FAQ
Is b-roll specific to Hypit?
The idea is general to video workflows; the way it is expressed here follows how Hypit models projects, so the term maps to something you can actually edit.
Where can I see it in practice?
The quickstart walks through a full clone, and the clone-format pages show the same concept used in a real structure.
Do I need the paid API for this?
No. The agent tooling is free and open source; the managed API is optional.
