# AI Avatar with AI Generated B-roll

Create AI avatar videos with automatically generated B-roll footage that complements the narration.

## When to Use This Template

* You have a talking head video (from HeyGen, a webcam, or your phone) and want to add AI-generated b-roll footage that matches your narration
* You are a coach, educator, or thought leader who records yourself speaking and wants to make the video more engaging with relevant visuals
* You want to enhance existing avatar or webcam footage for LinkedIn, YouTube, or Instagram without manually sourcing b-roll
