Create a video editor project

Create a new editor project (timeline) on the account: pick a canvas preset, import media (VIVID assets, URLs or local files), optionally apply an initial batch of commands, and save. Returns the project id (use it with vivid_edit_timeline / vivid_render_project) and the timeline summary. Media added here is available to ADD_CLIP by its local id (= asset id unless localId is given). Commands are the same editing operations as the VIVID editor: [{ "type", "payload" }], one typed payload per type. Timeline: ADD_CLIP {assetId, canvasObject?{x,y,w,h,rotation,opacity,blendMode}} (places the whole asset at the first free gap of a matching track; then trim it with UPDATE_CLIP) · UPDATE_CLIP {id, startMs?, durationMs?, sourceOffsetMs?, playbackRate?, volume?, opacity?} · REMOVE_CLIP {id} · SPLIT_CLIP {clipId, splitAtMs} · DUPLICATE_CLIP {id} · DETACH_AUDIO {clipId} · ADD_TRACK {type:'visual'|'audio'} · CUT_TO_BEAT {audioClipId (an AUDIO clip id in the timeline), beatInterval (1–32: beats or peaks between cuts; 4 = one cut per bar), grid?: 'beats' (constant BPM grid, default) | 'peaks' (detected hits/accents — right for cuts "sui picchi", drops, voice, music without a steady tempo), minStrength? (grid peaks: 0–1, keep only hits ≥ it), mode?: 'redistribute' (default: re-slice all visual clips in order to fill the music) | 'snap' (only nudge existing edges), syncClips?: 'all' | [clipIds]} — the audio is analysed on the server automatically (free); to plan cuts by hand call vivid_analyze_audio and use its beats/peaks (ms) as UPDATE_CLIP boundaries. Look: SET_TRANSITION {clipId, edge:'in'|'out', type:'dissolve'|'fade-black' (visual) | 'crossfade'|'fade-in'|'fade-out' (audio), durationMs} · SET_CLIP_ANIMATION {clipId, phase:'in'|'out', type:'fade'|'slide-up'|'slide-down'|'zoom-in'|'zoom-out'|'zoom-pan'|'spin'|'blur-reveal', durationMs} · SET_CINEMATIC_LOOK {look} · SET_CANVAS_PRESET {id,label,width,height} (crop/reframe: landscape 1280x720, landscape-fhd 1920x1080, portrait 720x1280, portrait-fhd 1080x1920, square 1080x1080, social 864x1080) · UPDATE_CANVAS_OBJECT {id, x?, y?, w?, h?, rotation?, blendMode?}. Text: ADD_TEXT {text, startMs, endMs, x (0-1), y (0-1), fontFamily?, fontSize?, color?, animation?, fill?} · UPDATE_TEXT {id, ...} · REMOVE_TEXT {id}. fill = animated gradient on the glyphs: {type:'gradient', colors:['#ff6ec4','#7873f5','#4ade80','#facc15'], angle: 100, animate:'shift'|'none', speed?: periods/s (0.35)} — presets: iridescent, sunset, ocean, gold, candy (same colors as the in-app Fill picker). Subtitles (CapCut-style word-level captions): SET_SUBTITLES {cues:[{text, startMs, endMs, words?:[{word,startMs,endMs}]}] | null, templateId?:'outline-reveal'|'ugc-pop'|'karaoke-marker'|'cinematic-fade'|'neon-cyberpunk'|'playful-wiggle', position? (0 top – 100 bottom), styleOverrides?:{fontSize,color,highlightColor,…}, layout?:{x,y,scale,maxWidthPct,rotation}}. Get cues from vivid_transcribe (its cues[] carry per-word timing) on the voice/video asset; words are synthesized evenly when omitted. Keyframes & effects (v2): SET_ANIMATIONS {objectId, objectType:'canvas'|'text', animations:{x|y|scale|rotation|opacity|blur|...: {keyframes:[{t (ms), v, easing?}]}}} · SET_OBJECT_ANIMATION · ADD_EFFECT {objectId, objectType, effect:{type:'blur'|'vignette'|'colorGrade'|'grain'|'glitch'|'chromaticAberration'|'pixelate', ...}, replace?} · REMOVE_EFFECT {objectId, objectType, effectType} · SET_EFFECT_KEYFRAMES {objectId, objectType, effectType, param, keyframes:[{t (ms FROM THE CLIP START — not the timeline), v, easing? 'linear'|'easeInCubic'|'easeOutCubic'|'easeInOutCubic' (default)|'easeOutBack'|'easeOutElastic'|'easeOutBounce'|[x1,y1,x2,y2] bezier}] | null} — animates one value of an effect already on the object (ADD_EFFECT first, same batch is fine): cameraShake.intensity|speed, motionBlur.intensity, flash.intensity|decayMs, zoomBlur.amount|centerX|centerY, lightLeak.intensity|speed|hue, blur.amount, vignette.intensity|size, colorGrade.brightness|contrast|saturation|hue, grain/glitch/chromaticAberration/pixelate values. Use it for anything that changes over time (a shake that builds up, a leak that fades in). Motion & light effects (canvas objects only): {type:'motionBlur', intensity 0–1 (shutter = intensity × 2 frames; blurs the clip's OWN movement — keyframes, intro/outro, shake, beat pump — not motion inside the footage, so pair it with SET_ANIMATIONS or SET_CLIP_ANIMATION), samples? 2–32} · {type:'cameraShake', intensity 0–1 (1 = ±3% of the short side, ±2°), speed? Hz 0.5–20 (6), seed?} · {type:'flash', intensity 0–1, color? '#rrggbb' (white), everyBeats? 1–16, bpm? (used only when the project has no analysed music), decayMs? 30–2000 (150)} · {type:'zoomBlur', amount 0–1, centerX? centerY? 0–1} · {type:'lightLeak', intensity 0–1, speed? 0.1–4, hue? 0–360 (25 = warm)}. Effect recipes (one style across the edit, preferred over hand-written effects/keyframes): APPLY_EFFECT_RECIPE {recipe:'beat-flash' (flash pinned to the music's real beats — the audio is analysed on the server automatically, like CUT_TO_BEAT) | 'punch-in' (scale pop + motion blur on every cut) | 'whip' (fast slide-in from alternating sides + motion blur on every cut) | 'handheld' (subtle shake) | 'light-leak' | 'clear' (removes what recipes added), intensity? 0–1 (0.6), clipIds? (default all visual clips), everyBeats? (beat-flash), color? (beat-flash), audioClipId? (beat-flash)} — its keyframes sit on the timeline, so send it AFTER CUT_TO_BEAT or anything that moves clips. · SET_MASK {objectId, mask:{type:'rect'|'circle'|'reveal'|'clipPath'|'none', ...}} · ADD_AUDIO_REACTIVE. Speed: UPDATE_CLIP.playbackRate is constant per clip; SET_SPEED_RAMP {clipId, preset:'speed-up'|'slow-down'|'slow-mo-hit'|'punch-in'|'ease-in-out'|'none'} or {clipId, keyframes:[{t (ms from clip start on the timeline), v (rate 0.1–8)}]} gives a variable speed (linear between keyframes; the clip keeps its timeline duration unless the source runs out, then it is shortened). Ids: read them from vivid_get_editor_project or from "created" in the previous result; a batch is applied one command at a time, so a later command can use a clip created earlier in the same batch.
