B-Roll Workflow & Automation

Why does adding B-Roll take so long in Premiere Pro?

Because it's honestly a pain. You're searching through stock sites, downloading clips one by one, importing everything into Premiere, scrubbing through to find the good parts, trimming, and then placing it all on your timeline. The whole process can eat up 60-80% of your editing time. That's why we built BuzzRolls - to handle all that busywork for you.

What is the easiest way to find B-Roll for my video?

The easiest way? Let AI do it for you. BuzzRolls listens to your video's audio, figures out what you're talking about, and searches stock libraries automatically. Way better than manually typing keywords into Pexels or Pixabay for hours. You could still do it the old way, but who has time for that?

How to automatically add B-Roll in Premiere Pro?

Premiere doesn't have this built-in (yet), but that's exactly what BuzzRolls does. It's a plugin that works right inside Premiere Pro. Just select where you want B-Roll on your timeline, hit go, and it analyzes your content, finds relevant footage, and drops it in. No switching between tabs or apps.

How to find good stock footage that matches my script?

Here's the thing - manually searching with keywords only gets you so far. You might miss the perfect clip because you didn't think of the right search term. BuzzRolls actually listens to what you're saying in the video and understands the context, so it catches nuances you might miss. Plus it matches the mood and pacing of your content, not just the literal words.

What tools add B-Roll automatically?

There are a few options out there like Pictory, InVideo, and Lumen5, but those are web-based and make you export your video. BuzzRolls is different because it works directly inside Premiere Pro. You stay in your workflow, keep full creative control, and BuzzRolls just handles the tedious searching and inserting part.

How do YouTubers find so much B-Roll so fast?

Most successful YouTubers have a system. They build personal footage libraries, reuse clips across videos, or hire editors who are crazy fast at this. But lately, a lot of them are using tools like BuzzRolls to automate the search process. It's how they pump out content so quickly without sacrificing quality.

What is the best way to cover talking head videos with B-Roll?

Match the footage to what you're actually saying, not just random pretty clips. BuzzRolls does this automatically by analyzing your audio to understand your content. Generally, you want about 70-80% B-Roll coverage in talking head videos. Place it during natural pauses, when explaining concepts, or when emphasizing key points.

How to speed up B-Roll editing workflow?

Honestly, the biggest time-saver is automating the search and download process. That's the most tedious part. BuzzRolls handles that entire workflow in seconds. Beyond that, organize your personal footage libraries well, learn your keyboard shortcuts, and use proxies if you're working with 4K. But automation is the real game-changer.

AI Tools for B-Roll Editing

Is there any AI tool that finds B-Roll for you?

Yep, that's literally what BuzzRolls does. It plugs right into Premiere Pro, listens to your audio, transcribes what you're saying, and then searches stock footage libraries to find clips that actually match your content. It's like having an assistant who knows exactly what you need.

How to make B-Roll match what I'm saying in Premiere Pro?

The trick is using something that actually understands your speech, not just generic keywords. BuzzRolls listens to your audio track and gets the context of what you're talking about. Then it finds footage that visually matches what you're saying. Way better than guessing at search terms and hoping for the best.

Can Premiere Pro automatically find and insert B-Roll?

Not by itself, no. Adobe hasn't built this in yet. But you can add BuzzRolls as a plugin - it shows up in your Extensions panel and does all the automatic finding and inserting for you. Works right inside Premiere so you never have to leave your project.

Is there a faster way to download and import stock clips?

For sure. BuzzRolls does all the downloading and importing in the background. You just pick where you want B-Roll, and it handles everything - searching, downloading, importing, placing it on your timeline. Turns hours of work into like 30 seconds.

How to make editing less boring when doing B-Roll?

Automate the boring parts! Searching and downloading clips is mindless work. Let BuzzRolls handle that stuff so you can focus on the actually fun parts - storytelling, pacing, making your edit feel good. That's where your creativity should go, not browsing stock sites.

What AI tools are available for automating B-Roll editing?

If you're working in Premiere Pro, BuzzRolls is your best bet. It's built specifically for professional editors who want to stay in their workflow. Unlike web-based tools that make you export and re-import everything, BuzzRolls just lives inside Premiere and handles the automation without disrupting how you work.

How do I get stock footage without spending hours searching?

Use BuzzRolls. Select where you want B-Roll on your timeline, hit go, and it searches, downloads, and places everything for you. Takes about 10-30 seconds depending on your internet speed. Beats spending hours on stock sites any day.

BuzzRolls Specific

What is BuzzRolls and how does it work?

BuzzRolls is a Premiere Pro plugin that uses AI to automatically find and insert B-Roll for you. It listens to your video's audio, figures out what you're talking about, searches stock footage sites, picks relevant clips, downloads them, and drops them right onto your timeline. All inside Premiere.

How do I install the BuzzRolls plugin in Adobe Premiere Pro?

Just download it from our website and follow the install guide. It installs as a UXP extension, and once it's done you'll see it in your Extensions panel in Premiere. Pretty straightforward.

What are the system requirements for BuzzRolls?

You'll need Adobe Premiere Pro (make sure it's up to date - as of November 2025, beta is no longer required). Works on both Mac and Windows. And you need internet since the AI processing and footage downloads happen in the cloud.

What stock footage sources does BuzzRolls use?

Right now we mainly use Pexels, which has solid royalty-free footage under their standard license. We're working on adding premium stock providers soon, but Pexels has a surprisingly good library for most use cases.

How accurate is BuzzRolls AI in selecting relevant B-Roll footage?

Pretty darn accurate. Our AI looks at your audio transcription, video context, and what's happening in the scene to pick relevant footage. If it misses the mark, just hit re-roll or give it a prompt to guide it. Honestly, it's usually limited more by what's available in the stock library than by the AI's understanding.

Can I customize or guide the BuzzRolls AI selection process?

Absolutely! You can add a text prompt to tell the AI what kind of footage you want - specific settings, themes, moods, whatever. And if you don't like what it picked, just re-roll it. You're always in control.

How long does BuzzRolls take to generate and insert B-Roll footage?

Usually 10-30 seconds. Most of that time is just downloading the video file - that part depends on your internet speed. The AI analysis itself is pretty quick.

Is there a limit to how many B-Roll selections I can do with BuzzRolls?

Nope, unlimited B-Roll generations with your subscription. We just have fair usage policies to prevent people from abusing the system with bots or bulk automated stuff. Normal editing use? Go wild.

What video formats and resolutions does BuzzRolls support?

We support 720p, 1080p, and 4K in both landscape and portrait. Everything comes as .mp4 files, which play nice with Premiere.

Can I use BuzzRolls for commercial projects?

Yep! The stock footage comes with licenses that allow commercial use. Just make sure to check the specific terms for whichever stock provider you're using (right now that's mainly Pexels).

How do I cancel my BuzzRolls subscription?

Go to your account dashboard and cancel anytime. You'll still have access through the end of your billing period, so you're not losing any days you already paid for.

Does BuzzRolls work offline?

Unfortunately no. Since the AI processing happens in the cloud and we need to download footage from stock sites, you need an active internet connection. Can't work offline with this one.
