# EditPilot and Interactive Edit on CapCut

By Steven Van · 2026-09-10

CapCut Desktop's EditPilot and Interactive Edit let creators select footage in the preview and extend shots up to 30 seconds.

[CapCut](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/apps/capcut>) Desktop is adding EditPilot, an AI editing assistant, alongside a new Interactive Edit mode.

- Interactive Edit lets you select footage directly in the preview window and prompt changes to it, rather than hunting through the timeline.

- AI Extend can lengthen a shot by up to 30 seconds.

The [features were announced](<https://x.com/i/status/2097913378396147760>) on 10 September 2026.
