Video editing is overwhelming for non-professionals, who struggle with pacing, transitions, and color grading.

An AI plugin could analyze raw footage and suggest edits, cuts, and effects based on the intended mood and audience.

Freelancers and small businesses would pay to save time on client projects.

Start with a simple API that suggests cuts and basic transitions.

Risk: OpenShot's user base might be too small or not willing to pay for plugins.
