B-roll Actor Copy (the avatar copies a video's motion)

The motion-transfer member of the broll family. Where broll-avatar-camera animates ONE start frame with a text action prompt and broll-story animates an illustrated storyboard, broll-actor-copy copies a real driving video's whole performance onto our avatar — the avatar re-does the exact movement, gestures, expressions and lip movements of the video, keeping its own identity + look.

It is a thin orchestrator over one Replicate model: bytedance/dreamactor-m2.0 — image (the avatar's look hero) + driving video → a video of the avatar performing the video's motion.

Why DreamActor M2.0: it learns motion from raw video pixels instead of extracting a human skeleton, so it animates realistic humans, stylized drawings, cartoons and animals alike — ideal for our varied avatars. It keeps the reference identity while accurately copying the motion, and the output resolution equals the reference image's resolution.
