Video editing is booming, and prices are dropping. But the real cost isn’t money…it’s attention.

Upwork’s latest In‑Demand Skills 2026 report shows that video editing is one of the fastest‑growing categories. Yet the surge in AI tools and one‑off gigs has fragmented the market.

In our newest BRAEID blog we explain why “editing” as a commodity fails at scale and how the teams seeing real results are those who own their video layer, building long‑term systems with human‑in‑the‑loop AI.

If you’re tired of fragmented edits and want to compound clarity and consistency across every asset, this one’s for you. Read the full breakdown:https://www.braeid.com/article/2026/2/4/video-services-in-2026

Video Editing Services in 2026: Demand Is Up. Prices Are Down. Here’s Why. — BRAEID

On it’s face, the recent In-Demand Skills 2026 report from Upwork makes a reassuring claim for creatives working in video: demand is not shrinking. In fact, video editing remains one of the strongest and fastest-growing categories on the platform. That feels like good news, and it’s largel

Appreciate everyone leaning into this conversation.

We’re not seeing less demand for video… we’re seeing a shift in what’s actually valuable. Editing got faster. Context got rarer. The teams winning right now aren’t producing more, they’re compounding better.

Hotel California reimagined as a psychedelic AI animation.

The idea: dark iconic lyrics, bright flat visuals. The contrast is the whole point.

Built entirely in Kittl in one day. 27 AI-generated frames, each prompted manually for flat colors and bold outlines. Transitions generated using Kittl's built-in AI video models including Veo 3.1. Edited in DaVinci Resolve.

You can check out any time you like. But you can never leave.

Cool concept Denis. The contrast between dark lyrics and bright visuals sounds like a really interesting direction.

For this challenge, I built a short story around one of my favorite chairs — the Wassily chair.

It’s a piece I’ve admired for a long time and hope to own someday. The design is simple, bold, and still feels incredibly modern almost a century later.

Using @Kittl Video, I visualized a small evolution leading up to it — starting from a primitive stool and gradually introducing structure, new materials, and modernist thinking.

Each step moves the design closer to what it would eventually become.

The sequence ends where the story was always going: the Wassily chair (1925).

Design evolves. Icons remain. Project Link Loom Link

Complete! Here is my Contra challenge for Kittl Built this 15 second product reveal reel starting with: 1. A mock-up I created in Photoshop previously, for my brand Brewzone 2. Generated frames in ChatGPT using the mock-up for accurate product output 3. Used these frames as first frame and last frame in Kittl using the "AI Video Board" feature Tools Used: 🎥 Adobe Premiere Pro (editing) 📝 ChatGPT (images & prompt optimization) Project Link I preferred ChatGPT for images and Veo 3.1 for video, because of the customisation they both provide for my particular use case.
