How to Edit Premium YouTube Videos Using Opus 5.5! (Full Breakdown) — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00This 18-minute premium animated YouTube
- 0:02video was not edited by an editor. It
- 0:04was edited entirely by Claude. In total,
- 0:06it took 12 hours and 4.5 billion tokens.
- 0:10And because I can edit five to 10 of
- 0:11these on the $100 Claude plan, it means
- 0:13that it cost me anywhere between 10 to
- 0:15$20 for the full video. And in this
- 0:18video, I'm going to show you how you can
- 0:19create and edit premium animated YouTube
- 0:21videos just like this one. First, I'm
- 0:23going to show you how we trained Claude
- 0:25to become an amazing long-form editor
- 0:26because the training process was pretty
- 0:28complex. Then, I'm going to walk you
- 0:29through how we created this entire edit
- 0:31inside of Claude. The cutting, the
- 0:33planning, the design references, the
- 0:34animations, the sound design, and the
- 0:36export. And finally, at the end of the
- 0:38video, I'm going to show you exactly how
- 0:39long every phase took, how much it
- 0:41actually cost, and what this means for
- 0:43us as video editors. And don't worry, if
- 0:45you've never used AI to edit anything
- 0:46before, this video is going to be a
- 0:48complete beginner's guide covering
- 0:49everything from A to C. And if you want
- 0:51the Claude skill files that create Iman
- 0:52Gadzhi edits, Vox documentaries, and
- 0:54viral Instagram Reels, you can find them
- 0:56inside our AI editing fundamentals
- 0:58masterclass in Ultimate Editors. The
- 1:00link is down below. And without further
- 1:01ado, let's dive right in.
- 1:05Before we get into creating the premium
- 1:07YouTube video, we first need to
- 1:09understand how Claude can even edit
- 1:11videos. The easiest way to think of
- 1:12Claude is that it's really a very smart
- 1:14brain. It can absorb any information
- 1:16that we give it, learn it, and use that
- 1:18information to complete tasks. And
- 1:19that's exactly how you and I learned
- 1:21video editing. The only problem is a
- 1:23brain on its own can't do anything. It
- 1:25still needs limbs to actually do things.
- 1:27And these are called plugins like
- 1:28Remotion and Higgsfield. Remotion, for
- 1:30example, is a plugin that's incredibly
- 1:32good at building animations. The only
- 1:34problem is it doesn't know what to
- 1:35build. So, we connect Claude to Remotion
- 1:38so that Claude does the thinking, tells
- 1:40Remotion what to build, and Remotion
- 1:41builds it. And connecting them is as
- 1:43simple as going to the Remotion website,
- 1:45copying this link here, dropping it in
- 1:47Claude, and asking Claude to install
- 1:49Remotion for you. That's it. Now, in our
- 1:51last video, I gave Claude a PDF that
- 1:52broke down how we edit short-form
- 1:54videos, and And
- 1:55this, a viral short-form video. So, to
- 1:57create a premium YouTube video, we had
- 1:59to ask ourselves, [music]
- 2:00"How do we train Claude to edit
- 2:02long-form YouTube videos?" What I did is
- 2:04I went over to my YouTube channel and I
- 2:05picked out 10 videos that I thought
- 2:07really showed our brand well. These all
- 2:09had clean animations and looked exactly
- 2:11how our brand is supposed to look in
- 2:132026. I downloaded all 10 of them, went
- 2:15into Claude code, and set my model to
- 2:17Opus 5.5 on extra high. Click the add
- 2:20folder button and attached my references
- 2:22folder. And then, I gave Claude this
- 2:24prompt. I want you to do three things. I
- 2:26want you to study my editing style from
- 2:27these videos that I sent you. To do
- 2:29this, first transcribe all 10 videos,
- 2:31then cut out every single animation and
- 2:33break it down frame by frame, study when
- 2:35the animation happens and why those
- 2:37visuals were chosen based on what I'm
- 2:38saying, and most importantly, study the
- 2:40design, the scene composition, the
- 2:42colors, the fonts, the objects, and the
- 2:44[music] style, so that you can
- 2:45understand how our style comes together.
- 2:47And then, I clicked on enter and let it
- 2:49run. So, Claude went into the folder,
- 2:51grabbed each video, transcribed the
- 2:52audio, cut out every single animation
- 2:55and broke each animation down into the
- 2:57frames that make it up. Then, it studied
- 2:59the design of every single one of them
- 3:01and even how the animation was built.
