How to uninstall Jianying Pro (剪映专业版) on Mac
Your 剪映专业版 (Jianying Pro) drafts are your work, and they do not live inside the app. In the recorded test they sat in ~/Movies/JianyingPro, 328 MB in the test, and real projects can make it far larger. Removing the app leaves that folder alone, and nothing in this guide asks you to delete it. If you want the drafts gone too, copy the folder to another drive first and open the copy to check it. This guide covers 剪映专业版 downloaded from the official 剪映 site, whose app is named VideoFusion-macOS, and the Homebrew cask videofusion. CapCut, the international edition, is a separate app with its own folders.
Back up your drafts first
- Finish or export any project you still need.
- Open
~/Movies/JianyingProin Finder with Shift + Command + G. If you pointed 剪映 at another draft folder, use that folder instead. - Copy the whole folder to an external drive or another location outside
~/Movies, then open the copy and check that your projects are there.
Drafts can reference the video, audio and pictures you imported from elsewhere. Keep those source files too; a draft folder without them may open with missing media. Mole's own code treats the imported-media copies under ~/Movies/JianyingPro/User Data/Cache as possibly the only copy left, which is another reason not to empty that folder by hand.
Quit and remove the app
- Quit 剪映专业版 and check Activity Monitor for VideoFusion-macOS. In the recorded test it ran as ten processes.
- Move VideoFusion-macOS from Applications to the Trash.
- Open System Settings › General › Login Items & Extensions and turn off any 剪映 entry still listed. In the recorded test 剪映's tray helper was listed there while installed and gone after removal.
Where 剪映专业版 keeps its data
| Location | What it holds | What to do |
|---|---|---|
~/Movies/JianyingPro |
Drafts, their settings and working caches | Keep it; back it up before you ever delete it |
~/Library/Containers/com.lemon.lvpro |
The app's sandbox container | Remove with the app; macOS may refuse to move it |
~/Library/Application Scripts/com.lemon.lvpro |
The app's scripts folder | Remove with the app |
The container and scripts folder are the two paths in Homebrew's zap list. The draft location is a verified local observation, not a path 剪映 documents.
Check the result
Run these read-only commands after the app is in the Trash:
pgrep -il videofusion
ls -d ~/Movies/JianyingPro ~/Library/Containers/com.lemon.lvpro
du -sh ~/Movies/JianyingPro
- No output from
pgrepmeans 剪映专业版 is not running. A listed process means it is still open. ls -dprinting~/Movies/JianyingPromeans your drafts are still there, which is what you want. A surviving container means macOS refused to move it, as it did in the test; it is harmless to leave.du -shshows how much space the draft folder takes, so you can decide whether a backup elsewhere is worth it. "No such file or directory" means the folder is not at that path; check whether you moved your drafts before assuming they are gone.
If you installed it with Homebrew
Mole skips --zap when the zap list reaches data you left unchecked, a path another installed app uses, or anything Mole cannot check, and it still cleans the leftovers you selected.
The videofusion cask's zap list names only ~/Library/Application Scripts/com.lemon.lvpro and ~/Library/Containers/com.lemon.lvpro. It does not name ~/Movies/JianyingPro, so brew uninstall --cask --zap videofusion leaves your drafts where they are. To remove only the app:
brew uninstall --cask videofusion
What Mole lists
For 剪映专业版 downloaded from the official site:
~/Library/Containers/com.lemon.lvproand~/Library/Application Scripts/com.lemon.lvproare selected by default.~/Movies/JianyingProis not listed during an uninstall. As part of an app uninstall, Mole refuses to remove anything inside Movies, Music, Pictures, Documents, Desktop or Downloads in your home folder.- Separately, Mole's Clean tab can offer a fixed set of regenerable cache folders inside
~/Movies/JianyingPro/User Data/Cache, such as frame thumbnails, audio waveforms and prerender files, and only while 剪映 is not running. Drafts, downloaded materials and imported-media copies are not offered. - Login items are not edited.
What this test covered
On September 20, 2026, 剪映专业版 was copied from the official download into Applications, without Homebrew, run, and uninstalled with Mole 1.15 Preview build 280 using the default selection. While it ran, Status showed it as one row with ten processes. The app went to the Trash, the container was listed but could not be moved for lack of permission, and the 328 MB ~/Movies/JianyingPro folder was not listed and stayed on disk. The tray helper's login item was gone afterwards. The record includes no real editing project or signed-in account, and the Homebrew cask and the Mac App Store version were not tested.
