The correct terms are **A-Roll & B-Roll**. - **A-Roll** refers to the main footage, usually interviews or principal material. - **B-Roll** refers to supplemental footage used to add context or visual interest. The other options are not commonly used to distinguish two different rolls of footage: - **Cuts & transitions** are editing terms, not footage types. - **Linear & non-linear** refer to editing methods. - **Primary & Secondary Roll** is not a standard term.
