broll-finder
B-roll Finder (real footage from YouTube)
The found-footage counterpart of broll-generator. Where broll-generator
synthesizes B-roll with an AI model, broll-finder finds real public
YouTube footage about a topic or person (e.g. Anthony Bourdain),
downloads only the relevant windows, and normalizes them into the same clean
9:16, silent, manifest-backed clips that avatar-reel-composer lays under an
avatar voice-over.
Key difference from broll-generator: that one forbids the presenter on
screen. Here the footage often should show the subject (Bourdain himself in
a market) — found B-roll can contain real people and the subject.
It is an orchestrator built on existing skills' patterns:
reel-discovery (search), youtube-audio-toolkit / video-transcribe
(transcripts), youtube-videos (yt-dlp download) and broll-generator
(manifest + ffmpeg normalization).
