— Может ли ChatGPT и Claude монтировать видео
0:00Right now , every reel is telling us : "
0:02Now ChatGPT , just like Claude , can edit
0:04your videos . "
0:05I’ve calculated the specific
0:07difference in price and time for
0:08editing reels between a real person and
0:10the Claude AI .
0:11I’ll show you how I make 15 reels in
0:13a single evening .
0:13And in this video , I’ll provide a
0:15step-by-step guide on what you need to
0:17do to start editing your videos with AI
0:19. What types of AI-assisted editing are
0:21there , anyway ? Which ChatGPT and Claude
0:23plans will you need to edit at least
0:24one video ? And in the end , we’ll
0:26conclude whether it’s true that video
0:28editors are no longer needed and AI
0:29does everything for us . My name is
0:31Alexander Croft . I’ve been blogging
0:33for 12 years . I have over 400,000
0:35followers on social media . And in the
0:37last year , I’ve been actively
0:38integrating AI into my business
0:39processes , blog management , marketing ,
0:41sales , and even my daily life . That
0:43includes learning English . Instead of a
0:45human assistant , I now have an AI
0:46assistant . And I will be sharing cases
0:48like these in all my future videos . So ,
— 4 вида монтажа с нейросетями
0:50I identify four main use cases for
0:52using AI in editing . The first and
0:55simplest one is what we’ll be looking
0:56at today . This is where you do almost
0:59nothing ; you just upload the necessary
1:01materials to Claude or ChatGPT , give
1:03instructions by voice , meaning you
1:05interact with the material minimally
1:07and get an edit . You look at what
1:10turned out , make edits , and then get
1:11the final version . The second method is
— Claude и ChatGPT в Premiere Pro и DaVinci Resolve
1:14the professional one . This is where we
1:15connect the same Claude and ChatGPT
1:17directly to professional software . That
1:19includes Adobe Premiere and , for
1:21example , DaVinci Resolve , where AI
1:23controls your editing software and has
1:25a much wider range of tools . And most
1:28importantly , the editor doesn't just
1:30get a finished result that is hard to
1:32influence ; they can make their own
1:33adjustments and fix micro-details . And
1:35most likely , I will film my next video
1:38about this . There are more and more
1:40editors appearing now where AI is built
1:42directly into the interface from the
1:43start , which implies that we work with
1:45the AI first and then finish things up
1:47by hand . Again , I will film an overview
1:50of such programs in the near future .
— B-roll и инфографика в видеогенераторах
1:51The third way to use AI for editing
1:53concerns not the editing itself , but
1:55the creation of B-roll and infographics
1:57in video generators . Such animations
1:59allow you to make your videos much
2:01richer . For this , an image is generated
2:03, usually in ChatGPT or Midjourney . And
2:05then it is animated in Kling , Luma , or
2:07Google Veo . And the last , fourth type
— Video-to-Video: мультикамера из одной камеры
2:09is video-to-video . This is when you
2:11take a finished video file and use an
2:13AI to replace specific elements . You
2:16can change clothing , change the
2:17interior , or even change camera angles
2:19that weren't there originally . In other
2:21words , you create a multi-camera edit ,
2:23even though you only shot with one
2:24camera . But today we are looking at the
— Что установить: Codex или Claude Code
2:26simplest , most basic type of editing ,
2:27which is actually necessary for most
2:29people . To do this , first , we obviously
2:31need to install either ChatGPT or
2:33Claude . Next , we move on . If we are
2:35working in ChatGPT , we go to the Code
2:37Interpreter section . If we are working
2:38in Claude , we go to the Claude Code
2:40section . And here , for our models to
2:42learn how to edit , we need to install a
2:44few tools . I will briefly talk about
2:46each tool so you understand what is
2:47under the hood and why these tools are
— FFmpeg — медиадвижок для нейросети
2:49needed at all . The first one is the
2:50media engine . It is a large media
2:52powerhouse called FFmpeg . It allows our
2:54AI models to work with video material ,
2:56because neither ChatGPT nor Claude can
2:58handle video on their own . And FFmpeg
3:00is the engine for the AI that allows it
3:02to actually edit video , trim it , change
3:04the bitrate , change the aspect ratio ,
3:06and change the frame rate . So , FFmpeg
3:08is actually a very powerful tool that
3:10you will likely need for many other
3:12things in the future . By the way , it is
3:14worth noting that YouTube , Netflix ,
3:15Instagram , Facebook , and many other
3:17social networks and media resources
3:19operate using this engine . The next
— Whisper — как нейросеть «слышит» видео
3:21thing we need to install is Whisper .
