Okay, so if you didn't know, ChatGPT can now help you edit videos for you. In this video, I want to show you how you can do the exact same thing. How you can connect ChatGPT to DaVinci and have ChatGPT edit videos for you. Not only that, but I want to test it out. I want to see what's possible. What kind of motion graphics can we create? So, if you want to learn how AI can help you edit videos, this video is for you.
But first, you need to understand that at the moment, this only works with the paid version of DaVinci. And after you have the paid version of DaVinci, you have to connect to the MCP server. Once you do this, you should have the same results I have. All right, before I start, I want to show you the prompt I'm going to be using, and I also want to show you how many credits I have. So, basically, to check your credits, I think you just have to go over here to your account, go to settings, and over here where it says usage and billings, we can see that my plan is the pro plan, which is $100 a month.
If we scroll down over here, we can see that my weekly usage limit is at 48% left. So, I'm going to go back. I'm on CodeX, and I'm using GPT-6 Astra Ultra, right? So, I have it set at Ultra. If you're using something else, and you don't have it set at Ultra, it might not work. It might be slower. You might get a different result. Also, your computer matters over here, because it's using your computer to create these graphics.
Now, here's the prompt I'm going to be sending, and I'm basically asking for a 15-second animation that has like that specific 2D style, for example, Iman Gadzhi uses over here. And I want the animation to be of a person inside an apartment. The camera zooms out, and then it says subscribe to Danny Wyatt, because why not? So, I'm going to send this prompt, and that's it. Let's see what's going to happen. I'm just going to leave my mouse over here, and I'm going to speed up the video as much as possible, but at the end, I'm going to show you how much time it took to create this video.
So, for example, over here, you can see it's 5:00 p.m., 5:02 minutes. So, at the end of this video, I'm going to show you the time, so you know exactly how long it took to create this motion graphic, and I'm also going to show you how many usage credits I have left. So, let's speed up the video. >> [music] [music] >> So, I just came back to the computer and it seems that the video is ready. I have no idea when it's ready.
I'm going to have to check post-production. Right now, it's 5:22 p.m. And so, let's go ahead and check out the video. I'm very curious. It actually looks pretty good already. It's a little bit laggy because we're inside DaVinci. Now, one thing I noticed I don't like the "Subscribe to Danny Wyatt over here" font. This is something I would go in and change myself. But the illustration itself, it's actually pretty amazing.
I also don't like the fact that nothing over here is moving. It looks more like a photo. But if I want, I can go back to ChatGPT and tell it to add some motion. And that's exactly what I'm going to do. But before that, let's also check the usage. So, how much did this cost to create? So, if you go over here to settings and we check out billing, we can see that I have 45% left. That's pretty okay in my opinion so far.
Let's go back to the app and I'm going to send them send a message to ChatGPT and ask it to add a little bit of motion. Could you please add a little bit of motion to the 2D illustrations? For example, make him type on the keyboard or move the mouse. Just make it feel a little bit more dynamic. So, I'm going to send this prompt. I'm going to come back once it's ready. >> [music] >> All right, I'm back. ChatGPT seems to not be ready, but I do see that it rendered the second video, which I think means it's ready.
Right now, it's 5:31 p.m. Let's check out the end result. Let me play it. But let me actually play the rendered version because inside DaVinci, it's pretty laggy. So, let's check out the rendered video. So, you can see over here the hand it's typing on the keyboard. And honestly, this looks pretty good. The plant is moving a little bit. In my opinion, it did a pretty good job. I think in total it took like 20 minutes or something like that.
Let's check the usage over here. So, for the weekly usage limit, we have 44% left. Let's go ahead and create something else. But, before we start a new project, I would like to check out the fusion nodes. I'm curious how the fusion nodes look like. So, wow, this looks crazy. This looks like made by a robot. Like, come on. Tell me what human will create something like this. [laughter] Just look at this. Oh my god. Oh my god.
But, yeah. Let's go ahead and create something else. Now, before I start again, I want to show you how many credits I have left, like how much percentage I have left. So, if we go over here the percentage, we see we have 44% left. Now, let's go back to ChatGPT and here's what I want to create. I want to create a motion graphic where the background is purple, has beautiful gradients, and there's a line that goes from the bottom left and in a beautiful curved way and it hits three dots that says step one, step two, step three.
Let's see how ChatGPT Astra Ultra can handle this. You can see the time, it's 5:50 p.m. >> [music] >> All right. So, let's see. Wow, I just got to my back to my computer and it's literally rendering right now. It's at 46% and from what I'm seeing on the screen, I already like it. Now, as for the time, as you can see over here down below, it's 6:00 p.m. Literally, 6:00 p.m. Now, let's check out the animation. I'm going to play it over here just for a second just so you can see it's literally inside DaVinci.
