Description
Selects by Cutback is an AI-driven tool designed to simplify and automate video post-production for both individual creators and larger studios. The tool places a significant emphasis on automating the initial preparation stages, which reduces the amount of time dedicated to early-stage tasks like sorting, organizing, and reviewing the original raw footage.
Key features include the ability to upload raw videos and have them ready for more advanced editing within just a few minutes, saving significant time for actual creative work. The tool is also capable of differentiating between tasks to suit various types of projects, from podcasts and live streams to documentaries, events, and vlogs.
It comes with advanced features that enable the syncing of multi-camera files, and it supports both 4K and 360 videos, to offer a comprehensive solution for intricate editing tasks.
One of its distinguishing features is 'smart stringout with chapters', through which footage is automatically organized into chapters based on topics, to improve and simplify the review process.
It features a natural language search function for quickly locating specific moments, and makes it possible to seamlessly transfer projects to common editing tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut, and DaVinci Resolve.
The tool is also created with a focus on storytelling, making it easy to transform prepped footage into story-focused rough cuts. Emphasis is also given to clarity, delivering organized, color-coded chapters, markers, labels, and transcripts to facilitate efficient project management.
For added convenience and easier collaboration, users are given the ability to easily share transcripts or export videos. Selects by Cutback has been tested and is trusted by well-known studios, and it seeks to bring efficiency and creativity to video editing tasks.

Releases
Selects now includes Storyline generation, which lets you create a new rough cut by describing the edit you want instead of manually assembling clips. You can set the target length, audience, key message, and moments to include, and Selects automatically generates a structured draft based on those instructions.
This makes it easier to experiment with different edits, create alternate versions of long-form content, and shape interviews or podcasts before opening a traditional NLE. Once the draft is ready, you can hand it off to Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve with organized tracks, chapters, captions, and full access to unused clips.
