Ai generated videos are changing the whole dimension of video creation these days. Recently, I needed some video for projects and I was searching for some tools that can get the job done for me. When I found the tool, my mind was just bloen away with the videos I got from there. The quality and clarity of the videos was simply awesome. I mostly used synthesia, invideo and lunabloomai. When i saw the result, I had this question in my mind. What is the future of the freelance editors since these tools are giving such awesome results? What do you guys think?

If you were not considering hiring a free-lance editor, then the impact was zero.

If you were considering hiring an editor for the first time, the impact was slight.

Only if you have a track record of hiring freelance editors is there a meaningful impact, and only to the degree you have an established team. Otherwise it’s just (potentially) cheaper Fivrr.

Because successful freelancers are successful because of relationships, skill and judgement. They are successful because thet are able to produce something better than the description, able to improve the description, and not hallucinate. They are able to give clients what they need even when the client doesn’t know they need it. Good luck.

I was just listening to a podcast[0] talking about how the number of folks needed to create a movie is going to decrease by 90%, in part because of AI.

I think these tools will absolutely hit the freelance market. More video will be produced, and the video involving humans will be at a higher standard.

I don't agree with the premise. Would you like to share some examples of what has wow'd you?

I haven't seen AI productions that got close to what a good video editor could do with a brain and a decent NLE. AI production without a talented human involved are very much slop right now.

The tools give you a draft. If you are an editor, you should be able to make them even better, using the generated video as raw source material. If anything, AI-generated video will make editors even more important, having to fix the slop, just like coders have to fix the slop.

We're a good distance away from that point
