Its wild to think how much video editing has changed. I remember struggling with non-linear editors back in the day,where rendering a simple crossfade took what seemed like an eternity.You'd meticulously plan every cut because undoing a mistake could be a nightmare.Now,you can throw together a complex multi-layered edit with color grading and effects in a fraction of the time on software available on almost any computer or even a phone. The accessibility is astonishing. It used to be that video editing was this highly specialized skill reserved for professionals, and now almost anyone can learn the basics, thanks to intuitive interfaces and readily available tutorials.
