Video editing is a constantly evolving field, and staying on top of the latest trends can help you stay competitive and up-to-date in your career. Here are some of the top video editing trends to watch out for in the coming year:

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR):

VR and AR are becoming increasingly popular for video editing, allowing viewers to experience immersive, interactive worlds. Expect to see more video editors using VR and AR to create innovative and engaging content.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning:

AI and machine learning are revolutionising the video editing process, allowing editors to automate tasks and streamline their workflow. Look for more video editing software to incorporate AI and machine learning in the coming year.

8K resolution:

As 8K resolution becomes more widely available, expect to see more video editors working with ultra-high definition footage. 8K resolution offers a higher level of detail and clarity, and can create a more immersive viewing experience.

Cloud-based editing:

Cloud-based editing is becoming increasingly popular, allowing editors to access their projects from anywhere and collaborate with team members in real-time. Look for more video editing software to offer cloud-based options in the coming year.

Social media content:

With the rise of social media platforms like TikTok, there is a growing demand for short, snappy, and attention-grabbing content. Expect to see more video editors focusing on creating content for social media platforms.

By staying on top of these trends, you’ll be well-prepared for the future of video editing and ready to create innovative and engaging content that resonates with your audience.

New Skool Community

The Hidden Archive: Free Creative Tools, Resources and a New Teleprompter App Over the past few years, I’ve created a slightly ridiculous number of things. Books. Apps. Courses. Music. Videos. Experiments. Resources. Some useful, some strange, and quite a few that sit somewhere in between. One of the things I’ve wanted to do for a while is create a single place where I can bring more of this work together and make it accessible to people who might find it useful. That place is The Hidden Archive Skool community. The idea is to build a growing library of creative

The Hidden Archive

What is The Hidden Archive? The YouTube channel finally got a rebrand. I realised two years ago that my YouTube page was starting to feel uncurated. The simple truth was that being multidisciplinary, and wanting to explore a wide variety of mediums, had led to a kind of anti-niching. In my own way, I was navigating the principle of correspondence. In creative abstraction terms, that essentially means gaining an understanding of multiple fields and then connecting the dots between them to deepen my understanding of creativity as a whole. That said, I realised that on the surface, this

What Are UFOs?

What Are UFOs and What Do They Say About Humanity? Back in 2024, I went down the rabbit hole of UFOs/ UAPs. It was around the time David Grusch hit the scene and it really did seem like we were going to get disclosure any day. There was an energy around the topic, it felt charged, so much so that I found I could rarely think of much else. I read American Cosmic by Diana Pasulka, picked up Elizondo’s Imminent, watched all the congressional hearings on the topic, and got hooked on AJ’s The Why Files. The whole

The Gnostic Creation Story

Why This Story Is Valuable While researching the Red Book series, I’d occasionally read comments linking Jung’s work to Gnosticism. I was raised by Christians, and although I’m agnostic myself (if I had to put a label on it), I’m still interested in the history of religion and more recently whether the stories hold any value in the modern world. I eventually made my way to an Alex O’Connor video with Bart Erhman where they outlined the core aspects of the Gnostic Creation Story, from the Apocryphon of John. Which then led me to a translation of those
