Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hey, what's up, fellow creators. Welcome back to another episode
of the Video Editing Guru, the podcast where I dive
into all things video editing to help you become a
master in the art of post production. I'm your host, Dustin.
Today we're set to embark on an exciting journey into
the future of video editing, what twenty twenty five holds,
and the new technologies, particularly AI, that are predicted to

(00:27):
revolutionize our workflows. We'll discuss everything from the evolution of
editing technology to AI tools that are game changers in
our field, and from real time collaboration and cloud editing
to personalized AI recommendations. So strap in, folks, and let's
get this show on the road. Now, let's reflect a
bit on the evolution of video editing technology. Remember when

(00:50):
we had limited control, flexibility and speed. Well, today we
have tools like Adobe Premiere, Da Vinci Resolve and Final
Cut Pro and these magical wizards have kept on evolving,
granting us editors more power. But hold onto your hats,
because in twenty twenty five, we're expecting an even greater
leap thanks to AI driven technology. Let me share a

(01:11):
bit about the AI tools that are altering the game
for US video editors. We've already witnessed the magic of
tools like Runway mL and descript, which have revolutionized tasks
like masking, transcriptions and scene recognition. But in twenty twenty five,
these tools will likely be more advanced, enabling editors to
put on autopilots sometime consuming tasks like color grading, audio sinking,

(01:35):
and even making rough cuts. Can you imagine how much
more room we'd have for creativity then? But the real
time collaboration trend is nothing short of a game changer
as well. With platforms like frame, dot Io and cloud
editing becoming the standard, we have teams from across the
globe working on the same project without delays. Picture this
in twenty twenty five, we might see fully cloud based

(01:57):
editing suites that only require a solid internet can no
massive hardware. Just get your connection right and you're ready
to roll. And what about this? An AI that gets
to know your editing style over time, making suggestions for
music transitions and effects based on your past projects. This
degree of personalization could drastically ramp up workflows and ensure

(02:19):
consistency across your work. Sounds dreamy, right, but with the
pace tech as moving, it might well be our reality soon.
Now's the time for you to weigh in. Folks, what
are you most thrilled about in video editing for twenty
twenty five. Any cool AI tools you're currently using that
have significantly changed your work style. Send me a message.
I'd love to hear from you, and remember, if you
