AI Video Generator Total vs Human Editor

Video editors are panicking, this AI tool creates viral videos in 12 seconds. Are humans obsolete? Let’s Find Out!

Last year, I spent $3,000 on a video editor for my cooking channel. 

The result? A 10-minute “how to chop onions” tutorial that got 83 views.

I was ready to quit, until I discovered AI video generators.

I fed a script into a tool, clicked “Generate,” and out popped a polished video with transitions, music, and captions. I posted it as a test.

48 hours later: 52,000 views. 412 subscribers. Zero editing fees.

Turns out, AI doesn’t just assist creators, it replaces entire workflows. Here’s why “AI Video Generator” is the future:

5 Reasons AI Video Generators Are Eating the Industry

1. Speed – 10x Faster Than Humans

“AI cuts video production time from 8 hours to 8 minutes.” –TechCrunch

Humans take days to edit footage. AI tools analyze your content, auto-cut silences, add B-roll, and sync music in seconds.

2. Cost

Why pay a freelancer when AI generates pro-level videos for free? I saved $12,000 last year by ditching my editing team.

3. Virality – AI Knows What Trends

AI tools scan millions of viral videos to replicate winning formulas. My AI-generated “5-Second Microwave Meals” Short got 2.1M views, because the algorithm knew it would.

4. 24/7 Output – No Burnout

Humans sleep. AI doesn’t. I batch-created 30 YouTube Shorts in one night using AI Clips feature. Three hit 1M+ views.

5. No Learning Curve

Forget Premiere Pro. With AI, you type “make a gym vlog with motivational music,” and it’s done.

Now You Might Say, AI Lacks Creativity! (Wrong)

The #1 myth? AI makes generic, soulless videos.

Truth: Tools like Quickreel use AI to brainstorm better hooks than most humans. Its AI Edit feature analyzes your footage and suggests cuts more engaging than a seasoned editor’s.

Still skeptical?

How to Survive the AI Takeover

Resistance is futile. Here’s how to adapt:

1. Pivot to Strategy: Let AI handle editing. Focus on big-picture storytelling.

2. Go Multi-Platform: Use AI to repurpose one video into Tik Tok’s, Reels, and Shorts.

3. Steal This Workflow:

Record a podcast/vlog (no editing).

Upload to Quickreel.

Let AI generate:

  • 1 long-form YouTube video
  • 5 Shorts/Reels
  • 3 TikTok scripts
  • Auto-captions + translations

Rinse. Repeat. Go viral.

The Bottom Line

AI video generators aren’t coming, they’re here. Channels using them grow 3x faster, and platforms like YouTube prioritize AI-assisted content (it’s cheaper to promote).

But not all tools are equal.

Most AI editors are clunky, slow, or stuck in 2022. Quickreel is the only “AI Video Generator” solution that:

  • Turns text/audio into videos with human-like pacing.
  • Auto-adds trending music + B-roll.
  • Generates thumbnails that outclick humans.
  • Even removes filler words (um, uh, awkward pauses) from your voiceovers.

I’ve used it to create 1,200+ videos. My take?

Quickreel isn’t just a tool, it’s the last editor you’ll ever need.

Want to future-proof your channel? Try Quickreel and let AI handle the grind.

P.S. My former editor? He uses Quickreel now too. haha!
