ChatGPT for video editing
ChatGPT writes the script. Zupum does the edit.
Asking ChatGPT to edit a video gets you advice, a shot list and maybe a caption draft - it cannot open your footage and hand back a finished reel. Zupum can: upload a raw clip up to two minutes and the AI returns word-synced captions, cutaways matched to your words, background music, sound effects, transitions and a colour grade.
What a chat assistant can and cannot do
Language models are excellent at words: hooks, scripts, titles, descriptions, caption copy. They are not video pipelines. There is no timeline behind the chat box, no transcription tied to frames, no renderer that burns captions and grades colour and exports an MP4. So the editing hours stay exactly where they were.
- Great for scripts, hooks, titles and descriptions
- No frame-accurate captions from your own audio
- No B-roll placed on the right beat, no music, no colour pass
- Nothing to download at the end but text
The pairing that actually works
Write with a chat assistant, shoot on your phone, then upload to Zupum. The edit is built from your real speech and stays editable layer by layer, with an On/Off switch per section.
- Word-level transcription and 60+ caption styles
- Stock and AI-generated B-roll matched to your sentences
- Background music, sound effects and 30 transitions
- Auto colour grading, noise removal and filler-word cleanup
- Publish-ready thumbnails and a downloadable MP4
- Browser-based on desktop and mobile, first edit free
