# 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. ## 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### A request to start with ```text Use Clypmint to edit my talking video for Reels.

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.
