Question

What is B-roll, and why use it?

Answer

B-roll is the secondary footage — hands working, product close-ups, scenery — that you cut to over your main clip or voiceover. It keeps videos visually interesting and hides edits.

A little B-roll makes talking-head and voiceover videos far more watchable. Editing tools help you add it — compare design tools.
