  Video editing can be a very tedious task, so unsurprisingly Artificial
Intelligence has been increasingly used to streamline the workflow or automate
away tedious tasks. However, it is very difficult to get an overview of what
intelligent video editing tools are in the research literature and needs for
automation from the video editors. So, we identified the field of intelligent
video editing tools in research, and we survey the opinions of professional
video editors. We have also summarized current state of the art in artificial
intelligence research with the intention of identifying what are the
possibilities and current technical limits towards truly intelligent video
editing tools. The findings contribute towards understanding of the field of
intelligent video editing tools, highlights unaddressed automation needs by the
survey and provides general suggestions for further research in intelligent
video editing tools.
