Selects Podcast editing with AI

The conversation took two hours.
The edit takes six.

Every podcast episode starts the same way. You sit down, press record across multiple cameras and mics, and have a genuine conversation for an hour or two.

Then the editing starts. Sync the cameras. Match the audio. Scrub through the entire recording to find the moments that matter. Cut the dead air. Pick the right angle for every line. Do it all again next week.

The conversation took two hours. The edit takes six. And most of that time isn't creative. It's sorting.

Multicam sync across every camera and mic

Three cameras, a boom, and two lavs? Selects syncs all of them in one step and picks the cleanest audio source per speaker automatically.

Speaker-aware camera switching

Selects knows who's talking and switches to the right camera angle. Not random cuts. Cuts that follow the conversation.

Silence and filler word removal

Um," "uh," long pauses, and dead air. Gone. Automatically. Or keep them if your podcast style calls for a looser feel.

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.
