More importantly, if you have spent thousands of dollars on talent, equipment, locations, and help, why would you want to try to go the cheapest route to have someone just slap it together?
Hands up all the video editors who hve actually taken some training!

This about sums it up. If you spend a ton of bling on models, sets, and shoots, you do not want it handled by the lowest bidding turd.
While editing in any prog is a learning curve, and maticulous beyond belief, it's something you learn or don't. A lot give up easily, slap some slop together, and then call it good. Lighting makes an enormous video quality difference, but video editing takes a lot of fawkin time. Both in editing, but also in compiling it, and so on depending on length of clips.
