Make a video with ChatGPT
Install the Fabeo plugin in ChatGPT once, then ask it to write, edit and render videos for you in plain language. It uses the same account, videos and credits as fabeo.ai.
Install the Fabeo plugin
Fabeo is in ChatGPT's plugin directory. You don't need a server URL or developer mode.
- In ChatGPT, open Plugins in the sidebar.
- Search for Fabeo and open its page.
- Select Install plugin, then Connect if asked.
- Sign in to Fabeo on the page that opens, and click Allow.
- In a chat, type @Fabeo, or click + and choose Fabeo, then ask for a video. ChatGPT can also pick Fabeo by itself, but naming it is the most reliable, for example “Use Fabeo to…”.
Can't install the plugin? Connect Fabeo in developer mode instead
If your workspace doesn't offer the plugin, you can connect Fabeo's server yourself on ChatGPT on the web. Some plans may limit what a developer-mode app can do, so use the plugin when you can.
- Turn on developer mode: Settings›Security and login›Developer mode.
- Go to Plugins, click + and create a developer-mode app named Fabeo, with a Public endpoint connection to the server URL below. If it asks how to authenticate, choose OAuth.
- Create it, sign in to Fabeo and click Allow. In a chat, pick Fabeo under + › Developer mode.

What you can ask ChatGPT
Talk to it the way you'd brief an editor.
Use Fabeo to make a 30-second vertical video introducing my running coaching for marathon beginners. Keep it warm and personal, and end with “DM me for marathon training plans.”
Use Fabeo to show me your unboxing templates, then make one for my sneaker brand using the best fit.
Show me the script scene by scene: what's said and what's on screen in each.
How many credits will this cost? If it's under 40, go ahead and render it.
Credits and sign-in
Writing and editing the script is free. Rendering costs about 1 credit per second of finished video, so a 30-second video uses about 30, and a render takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Each connection can spend at most 150 credits in total, and nothing is connected until you click Allow on the Fabeo sign-in page. The connection renews itself for about 30 days. See pricing for plans.