3:22Whisper is a local LLM model that
3:24weighs 3 gigabytes , and it serves one
3:26function . It converts audio into text .
3:28This model is necessary because AI
3:30models are not like humans . They don't
3:32cut the audio track by ear ; they cut
3:34based on the text . First , they get the
3:36audio track extracted from your video ,
3:38transcribe it into text with timestamps
3:40, look at what is extra or where to cut
3:42, and then proceed to edit the final
3:44file . Well , the Whisper model is
3:46actually very versatile , and it allows
3:48you to do things like this . I
3:49practically don't type on the keyboard
3:51anymore ; I just speak everything , and
3:53it all gets converted into text .
3:55Whisper is running under the hood here ,
3:57and with its help , you can convert any
3:58audio or video files into text . For
4:00example , you had a call with a client
4:02and want to get a transcript of that
4:04call . You upload the call to your AI ,
4:06and with the help of Whisper , it will
4:07turn it into text , mark the timestamps ,
4:09highlight key points , and all this is
4:11possible precisely thanks to this model
— Черновой монтаж: дубли, паузы, запинки
4:13. And these two tools will allow you to
4:15do the editing when you have your 47
4:17takes , when you have constant stumbles ,
4:19when you have pauses , when you say " um "
4:21— the AI cuts all of that out , and you
4:23get a clean , ready-to-go final video .
4:26And the AI actually handles this task
4:28almost perfectly . In other words , we
4:30can confidently hand over all the rough
4:32editing to neural networks and get an
4:34almost ideal version as a result .
4:35Sometimes I don’t even edit anything
4:37at all and just leave it as it is . But
— HyperFrames или Remotion для инфографики
4:40we need a third tool for creating
4:41infographics , because a clean ,
4:43high-quality video is certainly good ,
4:44but it will be incredibly boring if we
4:46don't have some additional elements to
4:48hold attention . And so , for this , we
4:51need to install one of two elements .
4:53Either Hyperframes or Remotion . I'll
4:55say right away that most people now
4:56prefer working specifically with
4:58Hyperframes , because it was originally
4:59adapted for working with agents . It’s
5:01lighter , and the most interesting thing
5:03is that it was released by the company
5:05HeyGen — the company famous for its
5:06digital avatars . And that is exactly
5:08where the difficulties begin , because
— Где нейросети ошибаются: всё решает промпт
5:10all infographics are , in reality , a
5:12matter of taste , and they will depend
5:14very heavily on how well you can
5:16explain to the AI what exactly you want
5:18: what design , what fonts , what styles ,
5:20and what animations . And all of this
5:23will depend both on the model you are
5:25using , on how good it is , and on how
5:27well and correctly you described your
5:28wishes to the model , and how detailed
5:30and accurate your guidelines were . And
5:33this is precisely where AI messes up
5:34the most — or rather , it's not the AI
5:36itself that messes up , but the AI
5:38operators , because in this case ,
5:40everything depends on how well you
5:41perform your own work . For example ,
5:43look at these two identical videos . At
5:45first , I made this video , and I
5:47didn’t like it because there were too
5:48few elements in it . Well , from an
5:50illustrative standpoint , I needed there
5:52to be as many as possible — more
5:54pop-ups , fly-ins , banners , and
5:56everything else . I provided a new
5:57prompt and got a completely different
5:59result . So , in this case , it will
6:01depend on how you construct your
6:02prompts and then how you turn that
6:04prompt into a cool , powerful skill that
6:06you can combine to ensure you have a
6:08repeatable , stable , and consistent
6:10design time after time , so that nothing
— Установка одной командой
6:12changes from video to video and you
6:13always have a recognizable style . Yes ,
6:15to install all three of these elements :
6:17FFMPEG , Whisper , and Hyperframes , you
6:19actually just need to enter this one
6:21command . I will provide it to you in my
6:23Telegram channel . Accordingly , you type
6:25it in , your AI will ask for your
6:26permission a few times , and it will
6:28simply install everything for you by
6:29default . The next step is to prepare
— Готовим папку с исходниками
6:31all the necessary material , put it all
6:33into a folder , and give it to the AI .
