They walk you through the whole process—from grabbing footage to the headache of syncing audio—and drop practical tips on spotting deepfakes (shoutout to Hany Farid’s crash course on fake AI photos). Chapters guide you through the “gotcha” moment, why a DIY approach would’ve taken forever, key red flags and more.
