Testing ChatCut+Codex: Great for Simple Edits
yihui_indie · x · 2026-07-13
The author tested the ChatCut + Codex plugin for editing talking-head videos today. Initial thoughts:
- For simple footage like basic talking-head edits, the experience is "quite good," scoring around 85.
- For complex tasks with more footage, the overall time spent might actually be longer than editing manually.
- The reason is similar to AI coding: a lot of time is wasted waiting for the AI to work.
He believes this could be the future of video editing and has already subscribed to the $50 plan for a week of intensive use, promising a follow-up review.
