What AutoCut is

AutoCut is a plugin, not a standalone editor. It sits inside Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve and handles the repetitive early steps of a cut: taking out silence, writing captions, adding zoom and suggesting B-roll.

The value is a faster rough cut that an editor then shapes into something with rhythm.

What you can do with it

Strip silence and long pauses automatically
Generate captions without typing them
Add auto zoom that follows the subject
Insert B-roll suggestions to cover cuts
Test the result in a copy project before committing

Who it is for

Video editors handling talk-heavy material
Podcast editors cutting episodes
Course and tutorial producers
Short video creators working from long recordings

What to watch out for

The plugin can cut pauses that carry meaning, so semantic pauses need review
Captions can mishear terminology
B-roll suggestions can bring in footage you do not have rights to use
You need a compatible local Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve version and a project backup
