As more and more people create content for YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, the demand for video editors just keeps on growing. With a little help from AI, you can now create professional video edits with very little editing experience.

How to make money as a Video Editor

• Remove the background from videos: With the ‘green screen’ tool on Runway, you can now remove the backgrounds from videos in seconds. People are charging around $30 on Fiverr to remove the background from a 30-second video. $30 for a few minutes of work doesn’t sound too bad to me.

• Remove unwanted objects from videos: With the ‘Inpainting’ tool on Runway, you can very quickly remove any unwanted objects from videos. Video editors on Fiverr are charging around $50 to tidy up a 30-second clip.
