Does OneTake Automatically Add B-Roll or Stock Visuals?

OneTake does not automatically add B-roll footage such as stock photos, stock videos, or illustrations to your videos.

All visual content in a OneTake project comes from the media you upload. The platform does not source, fetch, or insert external visual assets on your behalf.

How OneTake Handles Video Content

When you upload a video into OneTake, the system works with that file only. The AI focuses on editing, structuring, and enhancing your existing footage to improve clarity, pacing, and presentation.

OneTake can:

Edit and structure the main video you upload
Improve cuts, pacing, and flow
Generate captions and subtitles
Apply visual layouts and styles
Adjust framing and presentation based on the selected video style
Apply branding and design elements where available

All of these enhancements are applied to the original uploaded footage

What OneTake Does Not Do

OneTake does not introduce new visual media into your project.

This means OneTake does not:

Add stock photos
Add stock video clips
Add illustrations or graphics automatically
Pull visuals from third-party libraries
Decide which B-roll to include

There is no stock media library inside OneTake and no feature that inserts external visuals into a video.

Using B-Roll With OneTake

If you want B-roll included in your final video, it needs to be handled outside of OneTake.

You can do this in one of the following ways:

Combine your main footage and B-roll clips into a single video file before uploading it to OneTake
Add B-roll after exporting your video from OneTake using another editing tool

Once uploaded, OneTake will edit the video as a single piece of content and apply its AI-driven enhancements to everything already present in the file.

What OneTake AI Actually Decides

OneTake’s AI makes decisions related to editing and presentation only. These decisions include:

Where cuts and trims are applied
How captions are timed and displayed
How layouts and video styles are applied
How the video is structured visually

The AI does not add new images, videos, or illustrations that were not uploaded by the user.

Why OneTake Does Not Add Stock Visuals

Automatically inserting stock visuals would require third-party licensing, usage disclosures, and asset attribution. OneTake does not license or distribute third-party visual assets, which is why all visuals must come directly from the user.

This approach ensures:

Full ownership of your content
No licensing or attribution restrictions
Complete control over what appears in your videos

What to Expect When Uploading a Video

When you upload a video to OneTake, the system will enhance and edit the footage you provide. Any additional visuals must already be included in that file or added separately using another tool.

If you have questions about preparing your footage or choosing the best workflow for your use case, the OneTake support team can guide you through the available options based on how the product works today.
