Stock footage is commonly used in “Meeting Opener” videos, famous “quotes” based videos, music videos and information-based video productions. B-Roll is a term that has survived the old days of 16mm film production. B-roll, b roll or broll, as it's called, is commonly used as cutaway footage in corporate and TV commercial video productions. In the case of talking heads, b-roll is commonly used to make the production more interesting. In other words, when the talent or "talking head" refers to a Website, for example, the editor will commonly place a screen shot of the Website the talent is referring to, in the video at the appropriate point. B-roll is also used to hide both video and audio edits. In corporate video production for example, the "talent" is often an individual who has great difficulty expressing herself/himself while standing in front of a camera. This always makes more work for the video editor, especially when the talent leans heavily on long pauses, "ums" , "uhs" and "awe". Occasionally, these can be edited out successfully without cutting to b-roll because the talent didn't move much at all and an appropriate "lip position" is available. With the use of b-roll, the talent is covered completely enabling a complete re-working of his/her audio track. The practice of covering talent completely with b-roll in areas of corporate video production isn't always the best option, but can be a lifesaver in some cases.

For an improved editing experience and performance using Premiere CS5, it's recommended that all AVCHD media be transcoded first using Cineform Neoscene. Neoscene will batch transcode your files quickly. The output *.avi files From Neoscene, reduce a good amount of stress on your CPU and/or GPU compared with the AVCHD video file format on the same editing timeline. If you are editing your video on a PC or a Mac, I recommend either Adobe Creative Suite 5 Production Premium or the Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection.
