Has anyone on the panel tried ChatCut, a ChatGPT video editing plugin? Thoughts?

30:02they feel like it's been taken seriously and it's not amateur hour. So in a lot of ways the advancements in the more advancements that could put into a camera that's in the level of a phone that you can put in your pocket allows the journalist or whoever is capturing footage to be more of a chameleon and stand out as much or as little as they'd like and that's a pretty powerful

30:23idea as well. Next question. All right, next up is from Andy Kokendorfer in Vieira, Florida. Andy asks, has anyone on the panel tried ChatCut, a ChatGPT video editing plugin? Thoughts? ChatCut. Courtney? I have not tried it. I guess I could try it if I weren't in the middle of the show here. I think it's browser-based here, and I don't know. Is it a way of, look, adding

30:52AI slop to your to all your videos? Yes. It has a lot of editorial features so that it can make decisions for editing. It can create motion graphics. So if you're generating you want to generate charts or motion graphics to display whatever to emphasize whatever you're speaking about. It can do all of those annoying type of motion graphics that you've seen in all those

31:19keynote and PowerPoint presentations. It does offer text-based editing. So if you go to this website that he put in the link there, you can just try it. This is a, I think this is a way, if this is actually paid for by ChadGPT, I guess it's a way of them adding a new revenue stream. You know, one thing I hate more than anything is these types of subtitles

31:40that I've seen more and more on TikTok, you know, on videos that are on YouTube where it's like, you know, a karaoke screen for just the subtitle captions, and you can't turn them off, and they're highlighting each word, and your eye is going down there constantly. It's so annoying. Gosh. It does AI image generation built in, so, you know, you can create AI slop just like everybody else

32:08and put it right in as you're editing. So it has all those great features. If you want to take – it is like expensive. This is a way – the costs are like $25 a month for the minimum up to about $160 a month. And you have different arrays of features. Here's the price cost if you're paying monthly. So it's going to be kind of pricey if you're – unless you're an influencer or somebody, you know, a major TikTok famous person.

32:42it's going to cost you a lot of money to utilize that. So you better have a good business application or a business that's willing to fork over the $160 to have all the features turned on. So it's going to be kind of easy. From the things that I've seen, the latest Frontier models able to do, not necessarily in video, but just in general,

33:03I think about where was I a year ago, two years ago, things have come so far that I'm actually willing to I would want to give this a look just to see what does the output look like, right? We're not that far away from Will Smith eating spaghetti. Things have gotten a lot better. But if you look at what ChatCut's claiming, it's okay.

33:26We're going to be able to let you edit on the web or with an agent. We're going to allow you to create shorter versions, tighten up edits, turn talking head interview footage into a tighter cut. Like there's a way to interface with a video editing timeline in natural language. So if this ends up in front of anybody at ChatCut, I personally would love to talk to you.

33:52I think it would be really cool to see what are you doing in the background that's enabling this, and what's your methodology and your logic for going through and actually making these cuts and making these decisions, and how much does the user have the ability to tune of, okay, this is how I like you to, I like L cuts and J cuts.

34:12I don't like to do hard cuts here. Oh, well, if you're doing B-roll over a talking head, I want fades in between the B-roll, but I want it to be a hard cut when I go back to talent. And those, if I start to vocalize all those things and give the instructions in natural language, which is it going to make an instructions or a setup.md that's like, okay, this is how I like to edit video.
