Can ChatGPT find or generate B-roll and add it to my timeline?
Last updated October 6, 2026
Yes. When connected to media libraries, generation tools and an editor, ChatGPT can find or generate supporting visuals and place them on your timeline.
The source depends on what the video needs. Your own recordings are useful when you need to show the actual product, person or process accurately. Stock footage can illustrate a broader setting or idea, while generation can create a visual you do not have.
Describe what the B-roll should show and where it belongs. For a product walkthrough, you could ask for close-ups of the controls while the speaker explains them, keeping the original dialogue underneath.
invideo Editor brings these options into the same MCP workflow. ChatGPT can search, source or generate the supporting material and add it to your editable timeline without leaving the editor.
