# B-Roll

B-roll lets you create smooth, cinematic transitions between two images, helping you add subtle motion and visual interest without producing full video footage. It’s an easy way to elevate static visuals and make them feel more dynamic and polished.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open B-roll in your dashboard

Open your Holo dashboard, click on the **Video** tile, and select **B-roll**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Choose the starting and ending frames

Select the first and the last image for your transition. You can upload an image from your computer or choose one from your creative library.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Describe your idea

Optionally describe how the transition should look like—for example, a smooth zoom, gentle pan, or subtle camera motion.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Choose duration

Choose the duration and generate the video.

Once generated, your B-roll video will appear in your **Library** as an MP4 in the chosen aspect ratio. From there, you can **edit, delete, download, or post** them to your connected social media accounts.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Edit your video

After generating a video, you can open it in the editor to make quick adjustments before exporting. Click on the video in the **Library** and then **Open in Editor**.&#x20;

In the editor, you can:

* **Add captions** to your video
* **Add music** or sound
* **Add media** such as extra images or videos
* **Add overlays** on top of your video
* **Add text and subtitles**
* **Cut** parts of the video on the timeline

Once your edits are done, click **Export** to save the final version.
