Finding the right B-roll: filters, free clips, and downloads
Finding the right B-roll: filters, free clips, and downloads
With 5,000+ clips in the library, finding the right reaction fast is the whole game. This article covers the filters, the free starter clips, and how downloads work.
Filtering the library

You can narrow the library down to exactly the reaction you need using any combination of these filters:
Format — the style/structure of the clip.
Niche — the vertical or category the clip fits.
Creator — clips from a specific creator.
Media type — video or image.
Emotion — the reaction's emotional tone.
Gender
Location
Age range
Hair color
Virality score — how well the clip/format has performed, so you can prioritize proven winners.
Combine filters to zero in — for example, video + "excited" emotion + high virality score to find your next hook, or filter by creator to keep a consistent face across a campaign.
Free clips to get started
We include 30+ free B-roll clips so you can try the marketplace and get your first videos out the door. Use the "Free only" toggle to show just these clips.
Note: The free clips cost nothing, but you need an active subscription to download them. A subscription unlocks downloading across the library — including the free starter clips.
Downloading clips
Purchased clips come with a full commercial license and are available for instant download right after purchase.
Browsing and filtering the library is open — create a free account to browse the full library, use the advanced filters, and purchase clips.
Downloads live in your dashboard library, where you manage the clips you've unlocked.
Quick FAQ
Do I need a subscription to buy a single clip? No — you can purchase clips individually. A subscription is what unlocks downloading the free starter clips (and streamlines access across the library).
Can I use these clips in paid ads? Yes. Purchased clips include a full commercial license for your marketing.
What's the difference between "free" and "purchased" clips? Free clips are $0 but require an active subscription to download. Purchased clips are bought individually and download instantly with a commercial license.
What is the virality score? It's a signal of how well a clip or its format has performed, so you can prioritize proven, high-performing reactions.
