How to edit videos with ChatGPT & Claude

Summary

Nate Gold demonstrates a workflow for using ChatGPT or Claude to edit social-media and YouTube videos. He says he built an app called Creator Cut after experimenting with AI video-editing setups.

In his examples, AI edits raw talking-head footage by removing pauses and bad takes, adding motion graphics, captions, music, and sound effects, and applying color grading. He presents this as a way to reduce editing time and the expense of hiring an editor.

A central point is that simply uploading footage with a generic prompt can produce poor or generic results. Nate says effective AI editing requires detailed instructions, style references, a reliable workflow, motion-graphics tools, and checks on the output. Creator Cut is presented as bundling these pieces so users do not need to build and configure the workflow themselves.

Creator Cut Features

• A project homepage and editing studio for organizing video projects.
• Uploads for raw footage, B-roll, photos, and other media.
• Reference scanning: Provide a social-media clip for the AI to analyze for style, colors, pacing, music, and motion graphics.
• Libraries of motion-graphics effects, color-grading presets, caption styles, and broader visual styles.
• Music options, including letting the AI choose, searching a library that Nate says has thousands of tracks, or uploading a track.
• Custom editing instructions and reusable presets.
• A video preview and timeline-based feedback, allowing users to request changes at specific times or frames and generate a revised version.
• A “viral skill engine,” which Nate says is trained on viral clips, and a learning loop intended to adapt to a user’s style over repeated projects.

Guide and Tutorial

The setup is presented as beginner-friendly: give the app’s file to ChatGPT or Claude, let the AI install the app, plugins, and skills, then create a project and upload footage. Users can add references, select styles and music, provide instructions, and let the AI render a draft. They can then review it and request time-specific changes.

Nate says the workflow uses tools and components such as Hyperframes and Remotion (the latter name may be unclear in the auto-generated subtitles). He claims the setup takes about a minute and that the app works with either Claude or ChatGPT.

Price Mentioned

Nate says Creator Cut is being offered at a $47 presale price, with a planned price of $500 after the presale. These are the creator’s promotional claims in the video.
