For AI Agents
- Always use
--jsonfor parseable output - Check return codes — 0 = success, non-zero = error
- Parse stderr for error messages in non-JSON mode
- Use absolute file paths
- After
export render, verify the output exists and probe it - Times are in milliseconds for all region commands
- Coordinates (focus, crop, position) are normalized 0-1
- Use
preview capture --jsonto validate zoom, trim, annotation, and timing visually - Read returned bundle artifact paths from the JSON payload; images and clips live on disk
- Use
cli-hub previews ...only to inspect/open existing bundles
