Avid There are many whispers throughout Hollywood about how many professionals are secretly using AI tools. But a cohort of film editors are ready to go public.
In a survey of 120 members of the 1,200-body American Cinema Editors conducted by Avid, the tech company behind editing software stalwarts like Media Composer and Pro Tools, 77.5% of film editors are using AI to some extent in the post-production process. Many of the use cases relate to helping with transcription (60%), audio cleanup (55%) and searching for specific shots within the hundreds of hours of footage available to editors on a project (39.2%). But others cases involve a lot of the more underrepresented areas of where editors work, including generating specific shots to help producers identify what footage they need to capture or tagging the details of specific shots.
