How to edit a video with ChatGPT

ChatGPT can plan an edit. Clypmint makes it. Connect Clypmint to ChatGPT, attach your video and say what you want. Clypmint cuts the video and adds captions and graphics. You watch the result in the chat, ask for changes in plain words, and open the same project in Clypmint Studio. Free to make and watch, a paid plan to download.

Updated October 20, 2026. Or read this guide as plain text for your assistant.

Quick start

  1. Connect Clypmint to ChatGPT.
  2. Start a new chat and attach your video.
  3. Say what you want in a sentence or two.
  4. Watch the result and ask for changes.
  5. Download it with a paid plan, or fix details in Studio.

What you need

  • A ChatGPT account where you can add a connection. Some plans and workspaces cannot.
  • A Clypmint account. Free to make and watch, a paid plan to download.
  • A video you shot, or just an idea. Use only footage you have the right to use.
  • Optional: a song, or a link to a video whose editing you like.

The steps

  1. Connect Clypmint

    Paste the install line into the ChatGPT desktop app, or connect Clypmint by hand. Either way, sign in to your Clypmint account when asked. Sign-in happens in your browser. Never paste a password or a token into the chat.

    Paste one line to install
    Read https://clypmint.com/chatgpt.md and set up Clypmint in ChatGPT for me.
    Paste it into a new task in the ChatGPT desktop app. It needs an app that can read a page and run commands on your computer. A browser chat cannot, so use the steps below.
    Or connect it by hand

    Connect Clypmint as a custom plugin. Public directory publication is still pending.

    1. Open Plugins, select Add, then Add custom MCP server.
    2. Name it Clypmint, enter the server URL below and choose OAuth.
    3. Create the plugin, connect your Clypmint account, then select it with @ in a new chat.
    Open ChatGPT Plugins ↗
    https://clypmint.com/mcp

    A custom MCP connection exposes tools. Bundled agent skills require the full Clypmint plugin; updating the tools list alone does not install skills. Custom plugins depend on your account and workspace settings. If Add custom MCP server is unavailable, check Developer mode and your workspace permissions, or use Claude or Clypmint Studio.

    Try your first edit
    Use Clypmint to edit my talking video for Reels. Show me the styles first, cut the pauses and add readable captions. Keep my words. Give me an upload link if you cannot use my attachment.

    Your Clypmint plan and credits apply. If your chat cannot pass a video attachment, Clypmint gives you a private upload page. Ask for a change after watching the result.

  2. Start a new chat

    Plugin tools load when a chat starts, so start a new chat after you install or update Clypmint. Type @ and pick Clypmint, or ask for Clypmint by name.

  3. Attach your video

    Drop the file into the chat. If ChatGPT cannot pass the file on, Clypmint gives you a private upload link. It works for 15 minutes. Upload there and the same edit carries on.

  4. Say what you want

    Say what the video is for, how long it should be, what to keep and what to leave out. Ask for the list of styles first if you want to choose one. You do not need a perfect request. You can change anything after you see the first cut.

    For example:

    Use Clypmint to edit my talking video for Reels. Show me the styles first, cut the pauses and add readable captions. Keep my words. Give me an upload link if you cannot use my attachment.
  5. Watch it work

    The video card shows progress and plays the finished edit. Ask how it is going at any time. Your last version stays until the new one is ready.

  6. Ask for changes

    Say it the way you would tell an editor. Make the opening faster. Make the captions smaller. Spell my name with two Ns. Fixing a caption word or changing a scene directly is free.

  7. Download it, or keep going in Studio

    Downloading needs a paid plan. Studio holds the same project, so you can change scenes and captions directly.

Check it before you post

  • The first three seconds. Would you stop scrolling?
  • The last line, and any link or offer.
  • Music you do not own. Social apps may mute it.
  • Any claim you would not say out loud yourself.

If something goes wrong

Clypmint does not show up

Start a new chat, because tools load when it starts. If it is still missing, refresh the tools list in your connection settings. In the desktop app, open the Plugins page and make sure Clypmint is switched on.

The connection expired

Reconnect Clypmint in your ChatGPT connection settings. Then carry on with the same request. You do not need to start the edit again.

The attachment will not transfer

Ask Clypmint for a private upload link. It works for 15 minutes. If it runs out, ask for a new one and use the same file.

The first edit is too generic

Add three things: where the video will post, the style you want and what to keep. Or show Clypmint a video you like and ask it to edit yours that way.

It says you are out of credits

Your Clypmint plan sets your credits. Check them in Studio, or pick a plan on the pricing page. Ask Clypmint to price a request before it starts.
