AI video editing shifts from generation to agentic workflow execution
OwlZealousideal4779 · reddit · 2026-09-19
A Reddit post argues AI video tools should move beyond generating new content toward agents that work with existing footage.
The envisioned editing agent chains multiple steps: reviewing footage, identifying useful sections, cutting repetition, adding captions, producing multiple formats, and iterating on natural-language feedback. The key shift is from AI performing single editing tasks to AI understanding a broader goal and executing a multi-step workflow.
The author's closing question: should creative AI agents own workflow execution while humans keep the important creative decisions?
