FAQ
What is trend research in Selects?
You ask Selects what's working in your niche, and it browses what's trending on YouTube and TikTok, takes the top performer as the model and cuts your version from your footage.
How do I research trends for my next video?
- Drop your footage into Selects.
- Ask, like find what's trending in holiday baking videos and cut my version.
- Review the cut on the timeline and change anything you want.
Does it copy the video it finds?
No. It takes how the top video is made as the model, not its footage. What ends up on screen is what you filmed.
Can I change the edit after it's cut?
Yes. Your version is a regular draft on a real timeline. Change any cut, caption or graphic by hand, or keep giving notes in chat.
Does trend research cost anything?
Selects analyzes your footage so it can cut from it, and analysis runs on credits. Chat uses credits too, unless you connect your own paid Claude or ChatGPT plan.