The line goes really nice. Oh my god, I actually like this animation. Let's go to fusion over here to check how the fusion tab looks. Again, just a crazy fusion tab, just like before. A human can't make this. A human will not make fusion nodes like this, okay? Now, let's check out the actual animation. Yeah, I already like this. As I said, I don't like how small the dots are and how thin the line is, but overall, I really, really like this.
I mean, it did a great job. Um as I said, you can go back to ChatGPT and modify things. But, let's go back to ChatGPT and see how much did it cost. So, I'm going to go back here to my profile settings and if I scroll down, 42% left. Now, let's go ahead and try to create something else. For this next animation, what I want to create is two warships firing at each other. I want the colors to be blue. As you can see, this is probably right here, like gradient blue, just like the first animation.
And basically, these two ships are firing at each other. I'm going to just leave the computer and leave my mouse over here and let ChatGPT do its thing. I will see you when this is ready. >> [music] >> All right, so I'm back. I have no idea how long this took. It's 7:13 p.m. as you can see over here. And from what I see on the screen, I'm actually impressed. Um this looks pretty good. First, let's check out the final result over here in ChatGPT because this is the final render.
Let me make full screen and let's play this. So, we have two battleships. I don't really like how the freaking bullets, like the freaking ammo hits the water, but we can obviously fix this with ChatGPT. We can tell it that we want the bullets to hit the other ship and actually break it. But, I'm actually impressed with the quality. Like, the these ships have a lot of detail and they look pretty good. Like, it's it's hard to tell this is AI slop, right?
This is pretty interesting. So, all we have to do is just fix how the bullets land. And I obviously it's pretty easy to fix this. I'm not going to go ahead and fix it because by now, you should already understand that ChatGPT is pretty much able to fix those things. Um what I want to do instead is go into the fusion over here to see the nodes and how they look. So, oh my god, yeah. So, look at the nodes. This is not how a human is going to create a notes.
I've been saying this a lot, but come on, just look at this. Like you have to be crazy to think this is what a human will create. Just look at these notes. Let's go check the ChatGPT usage now, because I want to see how many credits we have left, how much percentage we have left. So, I'm going to go over here to settings. Usage and billing, scroll down, and we have 35% left. That's actually pretty impressive. As you can see, the time is the same over here.
We have the time over here. This is actually pretty impressive. Like I thought I'm going to have like 30% left or 25% left. I'm very impressed with this. I mean, we're at the beginning of something that will completely change how video editors edit. Now, some people were saying that they tried it and it was slow, but I don't think it's slow. I think you're using the wrong model or you're using ChatGPT the wrong way. Some people think that just by prompting ChatGPT to connect to some program, it's going to connect.
But what ChatGPT does, it's actually just control your computer. The reason why it's so fast inside DaVinci is because DaVinci has a dedicated MCP, which makes things much faster. That is why this only works with a DaVinci paid version. Now, here's what I want to do. I want to see if ChatGPT and Claude can actually edit an entire video. And what I mean by edit an entire video, I mean, I want to see if I put in some footage, let's say I put in 12-minute footage, and all the graphics are going to be created by ChatGPT.
Let's see if that's possible. Now, here's what I want to do. I have this video of me that's 12 minutes long. My last upload on YouTube is my best As you can see, all I do in this video is talk. >> We put more effort into this. >> me talking, and there's no footage, there's no visuals, there no graphics, no illustrations. I'm scrolling through the video, as you can see, and there's no graphics. Just me talking. And what I want to do is I'm going to drag and drop this video over here.
Basically, the video already has cuts. I already cut the video, but I don't have any graphics. And what I want is for ChatGPT to add all the graphics and illustrations in my video to also match the audio. But for that, I'm going to be using Higgs Field, and here's why. The reason why I want to use Higgsfield is because with Higgsfield, I can generate the images, the illustrations, and ChatGPT can just add them in DaVinci.
Now, if you want to try this yourself, there's going to be a link down in the description of this video to Higgsfield. Once you click on that link, it should send you to that Higgsfield dashboard over here. On the Higgsfield dashboard, what I want you to do is click over here at the top where it says MCP. Once you click on MCP, you can literally just click on this button over here which says add Higgsfield plugin, and it's going to automatically add the Higgsfield plugin to your ChatGPT.
