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.

Use before

Stock footage search and media kit export

Best for

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.
