<aside> ℹ️
Everything you need to turn your B-roll bank into a storytelling engine: from understanding the workflows that create real content to organizing your footage library.
</aside>
The power of a B-roll bank is that one library fuels every type of story you want to tell. Each workflow starts with the same foundation but produces a completely different kind of content. You can edit manually or let Ava handle it.
| Workflow | You provide | Manual edit | With Ava | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UGC edit | A-roll (talking head) + B-roll | Cut A-roll, layer B-roll cutaways, add text + music (~30–60 min) | Upload both, Ava structures the edit (~2–5 min) | Product demos, testimonials, personal takes |
| Narration + B-roll | Voice memo or MP3 + B-roll bank | Match B-roll to narration on your timeline, add transitions (~30–60 min) | Upload audio + B-roll, Ava matches beat by beat (~2–5 min) | Thought leadership, commentary, deep dives |
| Insight → script + narration | A written idea, opinion, or story | Write full script, record narration, edit with B-roll (~1–2 hrs) | Write a few sentences, Ava generates script, narration, and edit (~2–5 min) | Daily insights, hot takes, opinion pieces |
| Interview → topic extraction | Longform interview or conversation | Scrub through, mark timestamps, cut + add B-roll per clip (~2–4 hrs) | Upload recording, Ava extracts topics + matches B-roll (~5–10 min) | Podcast clips, founder interviews, customer stories |
| Event / BTS recap | Event or behind-the-scenes footage | Select best moments, arrange narrative, add music (~1–3 hrs) | Drop footage, Ava assembles the story (~5–10 min) | Conferences, launches, team moments |
| PDF script → edit | Written script from a content day | Break into scenes, match B-roll, record narration, edit (~1–2 hrs) | Upload PDF + B-roll bank, Ava builds the edit (~2–5 min) | Batched content, planned series, campaigns |
One library. Six workflows. Edit however you want. Each one produces a real video with structure, pacing, and narrative.
