(*) What is B Roll?
B Roll (sometimes written as B-Roll or Broll) refers to secondary footage that visually supports the primary footage in a film or video project. It’s usually interwoven with the main footage for a variety of purposes, including enhancing the story, adding dramatic tension, and elaborating a point.
Create a Media Mix
You can create a Media Mix in multiple ways. From the Quick Links sidebar menu or from within a workspace.
