Look at any trending video on social media. You’ll instantly realize that it contains not only the main shot of the speaker, but also has cutaways to B-roll (stock footage) which demonstrate the ideas being talked about.

But the reason for including B-roll is not just to explain the idea in the video. Its main purpose is to keep the video engaging for the viewer!

With FireCut, you can add Premium B-roll videos from Storyblocks automatically based on your video’s content, with no need to review the video yourself and search for stock assets on various websites.

The best part: as FireCut is a Storyblocks partner, the usage license is included in your FireCut subscription!

To find B-roll / stock footage with FireCut, go to “Find B-roll” , fine-tune your settings and click “Go”.

FireCut, then analyzes your video to find key concepts that can be demonstrated with stock footage. It then finds you the best stock videos that would go well with your main video (A-roll) and adds them automatically to your sequence at the right times!

You can even review the results list and pick alternative stock footage to swap in.

But what if you have your own stock footage, for example recordings of yourself doing some work or hiking or skiing, that you want FireCut to use?

No problem! You can build a “Personal” B-roll library in FireCut by adding a folder to be processed. This folder is scanned for videos which are then tagged automatically with FireCut’s AI. You can also add / modify tags yourself for better control.

FireCut’s Find B-roll feature will save you so much time on every single edit by taking out that extra step in your editing workflow.
