Find real public YouTube footage about a topic or person (e.g. Anthony Bourdain) and turn the relevant moments into clean 9:16, silent B-roll clips for an avatar reel. The found-footage counterpart of broll-generator — instead of synthesizing B-roll with AI, it searches YouTube, fetches timecoded transcripts so the agent can pick the relevant windows WITHOUT downloading whole videos, downloads only those segments, and normalizes them into a broll/-compatible manifest…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# 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). ## ⚠️ Rights / licensing (read first) Third-party YouTube footage is **copyrighted**. This skill records the license of every clip and labels it: - **Creative Commons** (`--creative-commons`) → reuse generally allowed **with …

How to install
mdr add puntorigen/avatar-skills/broll-finder@sha256:0fd5c1cb7a0b901aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260709.ec45941, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
