Can an AI video editor combine my footage with generated B-roll in one editable project?

Yes. An AI video editor can combine uploaded footage with generated B-roll on the same editable timeline. This is useful when the main footage is complete but the edit needs an establishing shot, transition, illustration, product visual, or another piece of coverage that was not recorded.

Before generating anything, tell the agent which source to use:

• search the footage already uploaded;

• find licensed stock media; or

• generate a new shot.

These options are not interchangeable. Uploaded footage preserves the original production. Stock media introduces licensing and visual-continuity questions. Generated footage requires checks for artefacts, accuracy, consistency, and disclosure.

A clear instruction might be: “Keep the interview as the spine. Use my product close-ups wherever they exist. Generate one abstract visual for the concept we did not film, but do not generate a replacement for the speaker or imply that a real event was recorded.”

In invideo Editor, uploaded and generated media can sit together as normal clips on the multitrack timeline. The invideo agent for editing can place the new visual in context, and you can trim it, move it, replace it, colour-match it, or remove it manually.

Before publishing, inspect generated people, products, text, locations, and events carefully. The final editor remains responsible for whether the inserted footage is accurate, appropriately licensed, and clearly disclosed where necessary.
