Where does the b-roll come from?

A licensed stock library plus AI-generated imagery for subjects stock does not cover. Both are selected against your script rather than pulled from a generic keyword search.

How is this different from Smart B-Roll?

This is the underlying capability: sourcing and inserting visuals. Smart B-Roll is the context-aware selection layer on top, which decides which visual belongs at which narration beat rather than only that a visual is needed.

Do I need to license the footage separately?

No. The stock footage is licensed for use in videos produced through ShortFast, so there is nothing separate to clear or attribute.

Can I use my own footage instead?

Yes, and for anything where authenticity carries the claim, a real product, a real location, your own footage is more persuasive than either stock or generated visuals.
