We got a fun challenge from the Botez Sisters: take their raw footage and see what we could turn it into with @OpusClip AI Producer.
Here’s the before & after 👇
And apparently this exact before & after was shown on stage at VidSummit in front of 1,000+ creators?! 👀
Not a bad 5 minutes of editing :)

OpusClip is now available in @ChatGPT!
Clip, edit, and schedule videos for social media, across platforms in one conversation.

My first employee interviewed me for my first podcast episode.
We talked about the beginnings of building a company that now has 20 million users, feeling alone, and being scared of failing the people who trust me.
This is the most raw I’ve ever been online. Stay tuned for future episodes. 🎙️

200 creators. 30+ retro TVs. One Clip Wall. 📺
Created LA brought the creator world and Hollywood together for the first time. At our booth on the Walt Disney Studios lot, we met incredible creators and industry leaders from Disney. Using the OpusClip MCP, we organized and produced hundreds of high-quality clips at a scale that would have otherwise been a logistical nightmare. It was the ultimate test of our own product.
The wall drew a crowd as creators interacted with their content and rediscovered videos from as far back as 15 years ago. Their reactions showed us that the moments we surfaced truly mattered. An insane experience we will not forget.
Thanks @Youshaei & @Disney for putting together such an unforgettable event for creators! 🔥

“You need to get quantity to make quality” 🔥 We interviewed @jennyhoyos at Created in LA!!
Her talk was also amazing, stay tuned!

I built a Grok Bot that automatically clips content for you.
Send it a URL and wake up to clips already posted on X, TikTok, YouTube, Reels, and LinkedIn.
Every clip scored for virality, reframed with speaker tracking, captioned in your brand template, titled to stop the scroll.
Comment "BOT" and I'll send it over + FREE credits (must be following) 👇

While waiting for Codex Astra to reset, I made a fine cut of my boss @opusyoung ’s public YouTube talk 😂
Original: youtube.com/watch?v=V5tG4Icl…
Any guesses how I made it? These two videos looks totally different
Young Zhao retweeted
I made this video with just one prompt 😋
It’s great for people who don’t know how to use AE or aren’t familiar with motion design terminology!
Young Zhao retweeted
this entire video was generated with code btw
even the sound effects. it’s getting crazy out here
saw a huge jump in quality after fable 5.1 and got-6 astra came out
Young Zhao retweeted
I’ve been a creator for 8 years and waited this long for this level of AI video editing.
Introducing AI Producer for ChatGPT, powered by GPT-6 Astra. I dropped in raw footage, gave it simple directions, and it:
> Added my text, fonts and colors
> Sourced and added real image references
> Made it look like my editing aesthetic
> Added music and nailed the pacing
All without me touching the timeline. 😤 Feels surreal.
Young Zhao retweeted
OMG. As a content creator who hates editing… GPT-6 Astra + @OpusClip AI Producer might be my new favorite combo 🤯
We just launched the AI Producer ChatGPT plugin, and the quality jump with Astra is pretty wild.
Same raw footage. Completely transformed.
And yes, this entire video was edited by Astra + AI Producer 👀

I got tired of watching other founders' launch videos look better than mine.
So I built motion templates for Codex and Claude. Paste the prompt, get the video. I'm open-sourcing them as I go, and I'd love feedback from other builders.
Comment "launch" and I'll DM you.

I’ve been creating content for 3+ years and still hate editing.
Now I’m building an AI video editor, and dogfooding it on my own content.
So I’m building @OpusClip AI Producer in public 🫡
Ep. 1: We just made the OpusClip -> AI Producer workflow a lot easier. You can now favorite a clip in OpusClip and import it directly into AI Producer - no downloading and re-uploading.
More building (and dogfooding) to come!

The gap between raw footage and a produced video just disappeared.
AI Producer is available now. 🔥🎬
> Drop in your raw footage
> Chat with it to get exactly the edit you want
> It builds smart, dynamic motion graphics that land on your exact words, maximizing retention
> The timeline's there, you just don't have to touch it
Your content deserves to be seen. Don't let editing hold you back.

Your coding agent can now make videos.
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor to Agent Opus and get back a publish-ready video with music, voiceovers, and captions.
Then, publish or schedule directly to your socials, right from the same workflow.

This entire video was generated with AI (literally 100%)
I used this skill:
npx skills add diffusionstudio/lottie
it’s open-source by @diffusionhq and lets you turn generate lottie animations with code
