ByteDance-owned video editor CapCut announced a forthcoming ChatGPT plugin on October 24 at CapCut World in Los Angeles, allowing creators to develop video ideas in ChatGPT and generate rough first cuts automatically. The plugin is expected to arrive in the coming months.
Connecting AI to Timeline Editing
According to CapCut, users will develop video concepts inside ChatGPT and let the video editor assemble a rough first cut. From there, editing continues directly through chat prompts. Examples shared by the company include holding a shot for longer, adjusting caption readability, or keeping background music playing quietly underneath a voiceover.

Refining Videos With Chat Prompts
CapCut confirmed that creators can make hands-on changes themselves, with ChatGPT taking those manual edits into account as the conversation continues. A demo shared on X showed a user uploading sports game clips and instructing ChatGPT to turn them into a 12-second highlight reel. After the plugin generated the video, the user refined it by asking ChatGPT to add on-screen text.
CapCut World Shows New AI Tools
The ChatGPT plugin was part of a wave of artificial intelligence features announced at the Los Angeles creator event. CapCut also introduced new generative AI features for its web and mobile applications, alongside an AI agent slated for testing in the coming months.
