Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I get AI generated B-roll?

You can find stock B-roll anywhere online, especially from leading stock providers like iStock and Pexels. For AI generated B-roll, we recommend trying Kapwing’s AI B-Roll Generator to add B-roll to your videos. This B-roll generator detects the topics in your video, then generates specific B-roll footage for your video. With Kapwing, you also have access to 100+ video editing tools to edit and polish your final video afterward.

How can I find free B-roll?

Any copyright-free stock footage or images can work as B-roll. You can find free B-roll across countless websites online. If you use Kapwing, you can explore millions of free B-roll content right in the editor as you edit videos.

How much B-roll should you shoot?

Depends on the length of your video and how many topics are mentioned that you feel need B-roll to pair with. If you feel you don’t have enough time to shoot B-roll, we suggest using a B-roll generator to automatically find B-roll online for you to use. Today, marketing teams and agencies alike use Kapwing’s B-roll generator for B-roll and quick polishes.

What is B-roll in video editing?

Essentially, B-roll is content that is secondary to your primary video. Take a talking head YouTube video for example: the primary video content (A-roll) is the footage with the subject talking, and B-roll would be any footage or graphics that overlay the primary footage. Having B-roll footage and graphics in your video glues topics together much easier and gives your audience more context.

By the far the most user friendly software to use.

As a housewife at home looking to start a Youtube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.

As a English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Excellent subtitling features

[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!
