Video is already barely a reliable proof of anything at all these days. We've already been creating a library of believable-looking fakes for decades: movies and TV shows. Sometimes someone samples something from that library and tries to sell it as real event, and people get tricked.

That costs a lot of money though. Hard for a Russian troll farm (or what have you) to whip out tons of fully fake clips the way Disney can in a film.
As the tech gets cheaper, this calculous changes.
It's hard for them to whip out fully fake clips, but it's easy for them to sample Disney, or SyFy, or news coverage, or comedy sketches that look very much like real interviews, etc. and cut them into a short clip to publish on social media.