6:34So , here is what the material for one
6:36of the reels looks like . And perhaps
6:38you came to this video from one of
6:39these reels . There . So , there are seven
6:41takes here . And the total duration of
6:43these clips is , I think , over 7 minutes
6:45. Although , in the end , this reel only
6:48took up 1 minute . There are logos here ,
6:51there is sound design , and accordingly ,
6:53I then pass this folder on to the AI . I
— Промпт и ТЗ на монтаж
6:56go to CLDcode or Codex and select the
6:58necessary folder here . In this case , it
7:01is " Editing 2 " . I upload it and then I
7:04write a prompt about what I want to see
7:05and what type of edit I want to get in
7:07this case . And here , besides the model
7:09itself that we choose , as I said , it is
7:12very important what we tell the AI .
7:14Because in this case , a person who
7:15understands editing , who can describe
7:17their desires , convey them to the AI ,
7:19and explain what they want , will
7:21obviously get a much better result . And
7:23, as I say , the final result will
7:25depend on how correctly you compose the
7:27brief , that is , how correctly you write
7:29the prompt . You can grab the prompt I
7:31composed and work with in my Telegram
7:33channel and , accordingly , make your own
7:35adjustments to it later . When you
7:36experiment , when you try it out and you
7:38like something or dislike something .
7:40You can tell the AI directly by voice :
7:41" Look , I want to fix these kinds of
7:43errors in this prompt . This , this , this
7:45, and this were done . I want it
7:46differently , I want other colors , I
7:48want other things . " And you simply
7:50dictate it by voice . Accordingly , the
7:52AI creates a new prompt , you copy it
7:54into a new session , provide a new
7:55folder there , and , accordingly , send it
— Сколько монтирует и как грузит Mac
7:58for editing . After that , the AI starts
8:01working , and actually , the time to
8:03execute and create your video can be ,
8:05uh , very different because it also
8:06depends on the power of your computer ,
8:08since a lot happens on the resources of
8:11the Mac itself in this case , because
8:13things like audio-to-text conversion ,
8:15processing , and subsequent stitching ,
8:17video , and editing — all of that is
8:18done by the computer's power . And
8:22sometimes , actually , even my computer
8:24sometimes turns on the fan because the
8:26load is quite high . Your final edit
8:28will depend precisely on this . And
8:32obviously , the more effects you specify
8:34— for example , in this case , my prompt
8:36included a request for words to appear
8:38behind my head . This means the neural
8:42network has to find the person ,
8:44rotoscope them — yes , create a mask —
8:46and overlay text , infographics , and so
8:49on behind the person . And this also
8:51takes up quite a lot of resources . And
8:53then , in this instance , Claude produces
8:55all these different sketches . It
8:58watches , checks itself , and ultimately
9:00delivers this kind of file . Once you
— Правки по таймкодам
9:03have received the final edit , you can
9:05make adjustments . That is , you can
9:06explain to the neural network what
9:08needs to be done and how to change it .
9:09For instance , at the thirty-fifth
9:11second , I don't like how the word flew
9:12in . At the fortieth second , I want us
9:14to replace , for example , the types of
9:16infographics and change them to
9:17something else . At the fiftieth second ,
9:19I want to change this , right ? So , you
9:22explain it in a list — 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 —
9:24and send it back for re-editing .
9:27Basically , this is actually the maximum
9:29amount of control we have .
9:31Unfortunately , we cannot — we don't
9:33have the ability to manually tweak
9:35anything . And as I said , this is a
9:37fairly primitive and the simplest type
9:39of editing . And , if we are talking
— Итоги: нейросеть как камера в телефоне
9:43about how good it is — if we were to
9:45sum it up — I can actually compare
9:46neural networks to the advent of phone
9:48cameras . That is , while previously , to
9:52be a photographer , you first of all had
9:54to own a camera — and , in essence ,
9:55photographers were distinguished from
9:57everyone else by the fact that they at
9:59least possessed the equipment — when
10:01decent cameras appeared in phones , the
10:03ability to take photos became available
10:05to absolutely everyone . But
10:07professional photographers can still
10:09create amazing photos on a phone , while
10:11those who just use the phone camera ,
10:13naturally , won't reach that level .
