# capcut
The **short-form editing tool skill** — edit to the script, drive the pace, ink the captions, tighten sound with
the license check, and ship safe + to spec. The agent plans and flags the hazards; the **human executes and
approves**; **WoopSocial publishes** the finished file. (Ships with `tools/integrations/capcut.md`.)
## The POV: the edit serves the script — and "free" has fine print
CapCut earned its place as the default short-form editor: auto-captions in seconds, beat-sync, background removal,
trend templates, phone-to-desktop sync — with a **~15-minute ceiling by design** (it's a short-form tool; route
long-form to Descript/Resolve). Two top-1% edges most creators learn the hard way. **(1) The licensing fine
print:** the June 2025 ToS grants ByteDance a perpetual, transferable, sublicensable license to anything
**uploaded/synced** (you keep copyright — it's a license, not ownership, stated precisely) — so **client/NDA
material edits locally, never synced**; and the music trap: free-library assets are personal-use only, and even
tracks labeled **"Commercial use" are reported cleared for TikTok/CapCut platforms only** — YouTube/IG claims
still happen, verify per track. **(2) Check the tier before you build:** features migrate behind Pro over time,
and the documented failure is hours of editing ending at a paywalled export. The craft line: the edit **executes
what `short-form-video-script` designed** — pacing, captions, and sound serve the beats; and auto-captio
