Marketing & Growth

How are founders making short-form video with AI, without a studio or an editor?

Tools like OpusClip auto-cut long recordings into captioned vertical clips, Descript lets you edit video by editing the transcript text, and HeyGen-style avatars remove the camera entirely once you have cloned yourself. Founders like Varun Mayya run entire multi-platform video operations this way. Start by clipping real footage you already have; avatars come later, and always disclose them.
