thumbnails of content about video editing with claude

Claude is incredible at reasoning and code. People are pointing it at video, and the results look promising in demos.

But on real footage, it breaks down. Claude only reads the transcript. It never sees the frame. So the cuts land in the wrong places, there's no way to preview or fix the result, and multicam, captions, motion graphics are all off the table.

The bottleneck isn't intelligence. It's access. Claude has no way to see or manipulate your footage.

With Selects, Claude edits. You review.

video editor timeline with best take analyzed

Selects is a video editor that has already analyzed your project before you type a word. Every angle, every track, every scene change: indexed and searchable.

The MCP (an open protocol that lets AI agents control real software) connects that analysis directly to Claude, Codex, or any compatible agent. Your agent stops guessing. It sees what's in the frame, makes cuts that land, previews them instantly, and runs multiple edits in parallel.

Unlimited workflows.
One prompt each.

Graphics based on content

A host says "Sony A7IV." Selects catches it, pulls the product image, drops in live pricing. Lower thirds, topic cards, checklists, the possibilities are endless.
