Fast, Simple AI Video Editing That Nails Shorts from Large Files

For editing talking head videos, the text editor is very simple to use. Removing pauses, repeated phrases, restarts, etc. is very easy. The AI is very good at taking several large files and creating shorts, focusing on the best shots. I usually don't have to edit the result at all. I LOVE the fact that it works off my external hard drive where my clips live. It's SO much faster than working in the cloud like I had to do with Descript. The MCP works well with Codex. I'm still experimenting with Selects to create rough drafts of our longer travel vlog videos. This is a much more complex task than creating talking head or scripted videos. My suggestion to the team at Selects would be to post more on YouTube. It seems like they keep using the same podcast example in all their YouTube videos. If you want more people to buy Selects, show them what it's capable of in multiple video styles.

Great for Time-Saving, But Reliability Needs Improvement

I love that Selects is pretty good at transcription and understanding what my video is saying, then giving me an edit based on that. It's truly a time saver, which really helps me when I have so many tasks like podcasts, content creation, and online courses. The chat feature is great because I can just tell it what I want, like creating vertical reels, and it's awesome for that.

Revolutionized Our Editing Process with Time-Saving Features

I really like Selects for its MCP functionality, which allows me to bring my own agents into projects and provide all the necessary context. It structures the video on its own, which I think is as close as we've come to having agent workflows for video. The ability to sort through footage really quickly is incredibly useful, especially during fast-paced, compressed time horizon shoots where a same-week edit is needed. Selects saves a ton of time on the editing back end, cutting down about 80% of the a-roll editing time. I also appreciate the auto-selecting feature for finding the best clip out of all takes, which works really well. I'm really pro Selects for these functionalities.
