We’re excited to announce our new CapCut plugin is coming soon to @ChatGPT at CapCutWorldLA.

The plugin brings CapCut's video editing and generation tools alongside ChatGPT. You can start with an idea in ChatGPT, bring it to life with the CapCut plugin right inside ChatGPT, then take your draft video to CapCut's web editor to refine, share and publish.

By bringing the CapCut product you already love and use in ChatGPT, we're making content creation more seamless and efficient.

Good and honestly it's actually good to release but if you want to polish it up, the zooms that it tries to do are not enough of a close up so it starts to become annoying because you can tell that it's an attempt to zoom but the zoom is not a good enough close up. So I would say that it's about 90% done if not 95% done. The flow alone is good

You know it's wild is that I just checked your page out on X and you're literally doing what you just stated that you hate. You're trying to use social proof of other people's success to build your business up that you're promoting.

It's okay to be envious of people but use it as motivation and not as a way to be toxic and a hater.

That's just bad business and turns a lot of people away from purchasing what you're trying to sell.

Do better...

[Ryan Depaul @tagnar]

@robertoblake Honestly, we had people protesting that back then also. You can't please everyone. And usually the ones that are fighting advancements and innovation are just afraid of change or dont like the person who is bringing it.🤷🏾‍♂️

YouTube channel hijacks are on the rise again, it seems. Three Creators I know have been hit this month and had their channels hijacked and stolen.

DO THIS NOW!
Get all of this information and put it somewhere safe that you can quickly access in event of a hijacking.

👉 Full Channel URL: Must be the standard format (e.g., ://youtube.com), not a custom /c/ or legacy /user/ URL.

👉 Channel ID and Handle: Your unique channel identifier and @username handle.

👉 Recovery Email and Phone Number: The original recovery contacts (or a fresh, uncompromised Gmail address you created for YouTube support to communicate with you).

👉 Recent Video ID: The ID or link to a video you recently published on the channel.

👉 IP Address: Your approximate or specific IP address active around the time the hack occurred.

👉 Timestamp of the Hack: The approximate date and time the unauthorized takeover happened.

👉 Pre-Hack Screenshots: Images or proof of your channel name, banner, or dashboard before it was altered.

👉 Description of the Incident: A clear summary of how the compromise happened (for example, a phishing link, fake sponsor email, or stolen session cookie)

If your YouTube channel is hijacked, use the link I'll post here to fill out the hijacked channel recovery form, which will ask for the above information to get the recovery process moving quickly.

Most creators hire too quickly and fire too slowly. There are two common ways we observe this phenomenon.

We'll use video editing as an example:

Scenario 1: A creator is burnt out and working nonstop. What was once a highly creative outlet has turned into a chore. So they hop onto their favorite gig site and outsource to the first decently rated and inexpensive person they can find. Sometimes this works. More often, the creator finds themselves constantly adjusting or correcting sloppy work, or even re-editing half the video themselves after paying the editor.

The creator becomes frustrated because the story isn't told as intended. They find themselves posting content they aren't proud of while dealing with the headache of managing someone else, spending more money, and being even more stressed than they began.

Scenario 2: The creator found an editor early on. The edits weren't amazing, but the editor was affordable and did an OK job. The channel had early growth, yet over time the edits became stale even though the creator improved the quality of the footage and storytelling. The creator needs more nuance, more storytelling. Someone who truly understands the desired style and could produce it with minimal input.

Fast forward a few years, and the creator becomes aware they have outgrown their editor. But they're friends now! They've watched the channel grow together! Perhaps they would even call each other friends. Instead of moving on to an editor who is more appropriate for the stage of the channel, the creator hangs onto the working relationship. Resentment builds, and eventually the relationship blows up or the channel suffers poor growth.

Team issues most frequently arise from two issues: poor communication about expectations or the person is not the right fit. Most of the time when major issues arise, it’s both.

We vastly underestimate how much we need to communicate, and in an attempt to offload the work we rush into team decisions that weren't right to begin with. The cost is emotional and mental, on top of the money spent. And simply because an editor is cheap and available does not mean that the money is well spent. What you may not pay in editing costs, you may pay for in frustration, management overhead, or lack of growth.

Hiring is a tedious process, and when it doesn't work out, it feels like the effort was wasted. Most creators remain in poor team situations because it's a lot of work to start over. Not to mention firing people is wildly uncomfortable.

As painful as it is, and as desperate as you feel the need to outsource the work, hire slowly. Fire quickly when it becomes clear they aren't the right fit. Communicate expectations far more than you feel is necessary. Make your standards abundantly clear, and if those standards aren't consistently met, move on.

A hard conversation today may save a hundred frustrated thoughts and a far worse conversation later.

@robertoblake need to talk about this with you

[Roberto Blake 🇺🇸🇵🇦 Creative Entrepreneur @robertoblake]

AI video editing using real tools like Premiere Pro and DaVinci and Gemini (Antigravity)…

Will Resurrect DAILY CONTENT and bring back DAILY IRL CONTENT (vlog-like content but more polished).

Production + Personality + Presence + Proof of Human = High Status + High Trust.

It will be very similar to the Casey Neistat era.

What goes into the camera will be all that matters, as well as being able to run into your favorite creator on the street or at the airport.

With Packaging thumbnails and Editing videos solved… you’re going to see that PERSONALITY and PRESENCE are what matter for making a human connection through a screen.

And that the longing true fans have a for a human moment and shared experience with their favorite creator is meaningful.

The “HUMAN CRAFT” won’t be in slanting over software in front of a screen…

It will go back to the HUMAN CRAFT of 25 years ago before software are entering…

And the culture of 10-15 years ago when most people hadn’t mastered that software and it kinda got in the way of anything…

With few exceptions … the OG YouTube Stars never mastered video editing, they kept it simple and later the people they hired made it fancy.

The biggest content on YouTube other than Freddy Wong, was the least over-edited.

The beginning of flexing the edits really came to be a 2018-2020 phenomenon. And the lasted through the pandemic and the Mr. Beast Era.

2026-2030 will be the Authenticity Era, and ironically AI plays a role in that…

Where working class and solo content creators who don’t have teams, will have an even playing field where all that matters is what they want to say and what they want to share with you…

And whether or not you connect with that and want connect with them…
