B-roll refers to supplemental or alternative footage that is intercut with the main shot in a video. This footage enhances the narrative by providing additional context, visual interest, and depth to the primary footage. By incorporating B-roll, you can make your videos more engaging and visually appealing. It helps to break the monotony of a single shot and can illustrate points more effectively, making your work not only more attractive but also easier to understand and follow.
Using a Simplified video app, adding B-roll to your videos is straightforward and efficient. The app offers a B-roll video editing option that allows you to enhance your clip with just a few simple steps.
