Is Selects a plugin or a standalone app?

Selects is a standalone desktop application used for the pre-editing phase. It processes raw footage before you move into your NLE (Non-Linear Editor) like Premiere or Resolve.

Does my footage get uploaded to the cloud?

No, Selects processes footage locally on your machine. Your raw files stay private and secure, which also allows for faster performance with large pro-grade files.

Which NLEs are supported for export?

Selects currently supports seamless handoffs to Adobe Premiere Pro (.prproj), DaVinci Resolve (.drp), and Apple Final Cut Pro (FCPXML).

How does the AI 'Prompt-to-Edit' work?

You provide a text description of what you want (e.g., 'Give me a 10-minute edit focusing on the tech trends discussed, remove all filler words, and use a fast pace'), and Selects builds the timeline for you.

Can it handle multicam podcasts?

Yes, it is specifically optimized for long-form multicam content like podcasts, interviews, and livestreams, handling sync and speaker-based switching automatically.

About Selects by Cutback

What the tool does and who it's for

Selects is a standalone AI-powered pre-editing application designed to automate the most tedious phases of video post-production. It ingests raw footage (including multicam and external audio), transcribes the content with high accuracy, removes silences/filler words, and organizes everything into topic-based chapters. The tool uses a prompt-driven workflow where editors can describe the desired edit—specifying duration, pacing, and narrative focus—to generate a structured rough cut. Projects are then exported as native files for Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro, complete with synced timelines, markers, and color-coded bins.

Key capabilities

AI Multicam Sync: Automatically aligns up to 10 tracks of video and external audio using spectral analysis.

Prompt-to-Edit: Generate a rough cut by describing the narrative, duration, and pacing in natural language.

Smart Stringouts: Automatically organizes raw footage into searchable, topic-based chapters and scenes.

Silence & Filler Removal: Detects and cuts dead air, 'ums', 'uhs', and mistakes with a single click.

NLE Handoff: Exports non-destructive, structured project files for Premiere Pro, Resolve, and Final Cut.

Speaker Detection: Identifies individual speakers with 97-98% accuracy for automatic camera switching.

Native Codec Support: Works locally with professional formats like ProRes, BRAW, R3D, and MXF.

Text-Based Editing: Edit video by modifying the generated transcript, similar to a text document.
