Can ChatGPT edit my long video into Shorts or Reels in my editor?
Last updated October 6, 2026
Yes. When connected to tools that can inspect footage and edit it, ChatGPT can find moments in a longer recording and develop them into short videos.
Describe the audience, approximate duration and kind of moment you want. A useful highlight might be a complete answer, a clear demonstration or a concise story with a payoff. You can ask ChatGPT to identify candidates before assembling the clips.
For example: “Find three self-contained product tips from this recording. Turn each into a vertical video under a minute, keeping enough explanation for someone who has not watched the full video.”
With invideo Editor’s MCP connection, ChatGPT can turn your long video into short clips, reframe the shots and add captions. The short versions can sit on separate timelines, preserving your longer edit.