- 3:03And it did this for all 10 of the
- 3:05videos. It extracted and studied a total
- 3:07of 458 animations. And after multiple
- 3:10hours, it organized everything into a
- 3:12folder called the long-form study.
- 3:14First, the data folder had the
- 3:15transcripts and what each animation was
- 3:17about based on what I'm saying. Then,
- 3:19the inspiration guide has every kind of
- 3:21animation that we make, A-roll, media
- 3:22frames, numbers, objects, [music] text,
- 3:25and UI. Inside these are hundreds of
- 3:27folders, and every folder has a clip of
- 3:29the animation, a reference sheet of the
- 3:31design, and a frame-by-frame breakdown
- 3:33of how it was built. And then, it turned
- 3:34all of this into the long-form style
- 3:36board, which is a complete webpage that
- 3:38references our style and every important
- 3:40animation frame by frame. So, it's safe
- 3:43to say that Claude now fully understands
- 3:44everything there was to my editing
- 3:46style. That's when I told it to turn all
- 3:48of this into a long-form editing skill
- 3:50that could recreate our style from
- 3:52scratch in Remotion. But, here's the
- 3:54truth. The whole process took a long
- 3:56time. It took Claude almost 6 hours of
- 3:59processing and almost 2 billion tokens
- 4:01to analyze my style. And these
- 4:03references were so heavy that if I just
- 4:04asked Claude to use them as a guide, it
- 4:06would take 4.5 million tokens just to
- 4:09read the references alone. That's a
- 4:11whole day of session limits before it
- 4:12even starts animating. So, we came up
- 4:14with a creative solution. Instead of
- 4:15loading all 458 references, Claude built
- 4:18this document. Every time I give it a
- 4:20plan, it picks out only the references
- 4:22each scene [music] needs. And it gives
- 4:23me a few options to choose from. So, now
- 4:25it only loads what it actually needs,
- 4:27which is less than 100,000 tokens. This
- 4:29is perfect. So, that now means that
- 4:30Claude is fully trained and ready to
- 4:32create a fully animated YouTube video.
- 4:34So, let's put it to the test. Now,
- 4:36before I go and create the premium
- 4:37YouTube video, I just want to let you
- 4:38guys know something. If you're watching
- 4:40this as a video editor, maybe you want
- 4:42to learn how to edit the viral videos in
- 4:432026. Maybe you're struggling to learn
- 4:45AI video editing, or maybe you want to
- 4:47make $2,000 per month as a video editor.
- 4:49Ultimate Editors 2.0 is the best place
- 4:52to learn video editing in 2026. And
- 4:54there's only 20 days before we
- 4:55officially close it down. Here's why.
- 4:57Inside Ultimate Editors 2.0, you get the
- 4:58Premiere Pro and After Effects
- 5:00Masterclass. You learn how to edit
- 5:01cinematic short films, minimal
- 5:03animations, SaaS motion design projects,
- 5:05and even viral talking head videos. You
- 5:06even get the $2,000 per month editor
- 5:09blueprint, where we show you how to
- 5:10build a high-quality personal brand. And
- 5:12you even get the AI editing fundamentals
- 5:14masterclass, where you learn Claude,
- 5:16Higgsfield, Remotion, and how to create
- 5:18three viral editing styles entirely with
- 5:20AI. Our students master the viral
- 5:22editing styles of 2026 in just a few
- 5:24months, and they even go on to make
- 5:25thousands and thousands of dollars as
- 5:27video editors. But, the truth is we're
- 5:29closing this program down in about 20
- 5:31days, and you'll never be able to access
- 5:33it ever again. Which is why we took the
- 5:35price down from $1,200 for 12 months of
- 5:37access all the way down to only $299
- 5:41for lifetime access. You only have till
- 5:43November 15th. So, if you want to learn
- 5:46the viral editing styles of 2026, and
- 5:48you want to make $2,000 per month as a
- 5:50video editor, click the link down below
- 5:51and join Ultimate Editors 2.0. But, now
- 5:54that you know that, let's take that
- 5:55Claude skill that we just built and use
- 5:56it to create a premium YouTube video.
- 6:01What I've got in front of me here is the
- 6:02raw file, the full YouTube recording of
- 6:05me speaking to the camera. It's around
- 6:0630 minutes of front time, but it has a
- 6:08lot of silences and bad takes that need
- 6:10to be removed. And although this step is
- 6:12very boring, it's a crucial step for the
- 6:14edit to actually [music] turn out good.
