Add cinematic B-roll to any video, automatically.
Vidpal reads your script or transcript and places relevant B-roll for every scene — no stock-site hunting, no timeline dragging. Upload your own clip or generate a faceless video from scratch.
Free plan · no credit card required
B-roll that looks like you hired an editor.
Relevant footage placed per scene, plus captions, zoom, and effects — done for you, adjustable whenever you want.
Matched to what you're saying
Vidpal reads the script or transcript and places relevant B-roll for each scene — footage that illustrates the point, not random filler.
No stock-site hunting
Stop tabbing out to search stock libraries and dragging clips onto a timeline. The B-roll is sourced and placed for you, automatically.
Works on your own uploads
Upload a talking-head clip and AI Editing auto-adds B-roll, zoom punches, captions, and emojis — then you fine-tune in the timeline editor.
Or generated from scratch
In the autonomous pipeline, B-roll is composed per scene as part of a finished faceless video — no upload needed at all.
Captions and effects included
B-roll is only part of it. Word-level animated captions, zoom punches, and sound effects are added in the same pass for a finished, polished cut.
You stay in control
Everything lands in a full timeline editor. Swap a B-roll clip, retime it, or remove it — automatic by default, adjustable whenever you want.

AI B-Roll FAQ
What is B-roll?
B-roll is the supplementary footage cut over your main video — the shots that illustrate what's being said while the primary audio continues. It's what makes a talking-head clip or voiceover feel produced instead of static, and it keeps viewers visually engaged. Learn more in our guide on what B-roll is.
How do I add B-roll to a video automatically?
Upload your clip to Vidpal's AI Editing, and it transcribes the video and automatically places relevant B-roll (plus zoom punches, captions, and emojis) matched to what's being said — which you can then fine-tune in the timeline. Or use the autonomous pipeline, where B-roll is composed per scene as part of a finished faceless video.
Is there a free AI B-roll tool?
Yes. Vidpal has a free plan with no credit card required, so you can add automatic B-roll to a video and see the result before subscribing. There's also a full library of free AI video tools alongside it.
Does the B-roll actually match my content?
Yes — Vidpal reads the script or transcript and selects footage relevant to each scene, rather than dropping in generic filler. And because everything lands in a timeline editor, you can swap or remove any clip that isn't right, so the final cut is always yours.
Can I use it on my own footage or only generated videos?
Both. Upload your own talking-head or voiceover clip and AI Editing adds B-roll to it, or let the autonomous pipeline generate a faceless video with B-roll composed per scene from scratch.
Stop hunting for stock footage.
Let Vidpal place cinematic B-roll for you — on your uploads or on videos it generates from scratch.
