I'm a Single creator as of now. So all shots and editing are done by myself. Your video is really interesting to watch.

Even as someone who’s been making videos for a while now... I’m loving the “back to the basics” tutorials 💙

I am a solo creator. I have a travel channel and ALMOST bought access to b-roll sites. I quickly realized that I am OUT there, traveling and have all the footage I need, with some exceptions. Thank you, so much for showing me how easy it is to incorporate B-Roll into my videos. I am entering my 2nd year in YouTube and I want to hit it with a bang with some pro upgrades. Appreciate you!

[misswiggie]

Solo content creator right here! Thank you so much for clarifying the difference between A-roll and B-roll! I take all of my own photos and shoot as much video content as I can, on my own, but also with the help of my brother if he's available 😁.

I've just started incorporating B roll in my recent videos and I love the complexity and professionalism that it imparts. Thanks for this video and I would love a more detailed video on editing workflow for B roll and videos in general. I know there are a lot out there, but coming from a content source that I rely on to be clear and concise is always nice. Poetry.

I’m a new solo creator! I just started my channel recently and I’m having fun learning all about editing! This video is great because I randomly get B roll and try to use it when I can but I need to start planning it out. I realized how much it elevates the video. Thanks so much for making these great videos!

As a solo and new creator I use B-Roll more & more. The best tip I got from this video was just laying the camera down while shooting B-Roll. Super simple and will help speed up the workflow. Good Tips, Thanks!

B roll is something that I definitely want to explore in the future. Thanks for your tips!

Excellent job of breaking this down into small steps. Thankfully hubby has experience with his own channel so he is helping me with set up.
We needed new editing software so I took the plunge and started learning Davinci Resolve. Loving it so far.
