Abstract :The trailer editing of director Luke Scott\\\'s 2016 movie Morgan, which would normally take 10-30 days, was completed in just one day with artificial intelligence technology used for the first time. Since then, artificial intelligence tools in film editing have changed the business practices of editors with automatic uses that reduce the workload. The aim of the study is to reveal how the profession of editing has transformed, perspectives on the future of the profession and professional concerns by explaining the editing practices that have changed with artificial intelligence through the experiences of Turkish editors. Artificial intelligence tools reduce the work time in the cinema and television sector and require the acquisition of different expertise. In the study, an in-depth interview was conducted with 11 editors with at least two years of experience in the publishing industry who made edits using different types of programs and different software, and the obtained data were categorized by descriptive analysis. Turkish editors stated that artificial intelligence tools, which are updated with each new version of the editing programs they use, clearly reduce their previously long-lasting and challenging effective work. Although artificial intelligence creates a pessimistic perspective on the profession, it has been stated by the editors that the need for creative people will never end. This situation requires the editors to be good artificial intelligence users other than the editing program they use.
