AskEditor for ChatGPT and Claude

Edit and make videos in AskEditor from the chat you already use, with the editor open beside it. You ask in the chat; the timeline, the captions and the graphics change in front of you, and you can adjust anything by hand at any time.

The thinking runs on your own ChatGPT or Claude plan. AskEditor credits are used only for paid work such as generation, voices and renders, and anything that costs more than a little asks you first.

What you need

• An AskEditor account (the free plan works).
• The Claude desktop app with a paid Claude plan, or the ChatGPT desktop app. The web and phone apps have no browser pane; there the tools work and you are given a link to the editor.

Install in Claude

In the Claude desktop app, open Customize, then Plugins. Press Add, choose Add from a repository, enter AskEditor/askeditor-plugin and press Sync. Then install AskEditor.

From a terminal instead:

claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/AskEditor/askeditor-plugin.git
claude plugin install askeditor@askeditor

Open the Code tab and start a new session in the folder your footage is in. Type /mcp, choose askeditor and press Connect (in a terminal, claude mcp login plugin:askeditor:askeditor). Then say: Open my latest AskEditor project beside this chat.

Install in the ChatGPT desktop app

From a terminal:

codex plugin marketplace add https://github.com/AskEditor/askeditor-plugin.git
codex plugin add askeditor@askeditor
codex mcp login askeditor

Start a new task and say: Open my latest AskEditor project beside this chat.

Signing in

Your browser opens an AskEditor page that names the app asking and the account it will use, and you press Allow. There is no key to copy. To disconnect an app later, revoke it under Settings › API keys in AskEditor.

Updating

A plugin installed from a repository does not update itself.

claude plugin marketplace update askeditor && claude plugin update askeditor@askeditor
codex plugin marketplace upgrade askeditor

What is in here

Path	What it is
claude/	The plugin for Claude: its manifest, the AskEditor connection and one skill
codex/	The same for the ChatGPT desktop app
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json, .agents/plugins/marketplace.json	What each app reads to find its plugin

The skill only says how to connect and how to open the editor beside the chat. Everything about editing well comes from AskEditor itself while you work, so it is always current.
