AI in video editing isn’t replacing skill, it’s extending it.
When the budget is tight, the B-roll doesn’t exist, or you need a drone shot you just can’t get, AI fills the gap.
It opens up transitions and creative outcomes that simply weren’t possible before.
The catch?
You still need to know what you’re doing.
Prompting AI well is a skill in itself and the physical craft behind editing still matters.
It’s just a better toolkit.
