Stop B-Roll Search.
Start Scouting.
Paste your script in any language. Get 30–50 timestamped B-roll clips from YouTube — find the timestamp, clip it, download it, all in one click. What used to take hours of searching, scrubbing, and bookmarking now happens automatically. Built for creators who take visuals seriously.
If you make documentaries or explainers, you know this pain.
Hours Lost to B-Roll Hunting
You spend 3–5 hours per video searching YouTube, scrubbing timelines, bookmarking clips. For a 30-minute documentary with 25–40 cutaways, that’s an entire workday — gone.
Editor Gets the Wrong Clips
You write "show the banking crisis" in your script notes. Your editor finds a generic stock chart. Context gets lost between script and timeline.
Good Clips Get Used Once and Forgotten
You found that perfect 8-second NASA launch clip three videos ago. Nobody remembers which source or timestamp. So you search all over again.
Hiring a Researcher Is Expensive
A research assistant who understands your content niche costs ₹15,000–30,000/month minimum — and they still take 4+ hours per video.
Stock Footage Doesn’t Fit Documentaries
Pexels and Storyblocks have generic clips. Documentary creators need specific, contextual footage — the actual Lehman Brothers collapse, not a random trading floor.
Every Other Tool Is English-Only
You write in Tamil, Hindi, Japanese, or any other language. Every B-roll tool on the market assumes English. Your script’s context gets lost in translation — or the tool simply refuses to work. B-Roll Scout is language agnostic.
Many Problems. One Solution.
What if you could paste your script in any language and get 30–50 perfectly matched, timestamped B-roll clips back — powered by AI that we install, manage, and keep improving for you? That's exactly what B-Roll Scout does.

This isn't a tool built in a Silicon Valley lab. It was forged in a real editing room.
B-Roll Scout was created by Jayasim Jayakumar, one of Tamil YouTube's leading documentary channels — Beyond the Obvious. After watching his editing team spend 4+ hours per video on B-roll research, he built the tool that eliminated the problem entirely. It's been battle-tested across 40+ documentary productions before being opened to other creators. This is the unfair advantage his team has been using — and now it's yours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Extremely. B-Roll Scout doesn’t just keyword-match — it understands the narrative context of your script. When you write about the 2008 financial crisis, it finds the actual Lehman Brothers collapse footage, not a random stock chart. Once found, you can clip and download it in one click. Our matching engine was refined across 40+ documentary productions before we opened it to others.
Yes — completely. B-Roll Scout is a language agnostic tool. Write your script in Tamil, English, Hindi, Spanish, Japanese, French, Arabic, or any other language. Mix languages in the same script if you want. The AI powering B-Roll Scout is a state-of-the-art multilingual model that understands narrative context regardless of language. We keep updating the model over time to make it even better. No translation step, no English-only limitation.
Processing time depends on your hardware, script length, and the AI model you choose. B-Roll Scout runs on your own compute via a Bring Your Own Compute (BYOC) architecture — faster hardware means faster results. With fire-and-forget processing, you don’t need to watch it work — submit the job and come back to finished results.
Yes. Each plan includes editor seats. Your editors log in with their own access, see the same workspace, and can start, resume, or hand off jobs between machines. Everyone shares the same growing B-roll library.
B-Roll Scout is a research and discovery tool — it helps you find and preview relevant footage across YouTube by identifying timestamps and context. It does not host, redistribute, or permanently store any third-party content. You are responsible for ensuring that any footage you reference, download, or use in your final video complies with applicable copyright laws, fair use provisions, Creative Commons licences, and YouTube’s Terms of Service. We strongly recommend using clips only where the original creator has granted permission, the content is under a permissive licence, or your use qualifies as fair dealing / fair use in your jurisdiction.
Stock footage tools give you generic clips from a preset library. B-Roll Scout searches across the entire YouTube ecosystem — billions of videos — to find specific, contextual footage that matches YOUR script’s narrative. It’s the difference between "a random city skyline" and "the exact aerial shot of Mumbai’s financial district during monsoon season."
Most stock footage tools pull from preset libraries. AI video tools generate synthetic clips. Search tools find videos but not timestamps. We haven’t found anything that takes a full script in any language, runs AI on your own compute, searches YouTube at scale, and returns precise timestamped clips ranked by relevance. B-Roll Scout was built to fill that gap.
B-Roll Scout runs AI locally on your machine — your scripts and data never leave your computer. We download and install the relevant AI model for you, and keep updating it over time as better models become available. This means complete privacy, no API costs, and results that keep getting better. Any modern laptop or desktop with 8GB+ RAM can run it.
We handle everything. When you set up B-Roll Scout, we download and install the best available AI model for the job. As better models are released, we push updates so your results keep improving over time — you don’t need to do anything. The AI handles script understanding, multilingual processing, visual beat identification, and context-aware YouTube search, all running locally on your machine.
After payment, email support@jayasim.com with your payment confirmation. We’ll reply with detailed setup instructions, your access credentials, and the companion app download link. We’ll also download and configure the AI model on your machine — the entire setup takes under 5 minutes, and we’re available to help if you get stuck.
Absolutely. Try B-Roll Scout risk-free. If the tool doesn’t deliver — email us at support@jayasim.com within 24 hours of setup and we’ll refund your payment in full. No questions asked.
Every hour you spend hunting for B-roll is an hour you're not creating.
The best documentary creators don't search for footage — they have a system that does it for them. B-Roll Scout is that system.
