Can you edit videos with ChatGPT?

Yes, you can edit videos with ChatGPT now, but not in a plain chat: you need a video plugin like Tesseract from Mirage, running in the ChatGPT desktop app. Mirage's Tesseract for ChatGPT page lays it out. You install the plugin, ChatGPT sets up a free engine on your computer, and then you hand it a clip and say what you want, like cut this down and put a title up top. It trims footage, adds animated titles, mixes the sound and keeps the whole thing as an editable project.

So the part I care about is that last bit. When you say make the title bigger, it changes the title and leaves the cut alone, because it's editing the project instead of making a brand new video, which is what most AI video tools do and it drives me nuts. There are a couple of catches, though. It edits footage you already shot, it doesn't make footage or avatars, and you still pay for ChatGPT even though the engine is free. My step-by-step ChatGPT video editor setup walks through the install, a free first test and the fixes for what breaks.
