I need to make $100 bucks real quick, so I'm a video editor now. I'll do 5 or 6 videos, up to 2 hours each. All I need is a vision or outline and I can get going. Available on pretty much any form of social media, I can work about 4 hours a day.

​

So, i JUST started learning video editing today because I wanna make money from it. I'm from india and i only have an android mobile, no laptop. Is there anyway I can learn editing only with mobile and earn usd?

I am a beginner. I am just bored so I am trying to start learning video editing so will you suggest me some apps?

Hey redditors!

I’ve been seeing this question everywhere lately: "is AI actually replacing video editing workflows?"

My short answer: no.
AI isn’t replacing entire workflows. It’s just speeding up parts of them.

My long answer: As a full-time editor, I use AI tools all the time, but never as a full replacement. I haven’t come across a single tool I’d trust to take over an entire edit. What AI is good at is removing friction. I find AI tools to be helpful when it comes to stuff like prepping, generating assets and overall repetitive tasks.

What AI can vs can’t replace

What AI can handle well:

• Asset generation
• Rough cuts / basic A-roll
• Audio cleanup

What AI can’t replace:

• Pacing & rhythm (cut timing, emotional beats)
• Story decisions (what stays, what goes)
• Creative direction (tone, style, intent)

That second category is basically… the part that actually makes an edit good 😅

Like I said, as a full-time editor, I use AI as an assistive layer.

So, most of my workflow looks like this:

1. Adobe Firefly → generating b-roll / visual assets (mainly for supporting assets, not the core edit)
2. Premiere → editing (text-based editing (rough cuts), generative extend, search panel)
3. Adobe Podcast → audio cleanup, voice enhancement.

This is still very much human controlled and the most important part that actually makes an edit good. This is what clients are paying for.

The real benefit of AI is speed, such as:

• Cutting down time sourcing footage
• Speeding up rough cuts
• Cleaning audio in seconds

It helps you edit faster, but it doesn’t make decisions.

Most pro editors I know use it like this. Beginner workflows might lean more heavily on AI, but at a pro level, editing is still about control, decision-making, and storytelling. AI just helps you get there faster :)

I don’t really see this changing anytime soon.

Curious if anyone here has actually replaced their workflow completely with AI??

Hi everyone,
I want to start getting more into video editing. I’ve already edited two videos and had a lot of fun doing it. So far I’ve been using CapCut. My main goal is to eventually create cool Instagram Reels from my travels.

I’m just not sure if CapCut is the best option for that long term, or if you would recommend something else instead.

Thanks a lot for your help!

I'm not super tech-savvy and I've been trying to find a simple way to download YouTube videos for offline use. I travel a lot for work and don't always have reliable internet, so I just want to save a few videos to watch on the plane.

I've already tried a few of those websites that pop up when you Google it, but honestly they seem super sketchy tons of ads, fake download buttons, and one of them almost got me to install something suspicious. Not doing that again. Would really appreciate recommendations from people who have actually tried them.

Hey everyone, I’m Aastha (21F). Recently I’ve been thinking about learning video editing because it genuinely feels interesting to me, and I have a few free months where I can properly focus on building a skill.

I have an iPad Air 5th Gen, but I honestly don’t know where to start. I’m looking for free resources/courses/apps and some guidance about the learning path. Also, while learning, what kind of content should I even edit if I don’t have my own footage or content?

I’m more interested in learning editing that can actually help me make money in the future (freelancing/content editing/short form editing etc.) while also learning skills to eventually start my own channel properly.

I already have a small YouTube study channel with 200+ subscribers, but I haven’t posted anything for 90+ days because I got confused about what direction to take.

Would really appreciate advice from people who started from zero — what should I learn first, what apps should I use on iPad, how do I practice without content, and what type of editing has the best opportunities right now?
