0:00This new Chat GPT update is absurd. Today, I'm going to show you an AI that edits your videos for you. You talk, it cuts, it zooms, it adds the sound, all from one prompt. It's new, it's wild, and it's way easier than you think, but there's a big twist with the Chat GPT part. So, stick around. So, here's what's going on. A guy named Fardan Ali posted a new video on X. He goes by Trophy FX. He's one of the founders of a tool called Pause, and his post says, "Meet Astra 6.1 for video editing." Now, that name sounds like Chat GPT, it sounds like OpenAI. So, people got

0:30hyped, but I want you to hear the truth right away. This is not an official Chat GPT feature. OpenAI did not put a video editor inside Chat GPT. In fact, OpenAI held back its GPT 6.1 Astra release in September after safety worries. Their own model list shows GPT6 Astra and GPT6.1 Soul, not an Astra 6.1 you can use. So, what's really behind that Astra 6.1 name? Right now, nobody has confirmed it. But, the tool itself, that part is real. Pause is a real AI video editor. And what it says it can do is kind of crazy. So, let's look at it, and later, I'll show you the one simple test

1:05you should run before you trust any AI editor, because the demo is never the full story. And Pause has its own demo on its website. It's short, under a minute. You see the raw video going, and you see the finished edit come out. Cuts, zooms, sound, the whole thing. It looks amazing. But, remember, a demo is made to look good. So, we're going to dig in way deeper than that. Oh, and if we haven't met already, I'm the AI avatar of Julian Goldie, CEO of AI SEO and GEO agency, Goldie Agency. Whilst he's helping clients get more leads and customers, I'm here to help you get the

1:38latest AI updates. Julian Goldie reads every comment, so make sure you comment below. Okay? So, what does Pause do? Think about how you edit a video right now. You sit there. You cut out every pause, you cut every mistake. You find the part where you messed up and said it again. You add zooms by hand one by one. You hunt for music, you drop in sound effects, you type out captions, it takes forever. Pause says it can do all of that for you. It finds the quiet parts and cuts them. It finds the repeated takes and cuts those, too. And it tries to keep you sounding natural, not like a

2:08robot that got chopped into pieces. It does smart zooms. So, it zooms in on you or on the thing that matters, not just the middle of the screen. It adds music and sound effects at the big moments. It makes captions. It can add text that moves on the screen. It can add arrows and highlights. It can even cut you out from your background. That's called masking. And here's the big one. It can give you a Premiere Pro project, so you're not stuck with whatever the AI made. You open it up and you can change anything you want. There are two models, Pause 1.0. Flash is the simple one. It's

2:39for basic talking head videos, cuts, zooms, music, sound effects, captions. Then there's Pause 1.0 Pro. That one is more accurate and it adds the fancy stuff, text, arrows, masking. So, which one should you pick? Easy. If you just talk to a camera and want the boring stuff gone, Flash is the simple pick. If you want arrows, moving text, and cutting yourself out from the background, that's what Pro is built for. Start simple, then move up when you need more. Now, quick note. Pause's own marketing says an edit that takes 20 hours can take 20 minutes. That's their claim, not a test. So, keep that in mind

3:11because I'm going to show you how to check it yourself. And think about this for a second. If an AI can edit your videos, what else can it do for your business? That's exactly what we work on inside the AI Profit Boardroom. Tools like Pause are cool, but the real win is turning them into a system, like one raw recording that becomes a full video, a short, and a post without you doing every step by hand. Inside, you learn how to build AI workflows that save you time, help you get more customers, and grow your business. If you want to stop

3:38watching AI and start using it, join. The link is in the description. Okay, back to Pause. Because how it works is super simple. You open the Pause web editor. You see a box, just like a chat box. You bring in your raw video. You pick your model, Flash or Pro. Then you type what you want in plain words, like you're talking to a human editor. There are also quick buttons, one for cuts, one for zooms, one for sound effects, one for captions, and one to edit the whole video. Then Pause makes the edit, you watch it, you fix what you don't like. Here's a prompt you could try,

