DALL-E was OpenAI's image model, known for turning a plain-language prompt into a picture inside ChatGPT, and in 2026 OpenAI retired it in favor of GPT Image. GPT Image also runs inside Morphic, a complete AI video production workspace. Copilot plans and runs the generations, turns a still into a shot, blocks the scene in 3D Scene on paid plans, and edits the multi-track Compose timeline on request. A workflow saves your best process, with the model and settings kept at every step, so it runs the same way as you scale. Teams get Live collaboration from the Pro plan, and Enterprise adds User groups and permissions, Credit limits, Model access and Connectors.

What is agentic editing on Morphic?
Agentic editing means an AI agent works inside the edit itself. On Morphic, Copilot helps you stage a shot in 3D, reworks a take from a plain instruction, and changes the Compose timeline when you ask, across three stages.
- 01
Block the shot in 3D
Place each person, plan the move, and set the lens and camera height before a still becomes a shot. - 02
Fix the take
Say what a clip should change, extend it past its last frame, relight it, or re-frame the angle. - 03
Cut with Copilot
Work the Compose timeline yourself, or describe the edit and Copilot makes it for you.
Every stage works by hand as well. 3D Scene runs continuity checks that catch a crossed 180-degree line, and on paid plans Copilot builds the scene from a prompt and checks its own edits. Export the frame or the shot, attach it, and it becomes the reference the model follows.
Why teams choose Morphic over DALL-E
Teams choose Morphic when an image is the first frame of a video that still needs a cut, a grade, a score and a review. These are the tools they use most.
Copilot on the timeline
Ask Copilot to fade every cut to black. The whole change undoes in one step.
Layered Compose edit
Stack stills, clips and audio tracks, trim to the frame, keep titles editable.
Grade and key
Set curves, wheels and LUTs, key out a green screen, and choose blend modes.
Takes fixed by request
Describe what a clip should change, or extend the shot beyond its last frame.
Notes pinned in place
Pin feedback to a point, an area or a moment in a clip, then tag a teammate.
Made for teams
Co-edit live from Pro. Enterprise adds groups, credit limits and model access.

FAQs
No. OpenAI removed DALL-E from its API on May 12, 2026, and retired the official DALL-E GPT in ChatGPT on August 30, 2026. Image generation in ChatGPT now runs on OpenAI's GPT Image models under the name ChatGPT Images. GPT Image is the direct successor, and it runs on Morphic too.
You can use its successor. DALL-E is retired, and GPT Image, the OpenAI model behind ChatGPT Images, is in Morphic's model picker. Run one image on GPT Image and the next on another model in the same project, then turn the stills into video, cut them in Compose and review them with your team.
For work that goes past a single picture, Morphic is the stronger choice, and it runs GPT Image, the model that replaced DALL-E. Copilot plans and runs the generations, Saved References keep a character or product steady, the stills become video, and Compose finishes the cut. ChatGPT Images suits a quick image made inside a conversation.
Yes. On the Canvas you can inpaint a region, outpaint past the frame, or describe the change and let the model edit the image. Save a character or product as a Reference so every edit keeps it on model, and compare the versions side by side on the Canvas.
DALL-E was OpenAI's image model inside ChatGPT, now replaced by GPT Image. Morphic is a complete AI video production workspace that runs GPT Image beside other image, video and audio models: Copilot plans the work, 3D Scene sets a shot's staging, Compose finishes the cut, grade and mix, and the team reviews and co-edits live.
It hands you the parts a prompt leaves to chance: where each person stands, which way they move, the lens, and where the camera sits. Block the shot with mannequins and cameras, let continuity checks catch a crossed 180-degree line, then export the frame or shot and attach it as the reference.
Yes. Upload the images you made with DALL-E or ChatGPT, or give Copilot a link to fetch them. Save a recurring character, product or style as a Reference, and it carries into every image and video that needs it, whichever model runs the shot.
Yes. The free plan takes a project from the first prompt to a finished cut before you pay. Paid plans add Copilot inside 3D Scene, watermark-free exports and upscaling, and from the Pro plan up, extra seats for live collaboration.
