Pricing for Selects

A credit is the unit Selects measures usage in. Your plan gives you one balance of credits each month, and analysis, chat on Selects models and AI generation all draw on it.

Video analysis uses 1 credit per 10 seconds of footage, or 360 credits an hour. A separate audio file, like a lav mic recording, uses 1 credit a minute. Every camera file counts, so a one-hour shoot on two cameras is 720 credits.

Generating video, images and voiceover uses credits too, and each tool shows the cost before you generate.

Because it's one balance, each plan's figures assume every credit goes to one thing. Starter's 3,600 credits analyze up to 10 hours of footage, and fewer hours once some of them go to chat or AI generation.

On Selects models, yes. There is no fixed rate per message: a conversation uses more the longer it runs and the more footage it reads.

Connect your own paid Claude or ChatGPT plan and chat runs on that plan, with no Selects credits used. Analyzing your footage always uses Selects credits.

No. Credits reset at the start of each billing cycle, and any you haven't used don't carry over.

Yes. The Free plan is a full video editor with no time limit, and no credit card required.

New users also get free trial credits to try analysis and the AI features built on it.

Yes, on any paid plan, at any time and without changing your plan. Top-ups are $0.0167 per credit on Starter, Pro and Pro Max, and $0.0222 per credit on Team.

No. Timeline editing, effects and export don't use credits, and neither does chat on your own Claude or ChatGPT plan, so all of that keeps working.

What does use credits pauses: new analysis, chat on Selects models, and generating video, images or voiceover. Top up or wait for your next billing cycle, or on the Free plan, pick a paid plan.

It assembles the raw footage for you in 1 click.

Use Selects after shooting the video, and before you start your NLE. Get your raw footage prepped with the grunt work already complete, hand off to Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Avid Media Composer to continue on the creative work.

Yes, Selects has an editing environment with timeline shortcuts that mirror Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve.

It also includes text-based editing, natural language visual search.

But most professional editors use Selects for the prep and assembly, then hand off a structured project file to Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Avid Media Composer for the final creative cut. It fits into your existing workflow rather than replacing it.

Most AI video editing tools work inside their own environment and produce a finished video you can't easily take further.

Selects is built for professional post-production workflows to handle the part before the edit: syncing multicam, organizing footage into topics, selecting the best audio, and removing dead air. The output is a structured project file that drops straight into your NLE. Editors stay in Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Avid Media Composer. Nothing changes on their end except they're starting from a clean, organized stringout instead of hours of raw footage.
