# 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.

### **Best for:**

* Creating seamless transitions between visuals
* Bringing static images to life with motion
* Short, high-quality clips for ads and social media
* Showcasing product details or multiple angles
* Cinematic sequences without full video production

### How to Create a B-roll Video <a href="#h_e5a3ce58ed" id="h_e5a3ce58ed"></a>

{% 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.

{% hint style="info" %}
B-roll videos are generated without sound.
