# How to Trim and Cut Clips with ChatGPT

ChatGPT brings an intuitive, natural language approach to video trimming. Describe what you want to keep or remove in plain English, preview the edit plan before applying, and refine cut points through conversational back-and-forth. ChatGPT can also help identify which segments to keep based on your description of the content.

## Setup

{"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}

## Steps

1. Add ToolRouter to ChatGPT using the MCP JSON configuration
2. Share your video and describe what to trim: "Remove the intro and outro from this recording"
3. ChatGPT processes the edit via ToolRouter and delivers the trimmed clip
4. Refine: "Actually, also remove the tangent from minute 12 to 14"
5. Ask for the clip in different formats if needed

## Example Prompt

```
Trim my podcast recording. Cut the first 2 minutes of small talk, remove the 3-minute technical difficulty at 28:00, and cut after the sign-off at 55:30.
```

## Tips

- ChatGPT can help identify which segments to keep based on your description
- Ask for a summary of what was trimmed for your records
- Request both a full trimmed version and individual segment extracts
