How to use it
Identify the exact gap in your sequence: what should viewers see while the narration or main scene continues? Choose one supporting image idea.
Write down the aspect ratio, light direction, palette, subject placement and motion of the surrounding footage. Use references you have permission to use.
Open the video studio and request one shot. Specify framing, one action and a steady ending; select supported settings and confirm the Credits estimate.
Check continuity, unnatural motion and any unwanted text. Download the clip and choose its in/out points in your editing tool. Download before the 30-day storage period ends.
Complete prompt
Start with an example
A quiet coffee cutaway
Use this prompt for a standalone supporting shot. If you need a particular cup or setting, attach an image you may use.
Video prompt
Create one continuous close-up B-roll shot of a plain ceramic cup on a walnut café table. Warm morning light enters from the left. A thin ribbon of steam rises gently; the cup and camera remain still. Keep the background softly out of focus, with no people or readable signs. Leave a brief calm moment at the start and end for editing. Natural motion, no cuts, no captions, no dialogue and no new objects.
Check the result: Compare light direction and color with neighboring shots. Watch for changing cup shapes, unstable steam, jump cuts and unexpected people or text.
Open toolAI B-roll generator for detail shots and visual cutaways
B-roll is supporting footage used alongside the main action or narration. In Sparkles, describe the missing shot, optionally add reference images, and generate a separate clip. Match its lighting and composition to your project before adding it to your final edit.

Common questions
What is B-roll?
It is secondary footage that supports a main scene, interview or narration. Examples include a location view, a product detail or a simple action. Its usefulness depends on how it fits the surrounding edit.
Can Sparkles automatically add B-roll to my video?
This workflow generates a separate clip. It does not ingest your editing timeline or automatically cut a finished program. Download the result and position it with your other material.
How can I make the clip easier to edit?
Request a single shot with a simple action and steady opening and closing moments. Keep its format and light direction consistent with the project, then choose precise timing in your editing tool.
