Video manipulation

A presentation showing examples of Deepfakes.

Video manipulation is a type of media manipulation that targets digital video using video processing and video editing techniques. The applications of these methods range from educational videos[1] to videos aimed at (mass) manipulation and propaganda, a straightforward extension of the long-standing possibilities of photo manipulation. This form of computer-generated misinformation has contributed to fake news, and there have been instances when this technology was used during political campaigns.[2] Other uses are less sinister; entertainment purposes and harmless pranks provide users with movie-quality artistic possibilities.
