There is a sort of creative aspect to video editing, and especially in content such as movies, I doubt that it will fully take over the job; it will likely only take over certain aspects of the process, like cuts.

A world where there are AIs that can edit video will be a world that ALSO includes human-made media that computers couldn't even DREAM of putting together. All it'll do is make a tier of editing look 'cheap', and then the editors worth their salt will make stuff that's better. Think about it, you and I could make stuff in After Effects right now that would have made Alfred Hitchcock shit himself. but we would think it sucks, purely because of how easy it is to do. that wasn't ever the 'death of the industry', it just changed what people would output.

and besides, any editor who says they enjoy making the kind of content that people are looking to automate are LYING TO THEMSELVES. All that will remain is the kind of editing and the kind of media that AI will never be capable of making. And if, by some crazy happenstance, AI figures THAT out, we'd have already gotten bored of it and made something better.

If it can be automated, it will be. AI is only getting better and many will choose the cheaper option which will be AI.

"Editing styles have been changing over time, and it's difficult for AI to adapt."

Too much creativity involved, maybe in like 100-150 years but the near future is unlikely

with the rise of artificial intelligence art is getting easier to copy by the day and a few short sentences can get you a photo in a few moments which would take a human weeks along with being cheaper

AI will never have the imagination that is a characteristic of humans.

I think that robots will be built to have the knowledge and technical skills to be able to start being capable of editing anything with the most beautiful, highest quality you will ever see in a movie theater. It would be better than ever before. They may just get rid of humans all together.

I work for a film company that does local video editing for companies and movies all over the USA , unless AI software can adapt to network execs, producers and writers constantly changing their minds every other day, then I think the field is safe. I think at some point AI will be able to replace video editors once it gets more complex but I cannot see it happening for 20-30+ years at least.

"good enough" video editing will be the death of video content on the internet, and of most video editing jobs. not all video editors work on netflix shows. high production tv is not in danger of automation

Most people on this planet do not understand that 'Video Editing' is NOT just arranging clips on a timeline like in those typical talking heads YouTube videos but basically, it is storytelling in a creative manner.

Think of Film Editing or a Documentary. So many elements like different shots, camera angles, sfx, music, etc. need to be arranged creatively to tell a story in the best possible way. A lot of decision making is involved in every step.
This is purely art form and something which AI cannot replace...yet. Human brain is far more powerful for this type of task.

Repetitive tasks, yes...they can be automated with AI and it will help editors to reach their goal faster.

There are already examples of AI systems doing editing. see: Autopod.fm. it's only a matter of time until they are able to do more complex editing projects.

I work in post, and unless AI software can adapt to network execs, producers and writers constantly changing their minds on an edit ranging from entire scenes to the most minute of things like a graphic or music placement, then I think the field is safe

Different people like different things. Although a lot of the field can be automated away today for short content like where people dont care too much like tiktoks, but as for narrative content, spatial reasoning is a requirement and the computer would have to derive spatial context from video clips.

I work as a Video Editor, in some ways we already use AI to assist our work but for it to completely replace the role - it could go either way, in my opinion. If AI continues advancing at the speed it is now, with no restrictions from outside parties, AI could definitely replace video editing as well as many other creative positions. If AI is based off a deep learning model of video editing techniques and studying workflows, it is frighteningly possible.

AI will only get better and better.

Yes, you can automate a computer to skim through video and make the correct cuts/put them in sequence, but I highly doubt it will go anywhere any time soon.

Watson made a Horror trailer a decade ago, and we haven't seen another AI cut trailer since then or seen any AI even attempt to make anything longer or more complex than a trailer.

Hey maybe by the time I retire we'll finally see a big, AAA studio AI edited movie, but that would be the entire marketing point and when the movie flops because it's just poorly put together (or hell just not a good movie) the suits will shift all the blame to AI technology, which they'll drop faster than 2D animation and relegate it to the 2060 equivalent of Direct to DvD movies.

Because video editing is a job that involves feelings, we can sense the sound and the story being told.

We also know which clip fits better in a certain place, and which music and sound effect to use in the video.

AI has no emotions or feelings, so there's a very small chance, I think.

Robots aren’t sophisticated enough to put together entire movies, let alone 10 minute big budget films. We’re probably safe until.. let’s say February 2nd, 2222

We now have somewhat capable AI tools that can generate unique images and seemingly infinite permutations based on spoken or text inputs. The permutations take little time for AI to do on a single-image basis, and eventually, they will be able to do this at one image per 1/24th of a second, or 24 frames per second.

This will be challenging for a while, but eventually, the machine learning will have enough data to be able to reliably do this quickly. It will not replace anyone in Hollywood, except perhaps for certain classes of visual effects artists. However, it will replace over half of the video marketing industry.

As Google releases business-class versions of its Google Assistant that can have a conversation with a small business owner, find out what they want, and generate images and video creative for that business owner to serve in purchased digital advertisements. This will be an included service in order to sell more advertising to people who would have never had the funds to both purchase advertising and hire expensive marketing teams to create digital ads and videos.

Furthermore, the AI will be better at placing these ad buys than any human ever could. Already, we are almost there. And thus, all but the most expensive brands, primarily national brands, will replace their social media person or their small marketing team or even their regional marketing agency with one savvy person whose job it is to talk to an AI and get it to create the ads with the creative assets.

We are five years away from AI being able to create images at 24 frames per second, another two years from those videos being usable, another two years for them to be reliable, and then another one to three years for Google to figure out how to seamlessly integrate these learned machines into their ad platform.

It's not a total, across-the-board AI replacement, but the market for user-generated video will shrink dramatically.
