Want to make video clips for TikTok, Reels, or YouTube Shorts but don’t know how to edit, struggle with scripting, and lack time to click through frame by frame? Recently, the collaboration between CapCut and ChatGPT has become a key helper enabling us to easily generate videos simply by"typing commands to AI"only!
Today, the Thairath Online lifestyle team will dive deep into step-by-step instructions, answering all questions about costs, how many times you can use it for free, pricing, and how it differs from the usual app. Let’s explore together!
CapCut is a video creation and editing tool from ByteDance, while ChatGPT helps generate ideas, write scripts, and explain requirements in natural language.
When combined, the goal is to streamline the process from "having an idea" to "getting a video" without needing to edit everything manually from scratch.
The name CapCut VideoGPT was previously used for the GPT that helps create videos and find templates within ChatGPT. But on 28 Oct 2026, news emerged about a new CapCut-ChatGPT integration set to launch in beta in November. Therefore, check your account to see which features you actually have before following the steps.
As of 28 October 2026, CapCut officially announced plans to connect its video editing and creation tools with ChatGPT, but only stated that usage will open soon, without confirming pricing or usage rights for each package.
So, the following methods split into two cases: if your account already has CapCut available to use, and if it does not.
Don’t subscribe to paid packages just because you can’t find CapCut. Use this method instead.
This method lets you start working even if the direct ChatGPT integration isn’t available for your account yet.
A key advantage of ChatGPT is you don’t need technical editing terms; just clearly describe the desired output.
Ideal for portraits, pet photos, or shots you want to bring to life.
"Please create a 5–8 second video from the still image I uploaded, cinematic style, realistic, soft lighting, camera slowly zooming in, natural movement of the subject, preserving facial features, colors, and key details, no alteration of identity, no text overlay, aspect ratio 9:16 for Reels."
(Animating the subject realistically requires image-to-video tools; not all CapCut features support this equally.)
"Create a 20-second lifestyle video from 6 images, warm tone, elegant, minimalistic, arrange images to tell a continuous story, slow camera moves, smooth transitions, short easy-to-read Thai captions, with spacing for visual comfort, vertical 9:16 format."
"Please enhance this video to look more professional, reduce overly long still shots, tighten pacing, use easy-to-read fonts, add Thai subtitles, maintain original color tone, avoid excessive effects."
If the system still cannot directly create or edit videos, you can use these commands with ChatGPT to help storyboard and plan editing, then execute the plan in CapCut.
The most accurate answer is there is no confirmed number of free uses per month for the new CapCut-ChatGPT integration as of 28 Oct 2026, nor clear pricing announcements. Costs must be considered separately for ChatGPT and CapCut usage.
Package (Plan) | Approximate price | What’s included |
Free | $0 (free) | Basic editing functions, free templates |
Pro | $19.99/month (~700–750 baht) | Pro features, premium templates, 1,200 AI credits/month |
Ultra | $79.00/month (~2,800–2,900 baht) | For heavy AI users, 8,645 AI credits/month |
Note: USD prices may vary due to exchange rates, taxes, and promotions. Check final prices on CapCut’s website before payment.
Summary of free usage rights
Advice: Don’t rush to subscribe to CapCut Pro or upgrade ChatGPT just to get CapCut in ChatGPT, as service rights differ and no package guarantees unlocking this integration yet.

For those with computers and mobiles and a free budget, the recommended sequence is
This approach is recommended because animating still images and video editing are separate steps. Some tools animate images but cannot assemble multi-scene videos and export complete finished products.
Making video clips today is easier and more accessible by combining scriptwriting tools like ChatGPT with editing programs like CapCut.
Even though the direct integration between these two programs is still under development, users can immediately leverage each tool’s strengths together. This pairing saves time in ideation and production and broadens creative possibilities for more engaging videos.
