5+ camera multicam sync
Most tools cap at two or three angles. Selects syncs five, seven, or more cameras in a single step, with automatic audio-source matching per speaker.
Five speakers,
seven cameras.
One structured edit.
Talk shows and panel discussions generate hours of overlapping footage.
Selects syncs and builds your multicam edit automatically.

More speakers. More cameras.
More of your week gone.
A two-person podcast is manageable. A five-person panel discussion is a different animal entirely.
Seven camera angles. Five lavalier mics plus a room mic. Three hours of cross-talk, interruptions, and overlapping arguments. Every speaker needs their own close-up when they talk, but they also react when someone else talks, and those reactions matter too.
The footage is great. The edit is a logistics nightmare. Syncing alone takes an hour. Figuring out which camera should be active at any given second takes the rest of the day. And you do this every week.
From raw footage to structured edit
Drop folder with raw media
Auto sync & edit in minutes
Handoff to existing workflow
Built for the complexity
other tools can't handle.
Speaker-aware camera switching
Selects doesn't just cut to whoever is loudest. It follows the conversation: close-up on the active speaker, reaction shots during responses, wide shots during group moments. The switching logic matches how a live director would call it.
Per-speaker audio optimization
Each speaker gets their best mic source selected automatically. No more manually soloing tracks to figure out which lav was on which guest.
Topic-based chapter segmentation
A three-hour panel discussion has fifteen different topics. Selects identifies each one and labels them as chapters. Rearrange the topic order, cut entire segments, or isolate a single discussion thread.
Handoff to
start the creative edit
Seamless with your NLE
Handoff to Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve. Project files are structured to fit your workflow.
You're in control
Edits are non-destructive, and organized for clarity. Categorized bins, color-coded topics, markers and transcripts included.
Ready to share
Share transcript for paper cuts. Or export video if the Selects rough cut is ready to go.
Same panel. Different week.

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.
