Plentake reads your transcript and plans b-roll moment by moment — stock footage, AI images and video, motion graphics and punch-in zooms. You review the whole plan and approve before anything touches your timeline.
Good b-roll is what separates a flat talking-head clip from something that feels produced — but adding it is tedious. You scrub the timeline, hunt for the right stock shot, drop it in, trim it, repeat. Do that across a ten-minute video and an afternoon disappears.
Plentake's B-Roll Editor works from your words instead. It reads your transcript and plans the b-roll moment by moment — deciding where a visual belongs and what kind fits best. For each moment it can pull stock footage and photos, generate AI images and video, create AI motion graphics, or add a punch-in zoom. You see the full plan, then approve it. Nothing lands on your timeline until you say so.
Three moves, all inside Premiere Pro — no exporting to a browser tool, no re-importing.
Plentake transcribes your sequence once, then plans the b-roll moment by moment — where each visual goes and what type fits the line you're saying.
For every moment it pulls stock footage and photos, generates AI images and video, creates motion graphics, or sets up a punch-in zoom.
Review the full plan and approve. An automatic sequence backup is made first, then approved b-roll drops onto your timeline as regular, editable Premiere clips.
Most b-roll tools just hand you a folder of stock clips to place yourself. Plentake builds a moment-by-moment plan from your transcript, mixes stock with AI-generated visuals and motion graphics, and does the placing — all inside your timeline, and only after you approve.
From a raw talking-head sequence to a full b-roll plan on your timeline.

Plentake reads the transcript and builds a moment-by-moment plan: where stock footage, AI images and video, motion graphics and punch-in zooms should go.
For each moment Plentake pulls stock or generates the AI visuals and motion graphics — sized to your sequence, horizontal 16:9 or vertical 9:16.
Preview every clip and adjust the plan before anything touches your timeline. Nothing is applied until you approve.
Approved b-roll is placed on your timeline as normal Premiere clips. Retime, restyle or remove any of them like any other edit. An automatic backup of your sequence is made first.

Yes. Everything lands as normal, editable Premiere clips — move them, retime them, restyle or delete them like any other edit. Approved b-roll is placed on your timeline, not baked into a flat render.
Yes — b-roll is sized to your sequence, so it works for both horizontal 16:9 and vertical 9:16 (Shorts, Reels, TikTok) timelines.
Yes. The AI reads your transcript to decide what b-roll fits each moment. Your video is transcribed once and reused by every tool, so you never pay to transcribe it twice.
