ChatGPT 5.6 Edited This Entire Video
Learn how ChatGPT can edit an entire YouTube video using Remotion and Burumi, automatically removing pauses and false starts, changing layouts, adding zooms, and creating motion graphics.
ChatGPT Can Now Edit Entire Videos
This video demonstrates how ChatGPT can be used to automate a large part of the video editing process. The creator explains how newer AI models, motion graphics tools, and MCP-enabled video editing software can reduce video editing time from hours to minutes.
Creating Motion Graphics with Remotion
The video begins by demonstrating Remotion, a plugin that allows ChatGPT to create motion graphics. Users can ask ChatGPT to generate elements such as title cards, animations, and data visualizations and then export them as MP4 videos.
Using Burumi for AI Video Editing
Burumi is introduced as the video editing application that ChatGPT and Claude can control through MCP support. The software provides script-based recording, scene-based video creation, screen and camera recording, layouts, and timeline editing.
The creator explains that Burumi is a paid application and demonstrates how it can be used together with ChatGPT to automate repetitive editing tasks.
Automating Video Editing with ChatGPT
The workflow involves selecting a project folder containing the video files and giving ChatGPT instructions about the desired edits. A custom skill called “edit Broomi video” is used to instruct ChatGPT to remove pauses, false starts, dead air, repeated takes, and spoken editing instructions.
ChatGPT can also choose layouts, add zooms, and create motion graphics based on instructions given during the recording.
How Much Editing Can AI Handle?
In the example shown, ChatGPT reduced a video from approximately 2 minutes and 45 seconds to 1 minute and 26 seconds by removing false starts, repeated takes, instructions, and dead air.
The creator reports that ChatGPT successfully handles roughly 80% of the editing process, while the remaining 20% still requires manual fine-tuning. Examples include correcting unnecessary zooms and adjusting the positioning of zoomed-in sections.
ChatGPT vs Claude for Video Editing
The same workflow can also be performed using Claude. The creator explains that Claude can access the same Burumi AI workspace through Claude Code. In his testing, he personally preferred the results produced by ChatGPT, although this may change as newer AI models are released.
