Can ChatGPT edit videos? Yes, with cuttingfloor.

On its own, ChatGPT can write a script or describe an edit, but it can’t cut your video. Add cuttingfloor as a plugin and it can: ChatGPT imports the video you attach, cuts it, adds captions and music, looks at a preview to check its work, and gives you back a finished MP4.

Questions

Asked.

Can ChatGPT edit videos?

Not by itself: ChatGPT can plan an edit and write the script, but it doesn’t cut video. With cuttingfloor added as a plugin it can, because it gets the editing tools: import, cut, caption, mix, preview and export.

Can I attach my video in the chat?

Yes. Attach it and type @cuttingfloor with what you want. ChatGPT passes the file to cuttingfloor, and the finished video comes back as a link that plays in any browser.

Which ChatGPT plans can add it?

Adding a custom MCP server is up to OpenAI and your plan. On Business, only admins and owners can create plugins with MCP servers; on Enterprise and Edu, an admin has to allow them first.

Does it work in the ChatGPT app on my phone?

Yes, once it’s added. You add plugins on the web or the desktop app, and they work on your phone too.

What does it cost?

Start free for 3 days, no card. After that, plans are on the pricing page.
