Is there a cheaper alternative to ChatGPT Astra or Claude Opus for AI video editing?
A user paying 100 euros a month for ChatGPT, mostly for Astra Medium video editing, wants something cheaper that still handles intelligent cuts, stock footage selection and sound effects, plus agentic coding that can run commands and edit files. Qwen Code is floated as an option. The economical pattern is to route repetitive editing work to a cheap model and reserve the expensive model for judgment calls.
