How do I make short-form video with AI without a video team?

Two AI routes replace a video team: clip a long recording into 10-20 shorts with a tool like OpusClip, or skip the camera entirely with an avatar clone (HeyGen, Synthesia) reading your script. Indian creator-founder Varun Mayya runs 60M+ monthly views largely through an AI clone of himself. Draft scripts with AI but rewrite the delivery in your spoken voice; retention dies when the words do not sound like you.
