Have you ever worried that robots may be able to edit video one day?  Are you excited about the possibility of a computer being able to edit video?  Either way, that day has come.

A new app called Shred Video is just that.  Using an AI computer algorithm, Shred Video edits together action video for you with just the input of some clips and a music track. 

Available for Apple products, Shred Video takes you from raw material to finished product in 4 simple steps.  Just import your video and music you want to use, choose your highlights from the video and let Shred do the rest.

Shred is angled towards action footage -- like the stuff you would see in a GoPro ad, but it is not difficult to think this technology can someday soon take on much more challenging and nuanced tasks.  While many editors may not see this as a good thing, it is yet another example of how technology is distrupting the video industry and creating new ways for you to make professional quality product without having to spend a lot of money. 

Good or bad, you be the judge, but the AI is here, and it's only the beginning.

Check out Shred Video.

TV News’ Original Sin

In today’s digital era, platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram dominate our online lives with content created by influencers and creators making a lot of money with the videos they make. It’s easy to see why this is such an attractive career.


Local TV news is also in trouble. Viewership is down and the all-important younger demographic is not even interested in watching. How can we get them watching?