- 6:16So, let's boot up Claude Code. I'm using
- 6:18Opus 5.5 on high. Click on add folder,
- 6:21attach the raw footage, and give Claude
- 6:22this prompt. This is the raw video I
- 6:24want you to cut. Create a word-by-word
- 6:26transcript of the entire recording,
- 6:28study the silences and the bad takes,
- 6:30and remove them. Keep the cuts tight
- 6:32with less than 20 milliseconds of
- 6:33padding, and use the script as a
- 6:35reference. Then, I upload the script as
- 6:37a reference and click continue. Now,
- 6:38what Claude is going to do is create a
- 6:40word-by-word transcript so it knows at
- 6:42every millisecond exactly what's
- 6:44happening, when I'm saying the words,
- 6:45when I'm breathing, and when I'm taking
- 6:47a pause. Then, it uses a built-in tool
- 6:49called FFmpeg to cut all of that out and
- 6:51hand me back the clean video. Now, I'll
- 6:53be honest with you. This works, but it's
- 6:56very slow. It can take Claude 1 and 1/2
- 6:58hours just to cut this video, and it
- 7:00costs a lot of tokens that could just be
- 7:01used for the animations. So, if you want
- 7:04it faster, I personally use a program
- 7:05called Glink. You upload the raw video,
- 7:07paste in your script, choose to cut the
- 7:09silences and the bad takes, and a few
- 7:11minutes later it gives you this, the
- 7:12transcript on the left and exactly what
- 7:14it cut out. I like it because I can go
- 7:16through the cuts myself and quality
- 7:17control them, which took me around 25
- 7:19minutes for this 13-minute raw
- 7:20recording. Glink does cost some money
- 7:22though, so if you want to stay inside of
- 7:24Claude, just go for it. Then, I click
- 7:26export as MP4, and the boring part is
- 7:28officially complete, so we can now begin
- 7:30creating the video. Now, once I've cut
- 7:31up my video, the next thing I want to do
- 7:33is fully plan out how I'm about to edit
- 7:35this video, because remember, I'm going
- 7:37to give this plan to Claude, it's going
- 7:38to suggest the designs, we quality
- 7:40control them, and then it goes and
- 7:42builds it. What I do here is first I
- 7:44boot up Figma. I paste my script on the
- 7:45right side, and then I go through the
- 7:47entire video and write out the
- 7:48animations I have in mind for every part
- 7:50of the script on the left side. To speed
- 7:52this up, I like to use dictation so that
- 7:54I just speak into the mic what I want in
- 7:56each segment. For example, for this
- 7:57section, I say, "Some people have been
- 7:59saying AI is going to replace video
- 8:00editors, and some people say it never
- 8:02will." So, I write a slow zoom in with
- 8:04on-screen text that highlights the words
- 8:06AI will replace video editors and some
- 8:08people say it won't. I went with the
- 8:10text animation because I want to
- 8:11emphasize the words that I'm saying. So,
- 8:12then take this section where I say, "For
- 8:14days one and two, you have to go on
- 8:16YouTube, search up cloud video editing
- 8:18tutorials." The animation I planned is a
- 8:20pop-up of the YouTube UI with an Apple
- 8:22cursor that types cloud YouTube
- 8:23tutorials. Click search, [music]
- 8:25and a bunch of tutorials pop up. I chose
- 8:27a full-screen UI animation to show the
- 8:28viewer what it's actually like to search
- 8:30for YouTube tutorials. Or take a look at
- 8:32this section where I say, "For
- 8:33short-form, hook the viewer in the intro
- 8:35and keep them watching throughout the
- 8:36body." Here, I ask for a full short-form
- 8:38script on the left side of the screen
- 8:39with a pointer that highlights the hook
- 8:41and writes hook the viewer. And another
- 8:42that highlights the body and writes keep
- 8:44the viewer watching. I chose a
- 8:45full-screen animation to visualize the
- 8:46concept so that it's easier for the
- 8:48viewer to understand. I did this for the
- 8:49full 18-minute video, and it took me
- 8:52around 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours. Now, was
- 8:55this step necessary? No, but I still
- 8:57wanted to go the extra mile to do the
- 8:58quality control just to make sure all
- 9:00the animations that AI creates are
- 9:02actually relevant to the video. Now,
- 9:03once the full plan was done, I exported
- 9:05as a PDF, brought it over to Claude, and
- 9:07gave it this prompt. This is the full
- 9:09plan for the edit. Go through and use
- 9:11the long-form style that we just built
- 9:12together to recommend design references
- 9:14for every single one of the scenes that
- 9:16I planned. I want to go through that
- 9:17document and select the best references
- 9:19to use for each of those scenes. This
- 9:21took around 40 minutes to process, and
- 9:22then it gave me this document. And I
- 9:24spent around 10 minutes going through
- 9:25it, and I ended up choosing the light
- 9:27white minimal style for the video cuz I
- 9:29thought that one fit best. This was a
- 9:31very easy step, and it allowed me to
- 9:33quality control every single scene
- 9:35before Claude builds anything. But now
- 9:37that the planning was complete, all of
- 9:38our manual work was pretty much done.
