Talking head with b-roll video b-roll prompts

Vyra describes every scene when you upload, so you can ask for a shot by what's in it. You don't need file names.

Minimal:

Add b-roll from my clips over the parts where I talk about something you can show.

Standard:

Add b-roll to my talking head with b-roll video from the clips I uploaded.
Look for these shots. The talking head. 8-15 b-roll clips of 5-10 seconds. Hands, objects, screens. One wide.
Pacing: face 4-8 seconds, b-roll 2-4 seconds, repeat.
Put each clip on the words it shows and keep my audio running underneath.

Add b-roll to my talking head with b-roll video from the clips I uploaded.
Look for these shots. The talking head. 8-15 b-roll clips of 5-10 seconds. Hands, objects, screens. One wide.
Pacing: face 4-8 seconds, b-roll 2-4 seconds, repeat.
Put each clip on the words it shows and keep my audio running underneath.
Keep captions on during b-roll.
Avoid these. B-roll that doesn't match the words. Cutting away mid-word. Face gone for more than 6 seconds.
Don't use any clip twice. When you're done, list which clip went where with timestamps.

Why these settings

• The shot list is the one from our talking head with b-roll video page. Asking for shots by what's in them is faster than digging up file names.
• "Keep my audio running" stops it from cutting your voice along with the picture.
• The pacing line (face 4-8 seconds, b-roll 2-4 seconds, repeat) sets how long b-roll stays before it cuts back.
• A list of placements with timestamps makes the result quick to check.

Fixes

• B-roll stays too long. "Come back to my face after 3 seconds of b-roll."
• Wrong shot. "At 0:22 use the close-up of my hands instead."
• Cuts away mid-word. "Only cut to b-roll at the end of a word."

FAQ

Does it use stock footage? No. It only uses the clips you upload. We don't generate footage.

Do I need every shot before I start? No. Run it with what you have. Then film the rest of the shot list (the talking head, 8-15 b-roll clips of 5-10 seconds, hands, objects, screens, one wide), upload it to the same project, and run the prompt again.
