Reply To: unpopular opinion but you dont need to learn video editing anymore if youre just making social content

[No_Procedure8667]

been doing almost this exact workflow for months. claude for scripts, ai video gen, then a quick edit pass. you’re right that it’s “good enough” for 90% of social content.

the thing nobody talks about though is that the bottleneck shifts. used to be editing skills. now it’s having good ideas and knowing what hooks work. the creative thinking part didn’t get automated, just the execution.

also worth noting this only works for talking head / explainer / content treadmill stuff. if you’re doing anything with real humans or real locations you still need to know how to shoot and edit. but yeah for the daily social grind? traditional editing is overkill.
