Editing isn’t just about cutting footage, it’s about sensing emotion. It’s about knowing when to hold a moment and when to move on.

AI can recommend when to trim a clip, but it doesn’t understand why a pause can build tension or how silence can speak louder than sound.

Editing With Emotion

We touched on this idea in What AI Can’t Replace in Video Production, where we talked about human intuition giving meaning to every cut.
