Video creation and editing software

Technology category · O*NET

Video creation and editing software is a technology category in the O*NET database. Across U.S. occupations, 140 report using software or tools in this category. The named products below are the specific examples O*NET records for those jobs. The occupations that use it sit, on average, at the 82nd percentile of AI task-exposure ( high) — how much that work overlaps with what AI can do, not a sign the tool is being replaced. See where every tool category sits.

A Hot tag marks technologies O*NET sees frequently in employer job postings; In demand marks tools an occupation specifically requires.

Example software & tools

Ranked by how many occupations list each product. Each number is an occupation count — a job is counted once per product — so the product rows overlap and do not sum to the category total.

How AI is used by roles that use Video creation and editing software

A software category is not itself "being automated" — but we can look at the roles that report using Video creation and editing software and ask how those people actually use AI. This rolls the Anthropic Economic Index per-role signal up across those roles, weighted by how much observed AI activity each one has. 65.7% of the 140 roles that use this category carry observed AI-usage data (92 roles).

Across those roles, 58.2% of AI conversations are people working with AI and 36.9% hand a task to AI , with an average autonomy of 3.80 / 5.

Collaboration pattern Share What it means
task iteration 38.8% you and AI go back and forth
directive 35.1% AI does it; you give the instruction
learning 13.6% you ask AI to explain or teach
validation 5.8% you do it; AI checks your work
feedback loop 1.9% AI does it, then adjusts from your feedback

Roles behind this signal

The roles using this category that have the most AEI data. "Works with AI" is the role's share of conversations that augment rather than automate.

Source: Anthropic Economic Index (2026-01-15-v4-plus-2025-03-27-v2) over a sample of Claude.ai Free and Pro conversations — not all AI tools and not the whole workforce. Roles list software categories in O*NET; this does not mean AI is used inside Video creation and editing software, only that people in those roles use AI. Some conversations are left unclassified, so shares need not sum to 100.

Industries that concentrate this

Where Video creation and editing software matters most across the economy. Employment reach is the share of an industry's workers in occupations that significantly use Video creation and editing software (O*NET importance ≥ 3 of 5, or report using the tool category). Concentration compares that reach to the national average industry, so a value above 1× means the requirement is more pervasive here than across the economy as a whole.

Nationally, about 33.9% of workers are in occupations that significantly use Video creation and editing software (measured across 67 industries).

Reach is a measure of how widespread a requirement is across an industry's workforce, not how intensively any individual uses it. Sector worker counts come from BLS OEWS employment; the significance threshold and tool use come from O*NET. Industries shown by concentration are filtered to a real worker base so a tiny specialty cannot top the list on rounding.
