Features: B_roll Organizer

What is B_roll?

B_roll is a term used in video production to refer to "auxiliary footage" or "supplemental footage". It is usually not the main content (such as dialog or interviews), but additional material to enrich the picture and add a sense of story. For example:

• You shoot an interview where the main character is talking, this is the main shot (A_roll).
• You add some landscapes, street images or detailed close-ups, these are B_roll.

The purpose of B_roll is to make the video look more vivid and avoid monotony. For example, when talking about food, inserting shots of chopping and plating is B_roll.

Want to add auxiliary lenses to improve video quality?

1. Upload the main video and then upload the B_roll material.
2. Enter "Organize B_roll by topic".
3. Eddie AI analyzes the content and classifies the material into categories such as "Landscape" and "People".
4. Type "Insert Related B_roll" at the time of editing and the AI will automatically match and add it.

real-life exampleEddie AI will pick out the food dialog and match it with your uploaded landscape footage for a professional look.