- 9:40Everything from here on out is
- 9:41completely automated by Claude. So, I
- 9:44went over to Claude and I prompted this.
- 9:46You now have the full plan for the edit
- 9:47and the document breaking down my
- 9:49editing style. Use both of them to
- 9:50create the full animations for the intro
- 9:52alone and send me the design sheet once
- 9:54they're ready so that I can confirm
- 9:56them. And then I click continue. Now,
- 9:57while Claude is building the intro, let
- 9:59me quickly break down what's going on.
- 10:00It's loading up Remotion, which we
- 10:02mentioned is the plugin that knows how
- 10:03to animate, and it's using our animation
- 10:05plan as a guide on what to create and
- 10:07the reference document as a guide on how
- 10:09it should look. It's going to create all
- 10:10six animations for the intro, take a
- 10:12screenshot of every design, compile them
- 10:14into a design sheet, and send it over to
- 10:15me. And the reason we do this is because
- 10:17the most expensive part of this whole
- 10:19process is the exporting at the end. So,
- 10:21before we export anything, we want to
- 10:22confirm that everything looks just as
- 10:24good as we want it to. And over the next
- 10:2660 minutes, Claude created the full
- 10:27animations from scratch and sent me
- 10:29this, the first design sheet. Now, when
- 10:31I saw it, there were a few tiny changes.
- 10:33So, I told it to change the fonts to the
- 10:35ones we actually use in the brand,
- 10:36created a display in Apple Garamond, and
- 10:38to make a few tweaks to the background
- 10:39and the designs. A few minutes later, I
- 10:41had the first render of the intro. I
- 10:42watched it through, changed a few camera
- 10:44movements, some zooms, and some of the
- 10:46pacing, and only 20 minutes later, it
- 10:48sent me the brand new render. In total,
- 10:50it took Claude around an hour and a half
- 10:52to completely animate the intro, and
- 10:54everything looked perfect. And the
- 10:56reason we're putting in so much effort
- 10:57into the revisions right now is so that
- 10:59Claude knows exactly what we want for
- 11:01the rest of the video. Now, I have to
- 11:02mention something here. When I first
- 11:04watched this intro, I was genuinely
- 11:06mind-blown by how good this technology
- 11:08is right now. To the point where I
- 11:10started sending this to a bunch of
- 11:11people, and everyone's reaction was
- 11:13speechless. And just a reminder, this
- 11:15isn't using Higgs field or any other
- 11:16plugin. This is just Claude and
- 11:18Remotion. The only cost here is the
- 11:20Claude subscription. But with this being
- 11:22said, after the intro was complete, it
- 11:23was time to move on to the body. Now,
- 11:25you're going to have to forgive me here
- 11:26because I did screen record the entire
- 11:28process for the body, but the screen
- 11:29recording ended up being corrupt, and
- 11:31it's an 8-GB file, and I haven't found a
- 11:33way to fix it yet. But, what I
- 11:34essentially did is I went over the cloud
- 11:36and said, "Okay, everything looks
- 11:38perfect. You did the intro amazing. Now,
- 11:40I want you to follow the rest of the
- 11:41plan. Animate the entire 18-minute video
- 11:44and send me a design sheet every single
- 11:45time you complete a section so I can
- 11:47confirm it before you export." And this
- 11:49was the biggest phase of all of them.
- 11:51Before it started, it realized it was
- 11:52going to need different assets for the
- 11:54body. So, it sent me an asset checklist.
