# 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

## How It Works

1. Upload a video of your avatar speaking (e.g., a talking head video)
2. The system analyzes the narration and automatically generates relevant B-roll footage
3. The B-roll is intelligently cut into the avatar video to create an engaging final product

## Example 1: Basic Usage

```json
POST https://backend.blotato.com/v2/videos/from-templates
Content-Type: application/json
blotato-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY

{
  "templateId": "/base/v2/ai-avatar-broll/7c26a1cd-d5b3-42da-9c73-2413333873b3/v1",
  "inputs": {
    "avatarVideoUrl": "https://example.com/my-avatar-speaking.mp4"
  },
  "render": true
}
```

## Example 2: With Hosted Video

```json
POST https://backend.blotato.com/v2/videos/from-templates
Content-Type: application/json
blotato-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY

{
  "templateId": "/base/v2/ai-avatar-broll/7c26a1cd-d5b3-42da-9c73-2413333873b3/v1",
  "inputs": {
    "avatarVideoUrl": "https://storage.example.com/videos/talking-head-video.mp4"
  },
  "render": true
}
```

## Tips for Best Results

1. Record a clear talking head video with good audio quality
2. Speak at a moderate pace to allow for B-roll insertion
3. Use natural pauses in your narration
4. Ensure consistent lighting and framing in your avatar video
