Monkeys are vlogging now. Not real ones, but VEO 3 monkeys. 🙈
You might have seen clips of Genghis Khan hosting a “day in my life” video, complete with tea, camera angles, and mood music.
That’s Google VEO 3, and it’s everywhere.
There are full YouTube channels that push out these AI-generated videos daily. And they’re good. Shockingly good. Cinematic, smooth, and way too realistic.
So yeah, if you’re a video editor, we get it.
You might be thinking: “Am I done for?”
Short answer? No. And here’s why the rise of Google VEO 3 is not the end of human editing, but the beginning of a new kind of creativity.
What exactly is Google VEO 3?
Google VEO 3 is an advanced AI Video editing model designed by Google DeepMind. Unlike its silent predecessors, it can generate both visuals and native audio, including dialogue, ambient noise, and sound effects, all built right in. It lives inside Google Gemini (Pro or Ultra plan) and powers tools like Canva’s new video feature. Veo 3 can whip up 8-second clips in under two minutes, a massive leap in AI Videos.
Fast-growing trend, not human replacement
The AI Video editor world is booming. The market hit $615 million in 2024 and is expected to grow fivefold by 2032, with a 20% CAGR. Meanwhile, the broader AI market in video editing is projected to reach $4.4 billion by 2033, growing at a 17% annual rate. That rapid growth reveals one thing: AI tools are enhancing workflows, but they aren’t eliminating jobs.
In fact, 70% of video pros say AI features like auto scene detection save them time and boost their creativity. Human editors still make the big choices—storytelling, pacing, emotion, branding.

Canva added Veo 3 to its toolkit, letting anyone generate cinematic clips with synced audio and then refine them by hand.
These examples show synergy: AI Videos spark ideas; human editors refine, polish, and align them to purpose.
Why Google VEO 3 is a partner, not a rival

- Editors then add storytelling, brand voice, transitions, and finesse.
- Creative canvas
- The best AI output occurs when editors provide intelligent prompts.
- It sparks ideas. Editors apply context, emotion, and cohesion.
- Quality control remains with editors
- Veo 3 can misinterpret space, audio syncing, or multi-character scenes

How we at Solaris Studio embrace AI Video editing 😎
- Idea first, tool second. We storyboard stories, not prompts.
- Use Veo 3 for speed. Need a location shot or a product close-up fast? We turn to it.
- Human touch always comes last. We edit, refine, color-grade, and price in brand identity.
- Collaboration wins. We involve clients in creative choices—tone, pacing, message.
This mix lets us deliver top-tier quality with faster turnaround and smarter budgets. It’s what modern production looks like.
Human + AI = Better results 🤝
Here’s a quick table comparing workflows:
| Task | AI Only? | Our Human+AI Workflow |
| Idea development | ❌ | ✅ (human-led conception) |
| Rough footage | ✅ | ✅ (Veo 3 speeds this up) |
| Script & story pacing | ❌ | ✅ (humans do it better) |
| Audio mixing | ❌ | ✅ (edited, mastered by pros) |
| Final polish | ❌ | ✅ (color grading, graphics, brand tweaks) |
| Ethical/legal check | ❌ | ✅ (human-approved) |
What we see next 🧐
- Better tools, but we need better control. Veo 3 sometimes glitches with multi-character scenes or unusual camera angles.
- Pro-level editing is always needed. AI doesn’t “feel” emotion. Humans do.
- Costs are balanced. At $249 per month, Veo 3 is an investment—but it pays off when used wisely.
- Collaborative future. As Veo 3 integrates into platforms like YouTube Shorts and Canva, expect to see more hybrid workflows, with editors leading the charge.
Final thoughts💭
Google VEO 3 is a groundbreaking step in AI Video editors, bringing visuals and audio together seamlessly. The tech is undeniable. But AI isn’t replacing us—it’s elevating us.
Here’s the truth: AI Videos handle grunt work. Human creators weave meaning. Emotions. Brand personality.