- 11:56And the best part is I didn't even have
- 11:58to collect them. Most of the assets were
- 12:00from Ultimate Editor, so I just told it
- 12:01to open up Ultimate Editor in Chrome and
- 12:03grab them itself. And the rest were
- 12:04thumbnails from our YouTube videos. So,
- 12:06it used Chrome to download those as
- 12:08well. The only things I uploaded were a
- 12:10few specific edits that it asked for.
- 12:12Then, it realized that 18 minutes is way
- 12:13too many animations for one go. So, it
- 12:15sectioned the video into four phases and
- 12:17animated each one individually. It sent
- 12:19me the phase one design sheets, which
- 12:21looked good, and I gave it a few small
- 12:22revisions. Then, phase two, which looked
- 12:24even better. Phase three, which looked
- 12:26really good. And finally, phase four,
- 12:27which looked perfect. Now, throughout
- 12:29this process, I hit my session limit a
- 12:31few times just because of how demanding
- 12:33this skill is. But, what really matters
- 12:35is that it didn't cost anything extra.
- 12:37Every time the usage filled up, I just
- 12:39waited a few hours for it to reset, and
- 12:41Claude went straight back to work. Now,
- 12:42here's the best part. Throughout these 6
- 12:44hours, I was pretty much never on the
- 12:46PC. I came and I checked every 30
- 12:48minutes to see if there was a design
- 12:49sheet. I gave my thoughts on a few
- 12:51things, and I spent the rest of the day
- 12:52doing whatever I wanted to do while
- 12:54Claude was doing the editing. And after
- 12:566 hours, it completed all four phases
- 12:59and rendered the full video. And
- 13:00remember how I mentioned how demanding
- 13:02this skill is? Yeah, the animation alone
- 13:04used 2 billion tokens. But, now that we
- 13:07had the full video with all kinds of UI
- 13:09animations, text animations, object
- 13:11animations, camera zooms, and on-screen
- 13:13text, the edit looked perfect. Honestly,
- 13:15when I was watching this back, I was
- 13:17completely mind-blown. But, to be fair,
- 13:19I wasn't even ready for just how
- 13:21mind-blown I was about to be when it
- 13:22came to the sound design and music. Now
- 13:24that we have have full edit, it was
- 13:25finally time to ask Claude to add the
- 13:27sound design and the music. As with
- 13:29everything, we first needed to train
- 13:30Claude on how it should go about the
- 13:32sound design. So, I gave it this
- 13:33document, which is a complete in-depth
- 13:35training guide on how I sound design my
- 13:36videos, which I used in one of our
- 13:38previous videos. And then, I clicked on
- 13:40add folder and gave it access to my
- 13:42sound effects library. Wooshes,
- 13:43textures, risers, and hits that our
- 13:45editors use for our videos. So, the
- 13:47document told it how to use the sound
- 13:49effects, and the folder gave it the
- 13:50sound effects. [music]
- 13:51In about 5 minutes, it studied
- 13:53everything and began. And again, I only
- 13:55asked it to sound design the intro first
- 13:57so that I can give it revisions before
- 13:58it did the rest of the video. And over
- 14:00the next 22 minutes, it did a full audio
- 14:02audit of the video, which told Claude
- 14:04what animations existed where and which
- 14:06ones needed which sound effects. And
- 14:08then, it applied the sound design and
- 14:09sent me the intro. Now, there were
- 14:11definitely some changes to make. A lot
- 14:13of the wooshes were misaligned, so I
- 14:14told it to align the peak of the woosh
- 14:16to where the animation transitions into
- 14:17raw footage. For the calendar animation,
- 14:19I told it to use UI pops for every
- 14:20calendar and allowed UI pop for the main
- 14:22one. And I even told it to add a cash
- 14:24register sound effect at any time where
- 14:25we mention money, because that's a
- 14:27consistent theme in our videos. Only 13
- 14:29minutes later, it sent me back the full
- 14:31revised intro, and it sounded awesome.
- 14:33Then, Claude went through the entire
- 14:35edit, sound designed the whole thing,
- 14:36and added music that sounds exactly like
- 14:38our channel. And within 1 hour, the full
- 14:40video was sound designed [music] from
- 14:42the intro to the end of the video, which
- 14:43brings us to the end, where we pretty
- 14:45much handed Claude a raw video and the
- 14:47general direction of how it should be
- 14:49edited, and Claude cut it up, planned
- 14:51the designs, animated the entire video,
- 14:53and even sound designed it and added
- 14:55music just like our own video. And
- 14:57honestly, the fact that we gave Claude a
- 14:58raw video and got back a fully edited
- 15:00high-quality video with zero extra cost
- 15:03is just mind-blowing. But now, let's
- 15:05take a macro look at how long all of
- 15:07this actually took, and what this means
- 15:09for us as video editors.
