What is Selects?

Understand how Selects speeds up your prep workflow, and how it helps you focus on creative process.

Updated over a month ago

Selects is an desktop app for automating long-form video editing with AI, built to prep video before you open your NLE (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve).

Selects automates the repetitive parts of editing: analyzing, syncing, splitting, and labeling, so you can jump straight into creative editing work of storytelling.

Selects analyzes your raw footage, splits it into topic-based clips, creates draft edits according to prompt (e.g. assembly cuts by removing unnecessary parts and silences, and creates rough cuts according to edit instructions).


Why use Selects?

Selects helps video editors/creators:

  • Speed up editing by automating the prep, cutting down days to an hour.

  • Organize and sync footage automatically

  • Labels all footage by topic and transcript, switch to speaker cam & audio

  • Create rough cuts according to edit instructions (prompts)

Key benefits of using Selects

  • Automate prep. Let Selects handle footage sync, switch cam to speaker, topic detection, silence removal, create assembly cuts while you focus on storytelling.

  • Save hours on every project. Turn a full day of organizing into minutes. Start from a clean, labeled timeline ready for edit, not a folder of unorganized raw footage.

  • Keep your workflow flexible. Export directly to your preferred NLE with markers, color coding, and nested sequences.

What sets Selects apart?

Selects was designed with professional editors and studios that create authentic long-form video content. While generating videos with AI is on the rise, Selects uses advanced AI to tackle the repetitive, time-consuming parts of editing, freeing creators from the daily grind.

Selects is built to assist, not override. It gives you full control over what gets selected, labeled, and passed directly into your preferred editing environment.

  • AI that understands video context – Splits footage into meaningful, topic-based clips that an assistant editor would spend time on.

  • Professional-grade multi-cam – Nested multi-cam timelines and audio sync with precision.

  • Transcription specialized for videos – Enables precise chapter labeling, dialogue search, and perfect audio/video syncing.

  • Fits your workflow – After the shoot, let Selects handle the prep, and handoff to continue working in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro.

Who uses Selects?

Selects is built for editors, creators, and post-production teams with hours and hours of raw footage who want to spend less time organizing and more time editing.

It’s especially useful for:

  • Content creators who produce long-form or interview-style videos

  • Post-production teams managing multiple editors or projects

  • Agencies and production houses who need faster review and prep workflows

  • Educational and corporate video teams repurposing long recordings into short clips
