TC 00:00:00:00 — RAW FOOTAGE IN
Skip to the good takes.
SelectCut reviews every clip in your footage folder, flags the junk, and hands you an organized select edit for Premiere, Resolve, or Final Cut. You approve every call.
TC 00:00:32:00 — THE WORKFLOW
Five steps to a faster rough cut.
Import to export without the homework. The target: 25–35% off your edit time, with the boring part already done.
- 01 / IMPORT
Point it at the folder.
Drop in a project’s raw footage. No renaming, no pre-sorting, no bins required.
- 02 / BRIEF
Tell it the video.
Video type, key sections, style. Thirty seconds of context so the review knows what matters.
- 03 / AUTO-ORGANIZE
It watches everything.
Every clip analyzed: quality issues flagged, related takes grouped, best picks ranked, A-roll and B-roll tagged.
- 04 / REVIEW
You make the calls.
Fly through shots with NLE-style hotkeys and waveform scrubbing. Approve picks or override them — favorite the standouts.
- 05 / EXPORT
Open your editor. It’s organized.
A select edit lands in Premiere, Resolve, or Final Cut — clips in logical bins, audio and video linked, junk already gone.
TC 00:01:18:12 — WHAT IT CATCHES
Organized like you’d do it. Just faster.
-
Quality flags
Soft focus, clipped audio, too-short takes — surfaced with the reason attached, never silently dropped.
-
Best-take ranking
Related takes get grouped, and the strongest one is recommended — with the why spelled out.
-
A-roll / B-roll tagging
Talking heads split from cutaways automatically, so your bins make sense at a glance.
-
Multicam sync
Multi-camera shoots grouped and time-synced, with a recommended angle for every moment.
-
Favorites & tags
Star the standouts, tag anything, and find it all again at export time.
-
Review at NLE speed
J-K-L style hotkeys, waveform scrubbing, keyboard bin assignment. Built for editors’ hands.
TC 00:02:14:08 — THE DEAL
AI recommends.
You decide.
Every flag, rank, and tag is a recommendation with its reasoning attached — not a decision made behind your back. Accept it in a keystroke or override it. Nothing is hidden, nothing is irreversible, and your original files are never touched.

TC 00:03:40:00 — LOCAL-FIRST
Runs on your Mac.
Footage stays put.

BIN 02 — DOCUMENTARY
Hundreds of shots across months of shooting, organized before you lose the thread.
BIN 03 — CORPORATE
