Auto B-roll

Auto B-roll: the cutaways find themselves

Searching stock sites, downloading clips and dragging them onto a timeline is the slowest part of editing a talking video. Zupum's auto B-roll does all three for you - it reads your transcript, picks a visual for each moment and drops it exactly where it belongs.

From raw clip to covered edit in one pass

Upload your raw footage and Zupum AI cuts the silences, writes the captions and adds auto B-roll in a single first draft. You review the result instead of building it - most videos are ready in minutes, not hours.

  • Cutaways matched to the exact words you speak
  • Royalty-free stock video and images searched first
  • AI image and video B-roll generated when stock has nothing
  • Graphic B-roll: bullet lists, checklists, big stats and pull quotes
  • Silences removed and captions added in the same pass
  • Your own images or clips can fill any slot

Made for phone videos and wide videos

Tall phone footage gets cutaways on the top or bottom half with your face kept in a circular frame. Wide footage gets full-screen cutaways, so nothing looks squashed or out of place.

Every cutaway stays editable

Auto does not mean locked. Retime any slot to the second, regenerate a single visual with a new prompt, flip it from AI to stock, or switch a whole section of B-roll off with one toggle.

Open the Zupum studio, drop in a clip and watch the cutaways appear.

questions

Frequently asked

What is auto B-roll?

Auto B-roll means the editor listens to what you say, finds a matching clip or image for each moment and places it on the timeline for you - no manual searching or dragging.

Where does Zupum's auto B-roll come from?

It searches a royalty-free stock library first and generates AI image or video B-roll only when nothing relevant exists. You can also upload your own.

Can I turn auto B-roll off for part of my video?

Yes - every section of the edit has its own on/off switch, and any single cutaway can be deleted, retimed or replaced without touching the rest.

Does auto B-roll work on vertical and wide videos?

Yes. Tall phone videos get half-screen cutaways with your face in a circular frame; wide videos get full-screen cutaways so nothing looks squashed.
