Create Motion Graphics

Plugin host and project

Use the plugin-provided chatcut MCP server (tool namespace chatcut_chatcut) and the project ID from the user's editor URL or the plugin's project result. This plugin works with the Web editor, including local development URLs. Do not open ChatCut Desktop or use chatcut_desktop for a Web project. If chatcut tools are unavailable, report the connection failure; do not submit the task to the editor's native Agent as a substitute.

Find MG references before designing

Browse and confirm a visual direction

For production, reuse an accepted project style or user-supplied brand/reference. Use manage_design_style get when its full spec is not already known. Routine text/placement edits need no new style selection or catalog rescan.

When a new direction is needed or the user asks to browse alternatives, start with browse_library references: {view: "style-overview"}. Read ALL numbered contact sheets, following nextOffset until complete. They contain published, agent-enabled style representatives, including linked existing Design Styles. list_presets is only the legacy catalog subset; it cannot replace this visual overview. Retry a failed page; report an incomplete overview instead of silently skipping it.

For speech-led video, understand the spoken content and inspect representative video frames before shortlisting styles. Reuse transcript and frame evidence already in context. Consider the topic, delivery tone, on-screen language, and the footage's color, subject framing and background alongside the style previews.

When the visual direction is not yet agreed, shortlist up to 6 distinct fits for the current content and footage, and read their hero parts. Load the host's widget-forms skill and, only when the host can display images in chat, show actual heroPreview.url images with short names. Otherwise describe the visual differences in text and say image previews are unavailable here. Keep each text choice mapped to its reference ID; use one Other choice for preferences or another batch without repeating choices or adding a separate Show more option. Wait for the selection before applying a new style and producing the MG, unless the user has already chosen a direction or explicitly delegated the style choice. An Other answer is not acceptance.