Now, for this to work, you need to be logged in on Higgsfield, and you also need to be logged in on ChatGPT. That's it. Once you do this, you will have the Higgsfield skill installed on your ChatGPT. Now, once you have the skill installed, you can go back to DaVinci, you can open ChatGPT, and now we can ask ChatGPT to edit this video. And that's exactly what I'm going to be doing. So, so I'm going to send a vocal message and show you the exact prompt I'm sending because this is not even a prompt.
I'm simply just asking. Now, before I start, I do want you to see the time. It's 7:20 p.m. And my usage credits right now, I'm going to check them once again. They are at 35% just so you know and you understand how much this costs and how much time this takes. So, I've created a new project inside DaVinci. It's called AI Test 5. Now, I dropped in a video file of me that's 12 minutes long. Now, again, I'm using GPT-6 Astra Ultra.
The time it's 7:23 p.m. Over here we have DaVinci and ChatGPT already started working. As I said, I'm going to leave the computer and let ChatGPT edit my video. >> [music] >> All right. So, the render is almost ready, and I'm so excited to see this. As you've seen, I haven't moved my mouse. You can pause the video on the speed up and check ChatGPT working. I haven't done anything. Now, as you can see ChatGPT is not ready, but I think the video is ready.
Now, the first thing I want to check out is the time. As you can see over here, it's 8:02 minutes. And if I remember correctly, I started this around 7:30 p.m., which means adding footage to this entire video took 30 minutes. Now, the second thing I want to check is how many credits we spent to add footage. So, let's go over here, go to settings, usage and billing, and let's see how many credits we have left. We have 27 credits left, which honestly is pretty good because we just added footage to the entire video.
But, we did use Hicksfield to create these images. Now, I'm not sure how many images there are, but if there's 70 images, each image I think is like four credits, so it can be around 300 to 500 credits. Now, let's minimize the ChatGPT window, and let's check this out because I'm super curious. It does look promising. It cropped my video. It added round corners over here, and I'm on one side. And on the other side, I have all these graphics over here.
And you can see we have all the graphics over here created with Hicksfield. Um I think if I go back to ChatGPT, we can see all the graphics here created with Hicksfield. Let me zoom out on the timeline. And as you can see, all the graphics are already added, and this literally took like 30 minutes, 40 minutes. That's just crazy. Now, what I want to do is check out if the graphics fit with my audio. So, let me play the video for a little bit and see how it looks.
My last upload on YouTube is my best performing upload so far. As you can see, it's a one out of 10 upload. It even got those cute fireworks on it. And the feeling you get when your video performs good on YouTube is amazing. But, so there's a graphic each 15 seconds, I think. But, before I also like that they fade in and they fade out. So, so I didn't ask ChatGPT to do that, but it automatically did it, which is pretty cool.
As you can see over here. Before I was able to achieve good results on YouTube, my videos were always getting stuck below 1,000 views. And if you're watching this video, I'm pretty sure you can really relate. Stuck below 1,000 views. This actually looks pretty good because I know a lot of YouTube channels that usually have this format where they have graphics or text on one side, and they have their webcam on the other side.
So, for example, Ed Lauren over here who has 103,000 subscribers. If we go to his channel and we check one video, we will see that he has this style of videos. He basically has his webcam over here on one side, and over here he has text where he has graphics. And a lot of big YouTubers actually use this formal style, which is why I think this is pretty cool because, as you can see, the entire video has graphics over here on one side, and it has my webcam over here.
Now, let me just go over here at the middle and see how it looks over here in the middle if the graphics still sync with my audio. That's what I want to know. So, I'm going to play it from here. But you're really just listing events. There's no tension, no conflict, and no reason for the viewer to care about what happens next. Your video becomes very predictable. So, instead of your video becomes very predictable, and the graphic says predictability. sound like this.
This happened, but because this happened, something went wrong. Therefore, this person had to do something else. But And this one also shows exactly what I'm talking about. This happened, but this happened, therefore, right? So, then that created another Like, for example, even Ali Abdaal over here with almost 7 million subscribers uses this style to make videos. You can see he has his webcam on one side, and on the other side he shows graphics, he shows videos, he shows text.
This style seems to work. And ChatGPT connected to DaVinci seems to be able to create this style pretty efficiently. Now, if you want to learn how ChatGPT can help you edit videos inside CapCut, you might want to watch this video over here because inside this video I'm going to show you how ChatGPT can edit videos for you inside CapCut. It can create motion graphics, it can add footage, and many more things. So, if that sounds interesting and you're a CapCut user, you might want to click on this video over here.
