Totally use it to mask off edits all the time. However, sometimes I don't use b-roll at all if the person whose testimony we're filming is a great communicator or if the b-roll doesn't help people connect to the emotional aspect of someone's story. Or style reasons... sometimes, b-roll can be distracting if you're wanting to do a super-clean vibe with your video or something.

The only problem is you have to plan for this. As for stock footage: We don't budget for that so I shoot my own, typical places I use it is in Title Packs and videos for music 'videos' Hmmm, I tried this with a baptism story a short while back, and tried to make it interesting.

A recent example would be a video I did for a political campaign. I cut off 4 minutes and took out several camera bumps by switching to another zoomed out view. You can see both versions at www.youtube.com/timothywesco You would never be able to spot the edit unless you watch the unedited version first.

I often use a Flip camera off to the side to give me the angle shot. 2. When appropriate for the interview or project, I shoot footage of a person's hands. It gives a great personalized b-roll. 1.
