text need review.
- Check export settings when the message is ready and delivery requirements are known.
- Replace scene media when one visual does not support the message.
- Balance music and effects when narration is hard to hear or an action needs emphasis.
- Fix wrong auto captions when the words or timing do not match the spoken track.
- Import SRT captions when a timed subtitle file needs to enter a project for review.
- Review scene consistency when subject, camera, props, or visual state drift between shots.
- Outline a problem, proof, and action when a product story needs one observable detail and one next step.
- Score a candidate clip before you cut when you need to keep, revise, or remove one moment for a clear reason.
- Plan owned product proof when a creator story needs a product detail that stays recognisable across the sequence.
- Explain one idea with clear visuals when an explainer needs one message per section.
- Make a better cut list when you need to keep, remove, and replay clips for a clear viewer outcome.
- Leave room for the next episode when a YouTube outro needs a closing message beside the recommendation area.
- Choose a Reel length that keeps the story when a shorter edit must preserve the subject, action, and result.
