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.

Ask chat to sort it. Something like "sort my footage into a main folder and a B-roll folder" is enough, 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. Click the + button at the top of the [Project] panel and choose [Folder], or right-click empty space in the panel and choose [Create folder]. Then drag files into them.

To find a specific shot without scrubbing, use search in the top bar. It has two modes, and both help with B-roll.

In the scope menu at the top of search, choose [Source] > [All files] to search every analyzed file in the project, or pick a single file from the same list to search only that one. You can also click the search button (the magnifier) at the top of the [Project] panel to open search already set to the whole project.

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. Topics appear once the file has been analyzed.

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. Once your footage is analyzed, 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 the + button at the top of the [Project] panel, then [Media]. 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]. Drag the slider or type a value, then click [Apply]. Values are in percent (%) by default. To work in decibels, click [dB] in the toggle at the top of the dialog. Selects remembers the unit you last used. 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 change the level of a single clip on a draft, select it on the timeline and press [G] on the Premiere and DaVinci Resolve shortcut presets, or right-click it and choose [Audio gain/volume]. The [Adjust] tab opens at its audio settings.

To decide when each speaker's microphone is open, open the [Apps] tab, next to [Project], 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, the [Auto add] button, and the [Organize files] menu item 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 analyzed footage, and nothing is analyzed until you ask, so a file you just added has not been analyzed yet. Click [Analyze N clips] at the bottom of the [Project] panel, check or uncheck files in the popup so only the ones you want are included, check the credit estimate, 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 the + button at the top of the [Project] panel, and analyze 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. Do the ducking in Premiere, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve after handoff. Levels set in Selects do not carry over, so set your music level there too.
