Manual video editing can't sync your five-camera podcast setup automatically. Standard editing workflows won't automatically switch between speakers based on who's talking. That's manual work — video editors spend hours clicking through timeline footage.
Selects handles the grunt work that kills productivity in professional video editing. Upload gigabytes of multi-cam files. It syncs everything automatically. Then creates smart chapters based on topics discussed. The natural language search lets you type "when they talked about revenue" and jump straight to those moments.
Podcast producers managing interview content see the biggest time savings here. Take a two-hour five-camera shoot that normally requires six and a half hours of prep work. Selects cuts that down to twenty minutes.
The AI removes silences and filler words with Cutback's accuracy, then builds rough cuts with actual story structure. The handoff to your main editing software works smoothly. Selects exports structured project files directly to Premiere Pro. Final Cut. DaVinci Resolve. You get organized footage instead of a mess of raw files.
There's one limitation though. Edits stay non-destructive in Selects, which limits some control options. Professional editors working with documentaries and long-form interview content won't mind this trade-off for cutting prep time by over 60%. Channels with millions of subscribers already use it for good reason.
The seven-day trial shows whether your workflow fits. Most multi-cam editors find nothing else actually works at this level.
