One of the most exciting additions to GTA 5 on PC is the newly announced Rockstar Editor video creation tool, which lets users piece together gameplay clips and add a bunch of filters, text and music, as well as a 'Director Mode' that allow players to set the stage with their own custom scenes using in-game animals, vehicles and pedestrians.
Barely 24 hours after launch, budding directors have been busy posting their miniature masterpieces online. We've picked out a few early efforts to show what people are doing with GTA 5's video editor.
1. The first ever video made in GTA 5's video editor
Credited as the first Rockstar Editor video, 8-BIT BASTARD has done a fantastic job creating this inspirational movie masterpiece. Making great use of the game's soundtrack, the video sees an increasingly hairy Trevor running across the state of San Andreas.
2. Poor humans
If you've had enough of violence towards animals in the game, then this short video of a dog ruining some beachgoers' day will warm your heart.

3. An amusing bug leads to a terrific pile-up
For one user, a strange bug occurs with a massive pile of vehicles at a street junction. After 17 recording attempts, this video is the emotional outcome. Who knew bugs could lead to great gaming videos?
4. Killer clown
One of the weirder efforts we've seen so far, N&B Gaming's clip follows a menacing clown as it prowls the streets looking for trouble. From rude hand gestures to extreme acts of random violence, this is one clown you wouldn't want to book for a birthday party.
5. Saddest story ever told
Set to Simon and Garfunkel's 'Sound of Silence', Snozzcrumble's video explores suicide in Los Santos, as a beloved character slowly falls to his death. With one glaring continuity error and a twist ending, it's not quite as sad as the title makes out.
6. The gardener
A short and simple piece that looks at an unprovoked attack against a gardener, and does a good job at highlighting what tools can be used to spice up a simple knock-out punch.
And finally, want to know how the editor itself works? Eurogamer has created a video that looks at the creative suite itself, followed by what you can expect:
