B-roll Selector: Quick Select
Trims 25% off the start and end of every clip and keeps the middle 50% on a new sequence. A fixed trim with no analysis, and your original clips stay untouched.
Pull B-roll selects and reuse your clips faster
B-roll Library is one of the Free Forever tools in the AutoEdit plugin. The B-roll Selector tab trims a pile of clips into a new sequence of selects, and the My B-roll Library tab keeps the overlays and cutaways you use on almost every edit ready to apply in Premiere Pro.
Feature call-out
Still searching Finder for that same overlay?
You know the clip. You used it in the last three edits. Now you’re 30 minutes deep in folders, Finder stops responding, and the client is waiting for V1. Keep your go-to clips within reach, and let the B-roll Selector do the first trim on new footage.
B-roll Selector: Shake Detection
Checks each clip for camera shake on your computer and keeps the steady parts on a new sequence. It does not stabilize footage. Available on Apple silicon Macs and Windows.
My B-roll Library
Save the overlays, cutaways, and B-roll you reach for on repeat, add a note on when to use each one, and click Add to timeline.
Inside Premiere Pro
Build your library once. Reuse it on the next edit.

Two tabs, one tile
B-roll Selector
Turn new footage into a sequence of selects.
Quick Select keeps the middle half of every clip. Shake Detection keeps the steady parts it finds on your computer and leaves the shaky stretches out. Both build a new sequence and never change your original clips.
How the free B-roll Selector worksMy B-roll Library
Keep the clips you reuse one click away.
Save overlays, cutaways, and B-roll you use on almost every edit, add a note on when to use each one, and click Add to timeline. Music and sound effects now have their own tiles: Music Library and Sound Effects.
Coming soon to B-roll Library
Coming soon
Find your most-used clips from past projects.
The planned project import will let you add 5–10 past Premiere Pro project files and identify the B-roll clips you use most often, so you spend less time adding them manually.
Coming later
Let Claude help place your B-roll.
A later Claude Creator Mode update is planned to analyze your B-roll’s visual context and add metadata, so Claude can choose and apply relevant saved clips to your timeline. This is not available yet.

Got Questions
Where do I find B-roll Library?
In Premiere Pro, go to Window > Extensions > AutoEdit Creator Mode, open Free Forever Tools, and choose B-roll Library. It opens on the B-roll Selector tab; switch to My B-roll Library for your saved clips.
Where did music and sound effects go?
They have their own Free Forever tools now. Sound Effects and Music Library sit next to B-roll Library in the plugin, so B-roll Library holds your video clips and overlays only.
Is B-roll Library free?
Yes. B-roll Library, including the B-roll Selector and My B-roll Library, is one of the Free Forever tools. You only need a free AutoEdit account, and your clips are never uploaded.
Does it automatically find clips from my old projects?
Not yet. Importing past Premiere Pro projects to find frequently used clips is coming soon. For now, add the clips you want to reuse in My B-roll Library.
