Is video editing still profitable in 2026?

If you go on X (Twitter) or Reddit today, everyone is panicking.

You see the same comments everywhere:

• "AI is taking our jobs."

• "Clients only want to pay $5 now."

• "The market is too crowded."

It feels like a "race to the bottom."

I see thousands of talented editors worried about the future. They feel like they are working harder but making less money.

But here is the truth:

Video editing isn't dying. But the "Average Editor" is.

If you look like everyone else, you have to compete on price.

If you send the same messy Google Drive links as everyone else, clients will treat you like a "cheap" worker.

In 2026, you can't just be a person who "cuts video." You have to be a professional.

I noticed that the top 1% of editors aren't worried about AI.

Why? Because they don't look like "freelancers." They look like partners.

They don't send messy links. They have a clean, professional "home" for their work that gives the client confidence.

I wanted to give that same power to every editor.
