Easy Reels in ChatGPT · New in Ultra
Edit your videos by talking to ChatGPT
Add the Easy Reels MCP server to ChatGPT, say what the video is for, and get a finished MP4 back. ChatGPT writes the edit. Easy Reels renders it with the same fonts and filters you use in the app.
Part of Ultra and Foundation · Added under Plugins as a custom MCP server
Use the clips from Saturday's opening and the two photos of the menu. Make a 30-second vertical reel: the ribbon cutting first, the busiest moments after, menu photos at the end. Upbeat, warm colours, our logo top right, and "Open every day from 8" on the last shot.
6 videos · 2 photos · 1 songI looked through the clips first and found the ribbon cutting at 0:42 in the second video. The cut opens on it, then the counter and the full room, with the menu photos easing in at the end. Warm grade, logo in the corner, your line on the closing shot. Rendering now.
9:16 · 30 s · renderingEasy Reels MCP turns ChatGPT into your video editor. It is an MCP server: one address, no API key, and it works in Claude, ChatGPT and any other app that supports the protocol. You describe the video in the chat, ChatGPT decides how it is cut and how it looks, and Easy Reels renders it as a 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9 MP4 of up to 3 minutes. It needs no template and no beat grid, and it is included in the Ultra plan.
How it works
Connect. Describe. Watch it come back edited.
You stay in ChatGPT. Nothing to install, no timeline to learn.
Connect it once
Add https://mcp.easyreels.io/mcp in ChatGPT, sign in to Easy Reels and choose Allow. Takes a minute; the steps are below.
Say what the video is for
Who it is for, how long, which shots matter, the mood, the words on screen. Plain language, the way you would brief an editor.
ChatGPT writes the edit
It looks through your footage, picks the moments and puts them in order, then adds transitions, text and a look from your fonts and filters. No template and no beat grid.
Easy Reels renders it
The edit becomes an MP4, saved in My Generations and on the MCP page in the app. Ask for changes and it renders again.
What ChatGPT can do with your footage
A free-form edit, every time
Templates are great when the next video looks like the last one. This is for the video that does not: a recap, a launch, a client cut, a story told in a different order.
Any of four shapes
9:16, 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9, chosen per video, up to 3 minutes long.
Trims and speed
The exact part of each clip, slowed down or sped up from a quarter to four times.
Transitions
Hard cuts, fades, dissolves, wipes, slides, zooms and more, per scene.
Photos that move
A slow zoom or pan on a still, so a photo holds its place in a video.
Sound your way
The clips' own audio, a music track, both mixed, or no sound at all. Loudness is evened out.
Your text
Titles and captions in the same 100+ fonts as the app, with your uploaded fonts on Ultra.
Your look
The app's filters and LUTs, your own LUTs and your saved colour adjustments.
Logos and overlays
A logo or a photo placed on top, for as long as you want it there.
Your templates, from the chat
Or let it run the templates you already have
For the video you post every day, ChatGPT works with your saved Easy Reels templates instead of editing from scratch. Same templates, same results as the Generate button in the app.
Generate on demand
One reel, carousel or single image from a template, drawn exactly like the Generate button does.
Batches
Up to 50 at a time into a new folder in My Generations. It asks before it starts.
Copy in bulk
Paste a list of hooks or slides and it fills the template's copy, field by field.
Edit the recipe
Add a text or a logo, change the filter, the fonts, the audio or the cuts.
New templates
Build a reel, carousel or single image template from a description, then refine it in the app.
Nothing lost
It asks before deleting a template or removing copy, and every change opens in the app's editor.
Long videos
It finds the part you meant
Ask for "the bit where she explains the pricing" and ChatGPT looks before it cuts. It reads frames from the video, each marked with its time, and a transcript of what is said with timestamps. Then it trims to that moment instead of guessing. When word timings are available it can start a cut on the first word of a sentence and end it on the last.
Your footage
Your library, your rules
Upload the clips in the Easy Reels app; they are ready a few seconds later and ChatGPT can use everything in the workspace. Say which clips you mean, or let it look through the library. ChatGPT never reads the library all at once: it looks at 50 files at a time and keeps notes on what each one shows. Exclude any folder on the MCP page in the app, and say "switch to the Acme workspace" to work in another brand.

FAQ
Questions, answered
What is Easy Reels in ChatGPT?
The Easy Reels MCP server added to ChatGPT as a custom MCP server. You add it once under Plugins; after that you describe a video in the chat, ChatGPT writes the edit and Easy Reels renders it with the same fonts and filters as the app.
I can't find Add custom MCP server.
It is under Plugins in ChatGPT's left sidebar: click Add in the top right corner. Custom MCP servers are part of ChatGPT's paid plans, so check that your plan includes them. If you see the option but the connection fails, write to support@easyreels.io.
How do I send ChatGPT my clips?
Upload them in the Easy Reels app; they are ready a few seconds later and ChatGPT can use everything in the workspace. Then say which clips you mean, or let it look through the library and pick.
Do I need an API key?
No. You paste the address, the app sends you to Easy Reels to sign in, and you click Allow. That is the whole setup. You can disconnect an app at any time from the MCP page in the app.
Which plan do I need?
Ultra or Foundation. Every Easy Reels account starts with a 14-day free trial of the plan you pick, so you can connect it and try it before anything is charged.
What footage can the AI use?
Everything in the workspace it is connected to, minus what you exclude on the MCP page in the app. It never reads it all at once: it looks at 50 files at a time and keeps notes on what each one shows, so the next chat starts with them. Upload new footage in the app, or in the panel that opens in the chat where the app supports it.
Can it use my Easy Reels templates?
Yes. The AI can list your templates, build new ones, change their layers, audio and filters, add copy, and generate from them: one video or carousel, or a batch of up to 50 into a folder in My Generations. It asks before a batch, before deleting a template and before removing copy.
Does it need music or a template?
No. The AI writes a new edit for every video: the order of the scenes, the cuts, the transitions and the text. Music is optional, and so is sound at all.
Can it cut the right part of a long video?
Yes. Before it cuts, it looks at frames from the video with their timestamps and at a transcript of what is said, then trims to the part you described.
What do I get back?
An MP4 in 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9, up to 3 minutes long. Videos land in My Generations and on the MCP page in the app, and in Claude a player shows them right in the chat.
Does it generate footage?
No. Nothing is invented. The AI edits the footage, photos and music you give it, and the video is rendered from those files.
Where do I get help?
Write to support@easyreels.io. Say which app you are connecting from and what you saw, and we will sort it out.
Describe it. Post it.
Your footage, your fonts, your filters. ChatGPT does the editing.
