The rough cut of your talking head, done while you get coffee.
Select the clips, press Auto Edit. It cuts the silence, transcribes on your PC, finds the sentences you said twice, the "uh"s and the words you would rather not publish, then shows you everything colour-coded before a single cut is made.
Free to download. The basics stay free forever; Pro unlocks every tool, cancel any time.
Hey everyone, ··· 2.3s so today we're looking at the new rooftop lounge, the new rooftop lounge and honestly um it's ··· 1.8s bigger than I expected. Like there's a pool up here, a bar, and this third tower you can see from the deck.
You approve every word. Then it cuts.
Nothing is deleted blindly. The transcript comes back marked up; click a word to keep it, drag to flip a whole sentence, then apply.
Hey everyone, ··· 2.3s so today we're looking at the new rooftop lounge, the new rooftop lounge and honestly um it's ··· 1.8s bigger than I expected. Like there's a pool up here, a bar, you know, and this third tower you can see from the deck. It's damn impressive. ··· 4.1s Let me show you the view first, let me show you the view first, then the rooms.
Six steps, one button.
1 · Cut silence
Finds the pauses in the audio and ripple-deletes them. Threshold, minimum length and padding are yours to set.
2 · Transcribe
Whisper runs on your own PC. Free, offline, 90+ languages, word timings included. Nothing is uploaded.
3 · Clean takes
Sentences you said twice within a few seconds: the last take stays, the earlier ones go.
4 · Filler words
Uh, um, hmm, like, you know. The list is yours; add the ones you say.
5 · Profanity
Mute, beep or cut the words on your banned list.
6 · Smooth audio
A short constant-power crossfade on every audio cut, so the edit never clicks.
Three steps. Nothing to learn.
Every step also exists as its own tool: Word Captions, Take Cleaner, Filler Words, Profanity Filter, Cut Silence, plus Speaker Switch for podcasts, Punch Zoom, Beat Markers and the Reframe Pack.
Select the clips on your timeline (or the whole sequence) and press Auto Edit. Simple mode is one button; Advanced opens each step with its full settings.
Review the colour-coded transcript with the waveform under it. Toggle words, multi-select with drag or shift-click, uncheck whole categories.
Apply. The panel makes the cuts, closes the gaps, adds the crossfades and keeps the transcript in sync for the next run.
Frequently asked
Is Auto Edit free?
Auto Edit and the other assistants are part of Pro: $19 a month, $149 a year or $299 once. The free panel includes the 3D Carousel, the transitions, the timeline sidebar and stock search.
Does my footage leave my computer?
No. Transcription runs locally with whisper.cpp, and the cutting is done by Premiere itself. There is no upload and no per-minute credit.
Which languages?
Whisper covers 90+ languages. Take and filler detection work on any of them; the filler list is editable so you can add the ones in your language.
Can I undo it?
Yes, it is a normal Premiere edit. Ctrl+Z steps back through it, and the review screen lets you keep anything before it is applied.
Multicam podcasts?
Speaker Switch cuts a multicam sequence to whoever is talking. Beat Markers and Punch Zoom add movement afterwards.
