Finishing videos inside ChatGPT
CapCut, the video editing app owned by China's ByteDance, announced on Oct. 24 (Oct. 25 Japan time) at its "CapCut World" event in Los Angeles that it will release a plugin that can be used inside OpenAI's ChatGPT. It will be available in the coming months and cannot be used yet.
Users develop an idea for a video in ChatGPT, and CapCut produces the first rough edit. They then refine it in conversation with requests such as making a scene longer, making the captions easier to read or lowering the music under the narration. Even after editing parts by hand, users can continue the conversation with those changes taken into account.
Text-requested editing across versions
At the event, CapCut also announced "EditPilot," which lets users edit the desktop version by giving instructions in words. Users can make requests in text for tasks such as changing the color of a specific object in the footage. The company will add image, video and audio generation to the web version, and within months will release an agent feature that helps users go from a goal to a first draft.
CapCut says it has more than 700 million users in more than 170 markets. It also uses labels showing that content was made with AI, as well as invisible watermarks.
