Eleven Percent has introduced a new Premiere Pro plugin called B-Roll Selectr, designed to automate one of the more repetitive parts of editing. Rather than stabilizing footage, it analyzes B-roll for camera shake and separates steadier portions from shakier ones, generating two sequences inside Premiere Pro. Let’s take a closer look. For editors who regularly work with run-and-gun material, a surprising amount of time can be spent simply scrubbing through clips to determine which sections are usable. B-Roll Selectr focuses on that sorting stage. The result is a pre-sorted timeline that separates the steadier moments from the shakier ones, while keeping all footage available in the project so nothing is lost. What it does and how it works inside Premiere Pro B-Roll Selectr automatically evaluates motion in your clips and separates steadier segments from footage it flags as unstable. It relies on AI motion detection to make that call, so the definition of “shaky” depends both on how the footage was shot and on the shake sensitivity setting inside the plugin. The output is organized into two sequences, with stable segments ready for editing and everything else preserved separately rather than deleted. Adjust shake filters.

Editors import their B-roll into the plugin interface, set how aggressively motion should be filtered, and optionally adjust padding to keep a little extra lead-in or tail-out around selected moments. When the analysis finishes, the two sequences...
