EmailHave 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.

This morning, I went out early to buy my copy of the weekend FT — a great newspaper, by the way. I was a bit surprised to see that my regular newsstand, on 6th Avenue and 55th Street, had exactly 3 newspapers for sale — one copy of Baron’s and two copies of The New York Post. That was it. No FT, no NY Times, no Washington Post, no… nothing.
