Low exposure

Exposure basis

[v3/median] score 35 (A 45 / B 15 / C 35, spread 30) AI can auto‑assemble and cut footage using scene detection and transcript cues, but it still falls short of the nuanced storytelling, pacing, and creative decisions required for professional‑level film editing. (capable: AI video editing platforms (e.g., Adobe Sensei, Runway, Descript))
