YouTube B-roll checklist
Use this checklist to make sure each script beat has a clear visual role before the edit starts.
Quick answer
Strong B-roll supports the script, covers edits, and keeps viewer attention.
The most useful B-roll is selected by scene, not downloaded as a loose batch.

Stock footage search and media kit export

Script-first YouTube production
SCNZ fit
Automates many of these checks by scene
Confirm the visual job
For each scene, decide whether the B-roll should establish context, illustrate a concept, hide a cut, show evidence, or create pacing.
Search by meaning
Use keywords that describe the idea in the scene, not only the literal words in the narration.
Organize by scene
Keep selected footage grouped with the scene it supports so the edit does not depend on memory or file names alone.
