When your edit is ready to move into production color grading, sound design, or final delivery, Selects connects natively to your NLE. Your edit structure transfers so you continue where Selects left off.
Click the Handoff dropdown in the top bar. Three native project export options appear.
Native project exports
Premiere Pro: Exports a .prproj file. Open it directly in Premiere Pro with all clips, tracks, cuts, and markers intact as a native sequence. No XML parsing or manual reconstruction.
When exporting to Premiere Pro, you can customize the following options:
Timeline structure: Choose between nested (collapsed) or unnested (camera tracks stacked and visible in the timeline).
Chapters and captions: Include or exclude chapter markers and captions in your export.
Premiere Pro version: Select the file version to match your Premiere Pro installation.
Final Cut Pro: Exports an FCPXML file. Import it into Final Cut Pro with your edit structure preserved.
To import your Selects project into FCP:
Open Final Cut Pro
Go to File > Import > XML
Select the XML file just created
DaVinci Resolve: Exports an XML file. Import it into DaVinci Resolve with your timeline intact.
To import your Selects project into DaVinci Resolve:
Unzip file
Open DaVinci Resolve
Go to File > Import > Timeline
Select the XML file just created
If you see a "Clip cannot be found" error, go to DaVinci Resolve > Preferences and add the folder or drive containing your footage as a media storage location, then try importing again.
Additional export options
Export Transcript: You can export your transcript as a text file or a caption SRT file. Choose between exporting only the selected clips with your edits applied, or the unedited full transcript. You can also include timecode, chapter titles, and speaker names using the checkboxes below.
Export Video: Render and export the edited video directly from Selects.
Export Project: Save the full Selects project for backup or sharing with another Selects user.
What transfers to your NLE
Clip references point to your original local files, so your NLE finds media exactly where it lives. Edit points, track layout, markers, and speaker labels all transfer. Your original files are never modified. After export, open the project file in your NLE and continue with color grading, sound design, effects, and final delivery.
