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.
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.
Troubleshoot
- Troubleshoot a missing or failed tool when you do not know which stage stopped.
- Check a 99% processing stall when generation appears to stop near completion.
- Review a guidelines message when the request or source media may be restricted.
- Troubleshoot voiceover generation when text-to-speech or the audio track fails.
- Classify a generic generation error when the message does not identify the cause.
FAQ
- Use the AI video FAQ when you need a short answer before choosing a detailed task.

Start the broad CapCut workflow
After choosing the focused task, open the CapCut AI video generator and use the controls shown for that task to take the next step.
Your next action is to pick one guide, write down the scene or error it covers, and change only that part of the workflow.