10:15It’s the same thing here . In this
10:17case , the neural network is just a tool
10:19. And naturally , if a person is a
10:20professional — if they understand the
10:22basics of editing , typography ,
10:24infographics , how to combine fonts ,
10:26what colors are appropriate , how to do
10:28things in general , and what kind of
10:29effects exist — then , of course , they
10:31will be able to get much more out of
10:33this tool . And if we are talking
10:35specifically about this format — the
10:37most primitive one , where we have
10:38minimal ability to do anything by hand
10:40— then I can say that , overall , it's
10:42already quite decent . And for the
10:45majority , this level is probably above
10:46average compared to what most editors
10:48on the market are doing . Therefore ,
— Заменят ли нейросети монтажёров
10:50objectively , we can already say today
10:52that neural networks are gradually
10:54beginning to displace video editors .
10:56This is my subjective opinion , but I
10:58see it in the example of other fields ,
11:00including design . The designer I worked
11:02with for many years . Now I reach out to
11:04her much less often . And among other
11:05things , she receives fewer and fewer
11:07orders , because many have already
11:09replaced design . Yes , it won't be
11:10something masterful , but it will be
11:12above average . And so I see the same
11:13thing happening in editing now , because
11:15neural networks are already starting to
11:16push this profession out from the
11:17bottom . But , as they say , neural
11:19networks won't replace experts . Neural
11:21networks will replace those experts who
11:22don't know how to use neural networks .
— Что ещё автоматизировать нейросетями
11:24And in fact , using neural networks for
11:26editing is just one way to optimize
11:28your routine , because now AI allows you
11:30, for example , to analyze competitors
11:32in tens of minutes rather than a week ,
11:34as it really took before . Neural
11:36networks allow you to collect an
11:37infinite number of ideas for your
11:39content in Reels , posts , Telegram , X ,
11:41Threads , create scripts for YouTube
11:43videos , conduct entire large-scale
11:45studies on specific topics , and
11:46automate business routines , all reports
11:48, P & L , cash flow statements , and all
11:50necessary things . If you happen to keep
11:52these , then neural networks handle them
11:54simply perfectly . Creating websites ,
11:56creating carousels , or , let's say , you
11:58have some ideas and you don't know who
12:00to think through them with or how to
12:02develop them . With neural networks ,
12:04using certain skills , you can pull a
12:06lot of different information out of
12:07yourself . You can directly create and
12:11brainstorm with neural networks and
12:12extract your ideas and turn them into
12:14finished content or some business
12:15projects that you might have been
12:17planning to launch for a long time . And
12:19I teach all of this in my monthly
12:21master group . Therefore , if you want to
12:23use neural networks to the fullest and
12:24integrate them into content creation ,
12:26your business processes , and your daily
12:28routine in general , write to me on
12:29Telegram , and I will send you the
— Тарифы: ChatGPT Plus или Claude за $200
12:31details . And lastly , probably the most
12:33interesting part , which plans are
12:34suitable for editing your videos .
12:37Actually , the news here isn't very good
12:39, because for example , the Plus plan on
12:41ChatGPT — the $ 20 plan — isn't capable
12:43of editing even a one-minute video .
12:46That is , I have 7 minutes of raw
12:48material to start with . Yes , I have a
12:52fairly complex prompt where , as I
12:53mentioned , things like text elements
12:55popping up behind my head and so on
12:57require about two , sometimes even three
13:00five-hour sessions , five-hour limits ,
13:02just to edit a single one-minute video .
13:06Therefore , in this case , my setup
13:08handles it , of course , much better . It
13:10edits several videos in a row , but I
13:12have the 200 - dollar plan there . But on
— Окупается ли подписка
13:14the other hand , as I always say , it’s
13:16not a question of the subscription cost
13:18, but a question of how much this work
13:20is actually worth . Because to edit , for
13:22example , a video like this , it would
13:23already cost , well , at least 20 dollars
13:25. And I certainly make a huge number of
13:27such videos a month on the 200 - dollar
13:29subscription , plus additional work . So ,
13:31everyone has to make that decision for
13:33themselves . And all the information
13:34from this video , all the prompts ,
13:36everything you need to install , is in
13:37my Telegram channel . The link is in the
