get_available_broll surfaces the B-roll clips you can already use — free clips plus anything you've purchased — while search_broll searches the full marketplace of stock UGC clips (reaction footage, talking heads, specific scenarios) if you need something beyond what's already free.
Once you've picked clips, weave them into your edit with compose_video_with_overlay (mixing B-roll segments in among your main footage) or edit_video for a full assembly.

Get B-Roll clips the user can use in their content — includes free clips (always available) and any purchased clips. Use when user wants to add reaction hooks, UGC-style overlays, or B-Roll footage to their videos/content. Only returns clips the user owns (free or purchased). Does NOT search the full B-Roll marketplace.
What to tell the agent
Versely's agent maps this plain-English request directly onto get_available_broll. You don't need to know the parameter names — just describe what you want.
“Show me B-roll clips I can use for a reaction hook, then insert one at the start of this video.”
How it works
1. Check what you already have access to
get_available_broll returns free clips (always available) plus anything you've purchased — filterable by emotion and gender.
2. Search the marketplace for more
If nothing available fits, search_broll searches the full B-Roll marketplace by query, emotion and gender for clips you can purchase.
3. Insert the clip into your timeline
Use compose_video_with_overlay to slot the B-roll into your sequence alongside your main footage, or describe the whole assembly to edit_video.
4. Render
Get back the combined video with B-roll woven in.
What it costs
Free B-roll clips cost nothing beyond the standard compose/edit operation to insert them. Premium marketplace clips found via search_broll may carry their own price — purchase through the app marketplace to unlock a full, unwatermarked version.
The formula behind that number: What does editing a video cost if I keep changing it? — charges per finished export, so iteration is free and the count is the whole bill.
Limits & things to know
- get_available_broll only returns clips you already own (free or purchased) — it does not search the full marketplace.
- Premium marketplace clips found via search_broll may only preview watermarked until purchased.
- This surfaces and inserts existing stock clips — for footage generated specifically to match your own script, that's a different job (Versely's broader AI video generation tools, not this B-roll marketplace).
Who uses this
- Adding reaction hooks and UGC-style B-roll to an edit
- Filling gaps in a narration-led video with relevant cutaways
