You know what is the scariest part for a video editor, Ai edited video are not just performing well but the audiences also like the videos. As a video editor your role is to give the content a polished look and make it easy to understand, and ai is really doing it well
There are two ways you get paid as a video editor- 1st save their time, 2nd get them better results. Ai is already doing 1st one way better than an editor, the only way to get paid is get them the results, which I am sure you cant if you only know video editing, So try to involve in content creation strategy.
Video editors now what next, the time has arrived, 2027 going to be brutal if you don't have a personal brand, I see many video editors they edit well but aren't able to make enough money , on the other hand i also see many editors who don't edit better than the anonymous one but making 10x or even 20x more money.
