Put HOW TO EDIT in big yellow letters on one line, in the middle of the frame so it covers my face at first, and from 3 seconds, when I duck under it, bring me out in front of the words Used AskEditor: add_text. Used AskEditor: cut_out_person. Done. Two layers over your clip: HOW TO EDIT in big yellow letters, centred over your face for the first three seconds, and from 3 s a cut-out of you above them, so as you duck under you come out in front and the letters run behind your head. The cut-out cost 10 credits.

Frequently asked questions
What is the AskEditor plugin for ChatGPT?
A plugin that gives ChatGPT a real video editor. ChatGPT reads your footage, makes the edit with AskEditor's tools and shows it in the editor beside the chat, on a timeline you can change yourself.
How do I install it?
Paste this into a new chat in the ChatGPT desktop app on Mac or Windows: Read askeditor.com/chatgpt and install the AskEditor plugin. ChatGPT downloads the plugin, checks it is ours, adds it and opens an AskEditor page where you press Allow.
Can ChatGPT edit videos?
Not by itself. With the plugin it drives AskEditor: it cuts, captions and styles your clip on a real timeline, then looks at pictures of the edit to check its work.
Do I still get a timeline?
Yes. Every change lands on a frame-accurate, multi-track timeline in the editor beside the chat. Nothing is baked in: move a cut, fix a word or change a colour by hand, or ask ChatGPT.
What can I make with it?
Talking-head edits, shorts from long takes, captioned reels, hooks and title cards, launch videos, explainers with motion graphics, and UGC ads with a presenter. Start from your own clip or from a sentence.
Do I have to leave ChatGPT?
No. In the ChatGPT desktop app the editor opens in its browser beside the chat and updates as ChatGPT works. On the web or a phone the plugin cannot be installed.
What does it cost?
The plugin is free. Edits on the timeline never use credits. Generating video, voices, music and pictures uses AskEditor credits, and ChatGPT asks before anything costs more than a little.
Can I use my own footage?
Yes. Add clips in the editor, or ask ChatGPT to bring in a file from your computer or a link. Your files can live in AskEditor cloud on every plan (Free keeps up to 2 GB), so ChatGPT can watch, transcribe and cut out your footage too.
Does it work on the web or on a phone?
Installing needs the ChatGPT desktop app on Mac or Windows. Once it is in, your projects are in AskEditor, and they open on any computer or phone.
Do I need an API key?
No. You sign in on AskEditor's own page and press Allow. You can disconnect ChatGPT whenever you like from AskEditor's settings.
Why AskEditor in ChatGPT
No second app, no key to keep safe, no new place to learn. The editor comes to the ChatGPT you already work in.
One line, one Allow
Paste the line and press Allow on AskEditor's page. Nothing to make or copy, and you edit in the ChatGPT you already use.
Two hundred tools, one plugin
Cuts, captions, hooks, motion graphics, the camera, sound and Slate come through the same connection, each with a guide ChatGPT reads first.
Your plan does the thinking
ChatGPT thinks on your own plan. AskEditor credits pay only for what is generated, and ChatGPT asks before anything costs more than a little.
