Malice The Editor

My advice to every single video editor is to take Agentic editing very seriously and to STOP COPING. You need to be honest with yourself about the impact to freelance editors and remember this is the worst this technology will ever be… And the most expensive. Team YouTube is building a FREE agentic editor that is native to the YouTube Create App… You need to take this seriously… And it’s not that human editing is over but it’s going to be for BIG YOUTUBERS in terms of hiring going forward. And for companies. NOT the Middle Class or Working Class Creator, whom money and time are both more scarce for. Especially in this economy… Thumbnail Artists are feeling this already, VTuber models are next and that might be fully open sourced by some upcoming projects. For MOST creators under 1M subscribers, video editing over the next 5 years will largely go to near $0… And even if it’s not that severe, no video editor loses by acting on that assumption and hardening their business… Pursue clients with higher budgets NOW. Because anyone that is mid tier or early stage creator is not going to keep paying for videos they are barely profitable on after covering an editor…