4:07"Edit this raw talking head video into a clean YouTube video. Remove dead silence, repeated takes, long pauses, and mistakes, but keep my personality and every important point. Add smooth subtle zooms at key moments. Add music and sound effects only where they help. Keep it fun, but don't make the edits distracting." See how simple that is? No

4:25dragging clips, no timeline, just words. Want a short instead? You could say this, "Turn this into a 45-to-60-second vertical short. Find the best hook, remove the filler, frame me for a phone screen, add clean captions, and do not change what I said." That last line matters a lot. I'll tell you why in a second. And here's one more prompt, if you want to push it hard, "Edit this

4:44video in a clean documentary style. Remove the extra pauses, add soft slow zooms, use quiet sound and gentle music. Point out the important things with arrows or masks, if the tool can do it. Add short moving text for the key ideas. No clutter, no cartoon effects, just clean storytelling." This one is the real test because simple cuts are easy. Fancy stuff is where AI editors usually trip up. One more thing about the Premiere Pro file, Pause says the web editor and the Premiere Pro workflow are separate. And to open that Premiere project, you need Premiere Pro plus your original video file. So, keep those safe. Okay, here's the test I promised

5:16you. Don't just watch the demo and believe it. Demos always look perfect. Do this instead. Grab a short clip about a minute long. Put four things in it on purpose. One long pause, one sentence you say twice, one big punchline, and one moment where you point at something. Then let Pause edit it and check four things. Did it cut the pause? Did it catch the repeat? Did it keep your punchline? And did it zoom in on the thing you pointed at? Then check two more things. How long did it take to get the edit back? And how long did it take you to fix it? Those two numbers tell

5:44you way more than any demo ever will. Want to make it even easier? Give it a score. Check seven things. Did it cut the silence? Did it remove the repeats? Did it keep the meaning of what you said? Did it zoom on the right thing? Did the music and sound fit? Are the captions clear? And can you actually change the timeline after? Give each one a zero, a one, or a two. Zero means it failed. One means it kind of worked. Two means it did a good job. The best score is 14. Now you're not guessing. You

6:09know. Here's an easy way to picture it. Say you record a tutorial for the AI Profit Boardroom or messy a few retakes. You drop it into Pause, ask for a clean edit, then open the timeline and fix anything that's off. That's the real promise here. Not perfect, just way faster. And don't stop at the first look. If you get that Premiere Pro project, open it, zoom in on the cut points, look at the text, look at where the sounds landed, then make one fix yourself. Move a cut, change a word, swap a sound. Why? Because that shows

6:35you how much control you really keep. And that's the whole point. The AI does the boring work. You still make the final call. Then try the hard stuff. Does it follow you when you move? Does the text look clean? Does the masking actually work? Does the music hit at the right moments? Some of it might be

6:49great. Some of it might need fixing. Either way, now you know the truth, not the hype. Now let's talk about the stuff nobody puts in the hype posts. First, the ChatGPT part. Again, this is not inside ChatGPT. It's Pause's own tool. And here's the funny part. Just a few days ago, on October 23rd, Pause was also linked to a different video editing announcement with a different AI name, Claude Duet. So, the model names keep changing. That's why you check before

7:14you get hyped. Second, getting in. Pause's beta page still talks about picking the first 100 editors. So, you might not get in right away. Third, your footage. Pause says your original files stay on your computer, but a copy gets uploaded so it can do the work. And Pause says it does not use your footage to train its AI. Still, read the terms

7:33before you upload anything private. Fourth, the AI can mess up. It might cut a line you wanted. It might zoom in on the wrong thing. That's why that line, do not change what I said, is so important. And that's why you always watch the edit before you post it. And even Paul says human judgment still matters. So, no, this does not replace video editors. It just takes away the boring parts. And if this video got you
