Speakeasy

Use cinematic B-roll when the video needs visual proof.

Cinematic B-roll mixes generated presenter shots with supporting visuals such as product visuals, pages, documents, charts, or other source assets.

Purpose

What B-roll does

Use B-roll when a single talking-head shot is not enough. It helps the viewer see the product, page, proof point, document, or workflow being discussed by the presenter.

Speakeasy cinematic B-roll configuration screen
The B-roll step controls whether to keep the presenter full-time or mix supporting visuals into the rendered video.

Render

Render choices

Full presenter
Keep the presenter on screen for the full runtime. Use this when direct address and facial delivery are the main point.
B-roll mix
Alternate between presenter and supporting visuals. Use this for product walkthroughs, proof-led pitches, announcements, and explainers.
Preview first
Generate a preview before committing to a final render, especially when source material is long or visually dense.

Inputs

Source material to provide

  • Actual product images or page URLs.
  • Short demo clips or screen recordings.
  • Documents, charts, slides, or reports that should be visible in the video.
  • Brand or offer material that helps the visual system choose relevant supporting shots.
  • A clear CTA destination if the video will later be used in a campaign or landing page.

Use real assets when possible

B-roll is strongest when the render can reference the actual product, page, or proof material the viewer should understand.
