MY favorite is "boy meets extraterrestrial alien."
I'd say some 80% of videos on YouTube have some editing, the quickie short ones no. On one of my YouTube videos, I spent close to 80 hours editing it.
Check out this Rick Beato video.

From now on, I am going to assume that any music lyrics were created by AI until proven otherwise.
People will still want to hear real musicians and singers, but songwriters are now SOL.
Even if I make a short video for YouTube, I do some of the fundamentals of editing.
I’m picky about how I make videos. Too many years in TV production in a former life.
Some people like my RC tank stuff that I made in the past few weeks.
Bumper Stickers,Yard Signs and
Protest Warrior Banners is as Far as My talents Have Taken Me.
There is a certain poignant beauty in brevity.
The video of baby Corey Booker giving his latest speech is the best. The audience ... LOL!
“””You cannot even trust a photo on FB anymore. Too many AI fakes.””””
I saw a video recently of Amy Klobuchar talking about the Sydney Sweeney ad. It looked and sounded like she was saying everything but it was as fake as you can get. And HILARIOUS.
But who will lecture us about how horrible we are if not a movie star?
The distribution markets is where the money is at. Hollywood owns them.

Me too, I have been editing videos and before that film, long before there was YouTube. I'm very particular about production and editing. My background is decades in radio, but before that a graphic artist and illustrator so I have a very visual eye and an ear for sound production.
Is that where Peter Cushing wears blush on his cheeks? Or do you mean “Rogue One.”
Catchy title. When my daughter was three her favorite time of day was, "the morning of the night." :)
Oh funny 🤣🤣
I didn’t type I just copied it LOL
and some write a book about making movies
I came up in the world of machine to machine editing and using low level edit controllers.
Audio is a weak point for me.
However I really enjoy old time radio shows.
“I spent close to 80 hours editing it. “
Well that’s your background kicking in. I wrote a particular screenplay years ago. 150 pages in the first draft. About 93 pages when I got done editing it. That’s 57 minutes of screen time that went away without hurting the narrative. The minor editing you’re talking about in that 80’percent is not what I’m talking about. They need to slash twenty minutes out of many of these slow bloated masterpieces. A subject line that looks interesting loses all attraction for me when I see a running time of thirty forty or more minutes. People aren’t as fascinating as they think they are. They don’t have the power of narrative that they think they do and it shows in the videos they make. Give me three to five minutes on most subjects or at least lean things down by trying to aim for that. There are people that can ramble and be interesting all the way along but that ain’t most of us.
Now that I totally agree with. I watched a YouTube video the other day on bear spray, and the guy spent 15 minutes babbling, when the whole thing could have easily been edited down to three minutes.
