Best ChatGPT Plugins for Video Creation and Editing
ChatGPT can write a script on its own. With a video plugin you also get the video: generated clips, an AI presenter, edits to your own recordings and a voiceover. Start with one of these five.
- Runway: generating and editing clips with AI
- Higgsfield: video ads from a product photo
- HeyGen: AI avatars and talking-head videos
- Descript: editing podcasts and recordings
- invideo: a long video from one prompt
How we picked. We check the ChatGPT directory every hour. We rank the plugins for each task by how often people search for them with ChatGPT. Ties go to the directory’s Featured and home page picks, then to the plugins ChatGPT offers on its own in conversations.
1. Runway
Best for generating and editing clips with AI
Runway turns text or a photo into video, animates a still image and makes targeted edits to footage you have. It expands a clip to a new aspect ratio, upscales it, converts it to HDR and removes the background.
For marketing it builds multi-shot story videos and product ads, and it translates an ad into another language. You add music, sound effects and a voiceover in the same chat. People search for Runway with ChatGPT more than for any other video tool. Your results stay private in your Runway workspace, and you pay on runway.com.

2. Higgsfield
Best for video ads from a product photo
Start from an idea, a product photo or a reference image and pick a preset. From one product shot Higgsfield makes short video ads with different hooks, or a full set of promo images and clips.
It produces UGC-style reviews, unboxings, tutorials and try-ons with the same AI presenter in each, and writes the script, narration and subtitles. Ad Multiplier makes variations of a video you have for different audiences, and the editor adds animated text, transitions and motion graphics.

3. HeyGen
Best for AI avatars and talking-head videos
HeyGen makes videos with AI presenters. Pick an avatar and a voice from your library, or create a Digital Twin of yourself to present your script on camera. HeyGen translates videos into other languages and keeps your templates and brand assets in one place.
For a short clip without a presenter, it generates video from a prompt with its own model. ChatGPT names HeyGen when you ask which plugin can make or edit video.

4. Descript
Best for editing podcasts and recordings
Descript edits video you direct through chat. Hand it a podcast episode or a webinar and ask it to clean up the audio, cut filler words, add captions and B-roll, or pull the five best clips for social media.
Studio Sound removes echo and background noise from a recording. Descript also translates and dubs a video into several languages, or makes a new one from a prompt. ChatGPT names it next to Runway and HeyGen when you ask for a plugin to edit video.

5. invideo
Best for a long video from one prompt
invideo turns a prompt into a finished video of any length and handles the script, visuals, voiceover and music. Ask for a five-minute explainer on why we celebrate Christmas, or a one-minute promo for a moving company with a link to its site.
Pick it when you want a complete video and don’t want to choose shots or models yourself. For short ads and clips, Runway and Higgsfield give you more control.
