The M2 chip brings more speed to everything you do — whether you’re editing a video for class, collaborating on a business plan or streaming a show while you shop online. And with all-day battery life, you can leave the power adapter at home.

Do you have a problem editing a video on a MacBook Air?

It can edit videos and the M2 air is more than capable of doing so. Just won't hold the same performance for extended periods of time. This marketing material also doesn't defunk the fact that 99% of air users don't put their air through long heavy workloads. Speak to anyone that actually does video editing as a job or just does heavy loads on a consistent basis, they are going to need 16gb of ram and at least 512gb storage. When air is upgraded to that, you might as well go for the 14in pro that gives these editors significantly more processing power. The targeted consumer for the air simply don't care about long, heavy load performance.

editing a video for class

Keyword here is "for class", which is not a "pro" use.
