Edits and assembles video content for film, television, and digital media.
AI video editing is here: auto-cut to music, scene detection, color grading, and caption generation. Adobe Premiere's AI, DaVinci's neural colorization, and clip.ai do 60% of post-production in real-time. Your taste and pacing still matter—but the labor intensity has collapsed. YouTube shorts, TikToks, and corporate videos don't need an editor; they need an AI point at the phone. Feature film and premium content still employ editors, but that's a narrow market. Expect 50% headcount reduction in digital content factories within 3 years.
