00:00 A few days ago, I was doing the final check on one of my videos. Then I noticed that my editor kept putting in these kind of disturbing images. So, I texted him, like, "My hairline isn't that bad." But, he just sent me more images mugging my appearance, which made me wonder, "Do I even need this guy now that we got GPT Astra?" So, I did some research and I found six methods of how you can start using AI to edit [music]
00:23 your videos. In fact, everything you've just seen was all made using AI. Okay, before we dive into this, I just want to get one thing clear. The goal is not to replace my editor. This is just a joke intro. The idea is, if editing takes less time, a human can spend more time on creativity and edit their videos even better.

They're also the sponsor of this video, but even if they

The third thing that you're going to need, if you're editing through DaVinci Resolve, you're going to need the DaVinci MCP. Don't worry, if you're editing through Premiere Pro, then you just need Premiere Pro. Same with After
01:54 Effects, if you want to do things through After Effects, you just need to have that app on your computer.
