This is such an interesting perspective. I feel the exact same way as a video producer/editor. The tools we are getting are incredible, and tasks that used to take literally days can be done now in minutes. It’s kind of baffling what we have in our toolbox. But it is also radically changing the expectations of our clients and I find I don’t get to spend as much time on the nuts and bolts I really enjoy - cut, color, and baking the best possible export for the situation - and instead have to find a plug-in to solve every little issue a client thinks up (or created for me haha). On a somewhat related but tangential note: I also now have clients demanding certain programs and ecosystems, which is absolutely ridiculous to me. The software I use to give you a final cut should in no way be determined by you. Yet somehow we have ceded that ground!
