Works with ChatGPT and Codex. Free plan, no time limit.

Can ChatGPT edit videos?

Yes, once it's connected to a video editor. On its own, ChatGPT can't cut your footage, and Sora makes new clips rather than editing yours. Connect Cutwords and ChatGPT reads your video's word-timed transcript and makes the cuts in your project, where you keep or undo each one.

ChatGPT video editor FAQ

Can ChatGPT edit videos for free?

Cutwords has a free plan with no time limit. Adding it to ChatGPT needs developer mode, which is on paid ChatGPT plans.

Is there a ChatGPT video editor plugin?

For Codex, yes: install the Cutwords plugin. In ChatGPT, add Cutwords as a custom connector in developer mode.

How do I edit videos with Codex?

Run codex plugin add cutwords@cutwords and codex mcp login cutwords, then ask: “Remove the ums from my latest Cutwords video.”

Is this the same as Sora?

No. Sora generates new video from a prompt. Cutwords edits the footage you recorded, and ChatGPT cuts it by its transcript.

Does ChatGPT watch my video?

No. ChatGPT reads the word-timed transcript and the current edit, not the footage itself.

Can ChatGPT edit videos for YouTube and TikTok?

Yes. ChatGPT tightens the edit, then you export an MP4 up to 4K, or make vertical clips with the AI Clip Maker.

Can I undo what ChatGPT changed?

Yes. Every edit shows in the editor's history under “ChatGPT · connected”. Undo it there, with ⌘Z, or ask ChatGPT.
