It turns hours of raw multi-cam footage into a structured first draft, using a workflow that moves from preparation to draft edit to final handoff.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&ldquo;Editing doesn&rsquo;t start in the timeline anymore. The first draft shouldn&rsquo;t be manual,&rdquo; said Tom Kim, CEO and Founder of Cutback. &ldquo;Selects handles the assembly so editors can focus on shaping the story, not building it from scratch.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>From Footage to First Draft, Before Your NLE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Prep Hours of Footage in Minutes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Selects automatically syncs multi-cam footage, aligns camera angles, and organizes clips into a structured project. It identifies key moments across hours of media, groups retakes together, and surfaces relevant B-roll from the editor&rsquo;s own footage, ready to use.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Instead of manually syncing, switching, and scrubbing through timelines, editors start with footage that is already structured, searchable, and ready for editing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Describe the Edit. Get the First Draft.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Editors define exactly how the edit should work through a single prompt, including duration, structure, pacing, emphasis, silence removal, and camera switching logic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Selects applies these instructions across the entire project, generating a structured multi-cam first draft that reflects the editor&rsquo;s intent, not just audio levels or simple rules.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">For editors who prefer a starting point, the Suggest feature analyzes the footage and generates a prompt automatically, which can be refined and reused across projects.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Finish in Your NLE of Choice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Once the first draft is generated, projects can be moved seamlessly into industry-standard editing tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The workflow is fully non-destructive, preserving the original footage and allowing editors to refine every decision without losing control.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>See It Live at NAB Show 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Cutback will run live demonstrations of Selects throughout NAB Show at Booth N961 in the North Hall. Attendees can bring their own footage and watch a full multi-cam edit generated live, from ingest to structured rough cut, in minutes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In addition, Cutback will present a live demo at the Tech Chat Theatre on Sunday, April 19 at 1:40 PM, showcasing how a complete edit can be built from raw footage within a single session.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>About Cutback<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Founded in 2024 and headquartered in San Francisco and Seoul, Cutback builds AI-powered tools that accelerate professional video editing workflows without replacing the editor&rsquo;s creative control.
