Avoid jump cuts
Seamless transitions that never break the viewer’s eye, even while keeping the video tight.
Raw footage in.Real edit out.
Selects syncs, sorts and cuts your rushes into a real first edit,
then hands it over as a project file you can finish with.
Works with
Not another AI tool.An assistant editor.
Selects watches, listens and understands your footage, then edits it the way you’d ask a talented assistant to. You direct it in plain language.
Describe the cut.
Watch it build.
Chat
Ask in plain language. Selects syncs, drafts the structure, paces the switching, and plugs into your own tools. Ask for a three-minute highlight that favors the active speaker and Selects assembles the first cut, then keeps taking direction.
Sync
Every video and audio source organized and aligned by waveform or timecode. Even when someone forgot the clapboard.
Ideation & draft creation
Turn a rough intent into a structured first cut with beats and story order.
Captions, graphics & transitions
Describe the look and Selects lays it across the whole cut. Then it builds the panel to tune what it made, so the next change is a nudge, not another prompt.
Export
Lands in your editor, fully intact. Selects hands off a clean, non-destructive project file. Bins, sequences, sync and cuts preserved, so you keep editing where you already work.

How long does it take to process my footage?
A 2-hour multicam shoot typically processes in 20 minutes.
Processing time depends on file size and number of cameras.
Can I edit videos directly in Selects?
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, or DaVinci Resolve for the final creative cut. It fits into your existing workflow rather than replacing it.
How is Selects different from other AI editing tools?
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, or DaVinci Resolve. Nothing changes on their end except they're starting from a clean, organized stringout instead of hours of raw footage.
Can I use Selects for short-form content, not just long-form?
Absolutely.
Selects works for any format where you're dealing with more raw footage than you need, whether that's a 90-second TikTok episode cut from a 2-hour shoot, or a 10-minute YouTube video from a full day of filming.
You can chat about your preferred clip length and pacing, and get a highlight-ready stringout in minutes. The shorter your final output relative to your raw footage, the more time Selects saves you.
