Get a finished highlight video from a pile of raw clips
ChatGPT Work now edits the video itself, so you get a cut back, not just notes on what to cut.
Published . Steps as of November 2026.
Can ChatGPT edit my video clips into a short highlight video?
Yes. Attach your clips in ChatGPT Work, pick GPT-6.1 Terra and describe the video you want; it trims and edits the clips into a draft you can adjust. As of October 2026, Work needs a Plus plan or higher. If you only want advice on what to cut, a regular chat can review your clips, but Work is the version that hands back the edited video itself.

Your prompt
Fill in your details. Skip any you like.
ChatGPT opens with your prompt already typed in. It's copied too, just in case.
The prompt that gets copied
Edit the video clips I've attached into one highlight video. What it's for: [VIDEO PURPOSE, e.g. recap of my weekend retreat] Where it'll be posted: [WHERE YOU POST, e.g. Instagram Reels] Target length: [VIDEO LENGTH, e.g. 45 seconds] Feel: [VIDEO MOOD, e.g. warm and upbeat] Please: 1. Watch every clip and list the strongest moments with timestamps before you cut anything. 2. Open with the most eye-catching moment in the first 3 seconds. 3. Cut out shaky shots, long pauses and anything blurry. 4. Keep the clips in an order that tells a simple story: arrive, the main moment, the happy ending. 5. Add short on-screen captions where someone speaks. 6. Export in the right shape for the platform. When you're done, tell me which clips you used, which you left out and why, so I can ask for swaps.
Hand ChatGPT Work your raw phone clips and a short brief. It picks the best moments, trims them and edits a short highlight video you can review and tweak.
