Short answer
Video selects workflow
Search footage, verify the source moment, save selects, and export clean handoff files.
02
Verify in context
Open each result at the timestamp and confirm it belongs in the selects pass.
03
Export cleanly
Create NLE handoff files, subtitles, metadata, or CSV outputs from reviewed selections.
The friction
Selects break down when search, review, and export are separate
Search footage, verify the source moment, save selects, and export clean handoff files.
01
Editors find a moment in one tool, verify it in another, and rebuild the handoff somewhere else.
02
Manual timestamp copying creates small errors that slow the edit later.
03
The workflow should preserve source context from search through export.

Fragmented selects vs one verified loop
Focus workflow
Focus- Search, playback, selects, and export together.
- Local files stay in place.
- Handoff formats preserve timing.
Fragmented workflow
- Search and playback are disconnected.
- Timestamps move by hand.
- Handoff cleanup moves into the NLE.
