AI VIDEO GUIDE
What should you look for in an AI video generator with B-roll?
Short answer
B-roll is the supporting footage shown over narration. In an AI video generator, look for B-roll that matches each line of the script, footage you are allowed to use, and an easy way to review and swap clips before publishing.
Why B-roll matters
In short-form video, the picture changes every few seconds. Relevant B-roll keeps viewers oriented and makes abstract points concrete; irrelevant B-roll makes a video feel automated even when the script is good.
What to look for
- Relevance: clips chosen from the meaning of the script, not just keywords.
- Rights: clear terms for how the footage may be used.
- Control: the ability to review the draft before it goes out.
- Consistency: a visual style that fits your brand or channel.
Signs of weak B-roll
- The same generic clip types in every video.
- Footage that contradicts what the narrator says.
- Visuals that stay on screen long after the point has moved on.
