CapCut is coming to ChatGPT.
The ByteDance-owned video editor announced a ChatGPT plugin on Oct. 24 at CapCut World in Los Angeles, an event for creators and partners. The plugin isn’t available yet; CapCut says it will arrive in the coming months.
According to CapCut, creators will be able to develop a video idea in ChatGPT and have CapCut put together a rough first cut. From there, they can keep tweaking it by chatting. CapCut’s examples include holding a shot for longer, making captions more readable, or keeping music playing quietly under a voiceover.

Creators aren’t limited to prompts, either. CapCut says users can make hands-on changes themselves, and ChatGPT will take those edits into account as the conversation continues.

CapCut shared a demo of the plugin on X. In the video, a user uploads clips from a sports game and asks ChatGPT, “@capcut turn these clips into a 12-second highlight reel.” The plugin generates the reel, and the user then refines it, including asking ChatGPT to add on-screen text.
“Creators across the Americas are showing us that a great idea can begin anywhere,” Xiaoqi Fu, CapCut’s global head, said in a statement. Fu added that the company’s new tools aim to keep the creator’s own imagination and judgment at the center of the process.
The plugin was one of several AI features CapCut announced at the event. This includes new generative AI features for its web and mobile apps, as well as an AI agent for CapCut that’ll be tested in the coming months.
CapCut also says it labels AI-generated content and uses watermarks and C2PA Content Credentials, an industry standard for tracking how media was made. It is also testing a tool that lets anyone upload a file to see whether it was made with AI tools from CapCut or its sister apps, Dreamina, Pippit, and Hypi.