- 15:13Phase one was training Claude,
- 15:15downloading the 10 videos, breaking them
- 15:16down frame by frame, and categorizing
- 15:18all 458 animations and compiling
- 15:21everything into a skill. That took
- 15:22around 6 hours, but again, you're not
- 15:24going to need to go through this. Phase
- 15:26two was cutting, taking the raw video
- 15:28and removing the silences and bad takes.
- 15:30[music] 1 and 1/2 hours in Claude or
- 15:32around 20 minutes in Glyde. Phase three
- 15:33was planning the full video. This was
- 15:35the only manual part of this whole
- 15:36process, looking at the script and
- 15:38planning every single scene that needs
- 15:39to be created, which took around 1 and
- 15:411/2 hours. Phase four was selecting the
- 15:43design references, which was almost
- 15:44entirely done by Claude. Took us around
- 15:4625 minutes. Phase five was animating the
- 15:49intro with all the revisions, 1 hour and
- 15:5130 minutes. And phase six was animating
- 15:53the rest of the video. All four phases,
- 15:55around 6 hours with Claude running on
- 15:57its own and us not doing anything. And
- 15:59phase seven was the sound [music] design
- 16:01and the music, the audio audit, the
- 16:03sound effects, and the music, around 1
- 16:05hour and 30 minutes. So, if we add it
- 16:07all up, the time it took to create this
- 16:09full video was approximately 12 hours.
- 16:12And there are three things to keep in
- 16:13mind here. One, this used no external
- 16:16plugins. The only cost was the Claude
- 16:17subscription. Two, this long-form skill
- 16:20isn't in ultimate editors yet because
- 16:21[music] it hasn't been made efficient
- 16:23yet. Once it is, it's going to cut this
- 16:25editing time down [music] by at least
- 16:27half and use less than 20% of the
- 16:29tokens, which means you'll be able to
- 16:30run it on the $20 per month Claude plan.
- 16:32And three, most importantly, out of
- 16:34those 12 hours, we only did around 1 and
- 16:371/2 hours of actual work to plan out the
- 16:39video. Now, if you compare this to a
- 16:41traditional video editor, I've worked
- 16:43with thousands of editors over the last
- 16:442 years. And to get this quality of
- 16:46animations through a full video, you
- 16:48typically need 7 days animating at least
- 16:516 to 8 hours every single day. And this
- 16:53comes from data, not assumptions, which
- 16:55means AI created this video in less than
- 16:5720% of the time a regular editor would
- 16:59take. And for the cost, a traditional
- 17:01video editor would charge anywhere
- 17:02between $400 and $750 for a fully
- 17:06animated premium video. Again, this
- 17:08comes from data, not from assumptions,
- 17:10whereas this only cost us the $100
- 17:12Claude plan, which means at five videos
- 17:14a month only, this video would cost $20
- 17:17to edit. Now, I understand this is very
- 17:19scary for us video editors because this
- 17:21whole time our job has been to take raw
- 17:22videos and turn them into pretty looking
- 17:24premium videos just like this one. But
- 17:26if you notice something throughout the
- 17:28entire video, Claude couldn't have
- 17:29created this without my input. I used my
- 17:328 years of editing experience to plan
- 17:34every scene, choose the best design, and
- 17:36give it the right revisions because I
- 17:38understood based on the script what the
- 17:40viewer needs to see in order to keep
- 17:41watching. So, the way that I see it is
- 17:43there are two separate skills in video
- 17:45editing. There's video engineering,
- 17:46which is understanding how good videos
- 17:48are edited and the content psychology
- 17:50behind them, and there's actual editing
- 17:52process, which is knowing the programs
- 17:54and how to use them. The second skill is
- 17:56definitely about to be replaced by AI,
- 17:58but the first one I don't think is going
- 18:00anywhere because content is a uniqueness
- 18:01driven market, and the only people who
- 18:03can create special videos are the ones
- 18:05who understand how viral videos are
- 18:06made. So, going into 2027, the next big
- 18:09wave is going to be the editors who
- 18:11don't just know how to animate pretty
- 18:12videos, but understand what videos
- 18:14should look like in order to actually
- 18:16perform. And that's exactly what
- 18:17Ultimate Editors 2.0 is here to do.
