CapCut is adding a ChatGPT plugin. See it in action.
CapCut is bringing its video editor to ChatGPT, so creators can describe what they want and refine their edits through conversation.
CapCut, the video editing app owned by ByteDance, is set to integrate a ChatGPT plugin in the coming months. The announcement was made at CapCut World, an event held in Los Angeles for creators and partners, on October 24. At present, the plugin is not accessible, but CapCut promises to roll it out soon. The plugin will allow creators to conceptualize a video idea in ChatGPT and receive a preliminary version from CapCut.
This initial version can be further customized through conversation. CapCut has provided examples such as extending a shot, improving caption readability, or maintaining quiet music under a voiceover. Notably, users are not restricted to giving commands; they can also make manual adjustments, and ChatGPT will factor these into the evolving dialogue.
CapCut demonstrated the functionality of the plugin on X, where a user uploaded clips from a sports game and requested ChatGPT to transform them into a 12-second highlight reel. The user then proceeded to refine the output, such as adding on-screen text. CapCut's global head, Xiaoqi Fu, emphasized that the company's new tools are designed to preserve the creator's creativity and judgment throughout the process.
The plugin is part of a broader suite of AI features introduced by CapCut at the event, including generative AI features for web and mobile applications, an AI agent to be tested in the future, and tools for labeling AI-generated content, using watermarks, and C2PA Content Credentials for tracking media origins. Additionally, CapCut is piloting a tool allowing users to verify if a file was created using AI tools from CapCut or its sister apps.
