B-roll Coverage Ratio Calculator

B-roll Coverage Ratio Calculator helps with creator post-production and editing. Use Usable B-roll minutes, Narrated segment minutes to estimate % rather than relying on a fixed rule of thumb. This calculator uses the relationship broll/voice*100. Coverage over 100% means extra footage, not guaranteed usable edits. It runs locally in your browser, so the values can be changed to explore a different scenario without transmitting the entered numbers to an external calculation service.

How to use this calculator

  1. Check the measurements for Usable B-roll minutes, Narrated segment minutes. Each field displays its input unit; do not mix cm, m, seconds or minutes.
  2. Enter the quantities for your own creator post-production and editing scenario. Use ungrouped numeric values, with a period for decimals.
  3. Read the result in % and compare the underlying formula with your real situation. Coverage over 100% means extra footage, not guaranteed usable edits.

How the B-roll Coverage Ratio Calculator works

Result in % = broll/voice*100. Inputs are expressed in the units shown in their labels.

  • The output uses the current values of Usable B-roll minutes, Narrated segment minutes, with no live service data, manufacturer information or personal information. This is a model, not a real-time measurement.
  • The tool rejects blank, nonnumeric and out-of-range inputs instead of displaying a misleading result. Coverage over 100% means extra footage, not guaranteed usable edits. Review quantities, precision and units before using the result for a purchase, plan or technical choice.
