AI-generated b-roll for videos replaces expensive stock footage and eliminates the need to film extra cutaway shots. On aidowith.me, the Reels route covers 10 steps that walk you through generating, selecting, and integrating AI b-roll into your video production workflow. The route produces 3 types of AI visual content: scene-appropriate cutaways for talking head videos, abstract motion backgrounds for text overlays, and product or concept visualizations that match your brand. Video producers using AI b-roll cut stock licensing costs by 80% and reduce production time by roughly 30% per video. The full route takes about 1 hour. aidowith.me guides you step by step through prompt writing for image and video AI tools, selection criteria for usable outputs, and editing integration so your AI b-roll looks intentional - not like filler from a free stock site.

The Problem and the Fix
Without a route
- Stock footage subscriptions cost $200+ per month and you still can't find the exact shot you need
- Your talking head videos feel flat but filming additional b-roll requires equipment, time, and another person
- AI video tools generate random visuals that don't match your brand style or the topic you're covering

- A selection process that filters usable AI outputs from unusable ones in under 5 minutes per video

How It Works
Write b-roll prompts from your script
For each main point in your script, write an AI image or video prompt that captures the visual concept. The route provides 5 prompt templates for the most common b-roll types.
Generate and select usable b-roll
Run your prompts through an AI image or video tool. The route walks you through a 3-criteria selection filter: visual clarity, topic relevance, and brand fit.
Integrate b-roll into your edit
Add b-roll at the right cut points, match timing to your narration, and apply any color grading needed to match your main footage. The route covers each integration step.
Add AI-generated b-roll to your video workflow

Questions
The route works with Midjourney, DALL-E, Runway, and Kling for image and video generation. You don't need all of them - the route recommends starting with 1 image tool and 1 video tool based on your production style. Step-by-step prompt guidance covers each tool's specific syntax so your outputs are consistent and on-topic from the first generation.
For abstract visuals, concept illustrations, and motion backgrounds, AI b-roll quality matches or exceeds what's available in mid-tier stock libraries. For realistic human activity or specific location footage, AI still has limitations. The route teaches you which b-roll types work best with AI and which still warrant a stock library or original filming. Most video creators find 70 to 80% of their b-roll needs are well-covered by AI tools.
Basic video editing skills are helpful but not required. The route assumes you have footage of yourself or your product and a basic editing tool (CapCut, DaVinci Resolve, or Adobe Premiere). The b-roll integration steps are written for editors of all levels - the route explains where to place cutaways, how to time them to narration, and how to handle simple color matching.
