In Selects, B-roll and audio are not kept in a separate library. They are ordinary files in your project panel, sitting alongside your main footage. That means you get at them the same four ways you get at anything else: sort them into folders, search for the shot you want, drag it in, or ask chat to place it for you.

Sorting your footage first is what makes everything after this quick. A pile of forty clips with camera-generated filenames is hard to work with, whether you are the one scrolling or chat is the one searching.

Open the [More actions] menu in the project panel header and click [Organize files]. Selects adds an organize request to chat, you review it and send, and chat proposes a layout before it moves anything. The default split is main footage in one folder and B-roll in another, but you can ask for whatever structure you use, including a folder per shoot day or a layout copied from a screenshot of your usual bin setup.

You can also build folders yourself with [Create folder] in the same menu, then drag files into them.

To find a specific shot without scrubbing, use search in the top bar. Two of its modes matter for B-roll.

Set the scope to [All files] to search everything in the project, or to a single file to search only that one. You can also reach the same search preset to the whole project from [Search sources] in the project panel's [More actions] menu.

To place a clip by hand, drag it out of the project panel and drop it on the timeline. Drop it on a lane above your main track and it plays over the top, leaving the dialogue underneath untouched.

For a long clip you rarely want the whole thing, so work from its topics instead.

Asking chat is the faster route when you want several cutaways at once, or when you can describe the shot better than you can find it. Selects has already watched and transcribed your footage, so chat searches what is actually in the frame rather than guessing from filenames.

Describe the beats you want, in order, and be specific about the picture:

Chat proposes what it found before it commits, so you can send it back for a different shot rather than undoing a draft.

Audio files behave the same way: import them, and they appear in the project panel with everything else. Add music or effects to an existing project with [Add media] in the [More actions] menu, then drag a track onto an audio lane on the timeline.

To set a file's level, right-click it in the project panel and choose [Audio gain/volume]. Enter a value in dB, or switch the unit to [Percent] if you think in percentages, then click [Apply]. The gain applies everywhere that file is used, including inside a synced timeline.

Select several files first and the dialog sets them together. If they currently sit at different levels it shows [Mixed] until you type a value.

To decide when each speaker's microphone is open, switch the left panel from [Assistant] to [Tools] and click [Speaker audio settings]. There are two choices.

Click [Apply] to write the change to the open draft. Applying overwrites any per-clip audio changes you made earlier, so do this before hand-tuning individual clips.

The B-roll tab, the Audio tab, and the [Auto add] button are no longer in Selects. B-roll and audio now live in the project panel with the rest of your files, and automatic placement is a chat request instead of a button, which lets you say what you actually want covered rather than accepting a blanket pass.

Chat searches analysed footage, and analysis runs when a project is set up, so a file added later has not been analysed yet. Switch the project panel to list view, hover the new file, and click [Analyze]. Once it finishes, scene search and chat can both find it.

No. Selects searches your own footage only, so there is no stock library built in. Download what you need, add it with [Add media], and analyse it so it becomes searchable like the rest of your project.

Select the cutaway on the timeline and delete it, then drag the replacement onto the same spot. You can also ask chat, for example "replace the cutaway at 2:30 with a different angle of the same shot".

Not yet. Selects sets a fixed level per file and per clip, so it cannot ride the music down while someone is speaking. Set a rough level in Selects, then do the ducking in Premiere, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve after handoff.
