Run RoughCut headlessly on macOS to generate Final Cut Pro (FCPXML) rough-cut timeline variants from a talking-head video — local-first, no media upload.
Run RoughCut headlessly on macOS to generate Final Cut Pro (FCPXML) rough-cut timeline variants from a talking-head video — local-first, no media upload.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
This skill lets an OpenClaw agent run RoughCut locally on a user's Mac to produce RoughCut.xml_variants.zip from a raw video file, without uploading media.
Confirm the video is present on local disk and get an absolute file path (example: /Users/alice/Movies/raw.mp4). If the file is on Google Drive/iCloud/Dropbox, ensure it is fully downloaded and accessible as a local file path. Tip: on macOS, you can drag the video file into Terminal to paste its absolute path. If the user is on a different machine than the OpenClaw Mac, agree on a delivery method: Synced folder: a folder that syncs onto the OpenClaw Mac (iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive Desktop, etc.). Direct download URL: ask the user for a direct HTTPS download link (for example an S3/R2/GCS pre-signed URL), then run RoughCut with --video-url (it downloads into output_root/RoughCut.inputs/ automatically). Confirm RoughCut repo is present on the same Mac. Repo: https://github.com/samerGMTM22/OpenClaw-RoughCut If the user enables fluff removal, ensure GEMINI_API_KEY is set in the environment that will run RoughCut. If it is not set, ask the user to provide it and explain it is used only for fluff removal.
Do you want to remove bad takes? (default: yes) Do you want to remove fluff/off-topic content? (default: no) If fluff removal is enabled: what is the video topic/goal? (required)
Use repo_root and output_root from OpenClaw config: bash "$REPO_ROOT/scripts/openclaw/roughcut.sh" \ --video "$VIDEO_ABS_PATH" \ --out "$OUTPUT_ROOT" \ --remove-bad-takes true \ --remove-fluff false If the user provides a direct download URL, you can pass it directly (the runner downloads to $OUTPUT_ROOT/RoughCut.inputs/ first): bash "$REPO_ROOT/scripts/openclaw/roughcut.sh" \ --video-url "$VIDEO_URL" \ --out "$OUTPUT_ROOT" \ --remove-bad-takes true \ --remove-fluff false If the URL has no filename (common for pre-signed URLs), include --video-name, and optionally --video-sha256: bash "$REPO_ROOT/scripts/openclaw/roughcut.sh" \ --video-url "$VIDEO_URL" \ --video-name "my_video.mov" \ --video-sha256 "0123456789abcdef..." \ --out "$OUTPUT_ROOT" \ --remove-bad-takes true \ --remove-fluff false If fluff removal is enabled: bash "$REPO_ROOT/scripts/openclaw/roughcut.sh" \ --video "$VIDEO_ABS_PATH" \ --out "$OUTPUT_ROOT" \ --remove-bad-takes true \ --remove-fluff true \ --topic "$TOPIC" The runner prints a single-line JSON result to stdout. On success it includes: xml_variants_zip: absolute path to RoughCut.xml_variants.zip video_path: absolute path to the input video used for processing downloaded_video_path: present only when --video-url was used (where the video was saved) On failure it will include: error optionally debug_zip (a bundle of intermediate outputs)
The output zip path(s) from the JSON. How to import into Final Cut Pro: Unzip RoughCut.xml_variants.zip. In Final Cut Pro: File -> Import -> XML... Choose the desired .fcpxml variant.
