AutoCut

AutoCut is a plugin that adds a set of automated editing tools directly inside Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, rather than asking editors to work in a separate app. Once installed, it can strip silences and dead air from a timeline, generate animated captions with translation, switch cameras automatically in multicam podcast recordings, add contextual zooms, detect and remove duplicate takes, insert stock B-roll footage sourced from StoryBlocks, bleep out profanity, build YouTube chapter markers, and resize a sequence for different social formats. It is built by a French team and is an official Adobe Video Partner, running on Premiere Pro 2023 through 2026 and DaVinci Resolve 18.6 and later, on both Windows and Mac. The plugin is aimed at editors who handle repetitive, mechanical cleanup work — podcast producers doing multicam switching, YouTubers removing filler pauses, and social media teams reformatting long videos into shorts — rather than at the earlier creative decisions of story assembly. Pricing runs from a Basic plan at $79 per year covering only silence removal, up to an AI plan at roughly $179 per year for the full feature set, plus a custom Enterprise tier; a 14-day free trial is available without a credit card. One limitation: it works only as a plugin inside these two editors, not as standalone software.
