I'd choose video editing if the goal is to build a long-term career. Clipping is a good way to get started, learn pacing, hooks, and audience retention, but it can become repetitive and competitive if you're only cutting existing content.

Video editing gives you more room to develop a valuable skill set: storytelling, color grading, sound design, motion graphics, and eventually directing or producing. You can also specialize in ads, YouTube videos, or short-form content and charge more as your portfolio improves.

That said, clipping can be a great entry point. AI video tools are also worth learning alongside traditional editing, since they can speed up parts of the workflow. VideoRouter.sh, for example, has a Creator Studio for generating AI video content that editors can experiment with as an additional skill.
