FireCut

FireCut is a revolutionary AI tool designed to supercharge video editing workflows, making repetitive tasks faster and smarter. As a plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, FireCut integrates seamlessly into your existing editing environment, acting as a co-pilot for creators who want to focus on creativity while letting AI handle time-consuming processes. Its capabilities in Video Generation and intelligent automation allow editors to produce professional-quality videos in minutes instead of hours.

At its core, FireCut automates the tedious parts of editing. It can quickly remove silences, detect chapters, eliminate repeated takes, and even filter out filler words or profanity. These features make it especially powerful for multi-track projects such as podcasts, interviews, and scripted content. By handling these repetitive tasks, FireCut allows creators to concentrate on storytelling, pacing, and creative enhancements.

One of FireCut’s standout features is its ability to add dynamic zoom cuts automatically, enhancing engagement in both long-form and short-form content. Editors can also generate captions instantly, find relevant B-roll, and select music or stock footage powered by Storyblocks—all without leaving the editor. Chapter detection and highlight creation further streamline post-production, making it easier to structure content for audiences and platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram Shorts.

Trusted by top creators and industry-leading brands, FireCut empowers video editors to save hours every day. Its intuitive AI-driven interface ensures that even complex multi-track edits are handled efficiently. From creating viral shorts to professional podcasts, FireCut accelerates the journey from raw footage to polished, shareable content.

With features like silence cutting, repetition removal, automated captions, zoom cuts, B-roll and music suggestions, chapter detection, and multi-track editing, FireCut is more than just an editor—it’s a full-fledged AI tool for modern Video Generation. By combining speed, precision, and creative automation, FireCut transforms how creators edit, producing professional-quality videos faster than ever before.

Main menu

FireCut's main menu is the "home" page for the plugin. It shows:

• Buttons for different features
• Button for the Settings menu
• At the top: a link to FireCut's homepage, an "Undo" button, a "Reload plugin" button, and (when an update is available) an "Update" button

Settings menu

The Settings menu is used for verifying your license key and managing any app-wide settings.

Undo

The Undo button gives you a way to roll back any changes made by a FireCut feature.

It will save a copy of your sequence before operations like removing silences. If you wish to undo the operation, just click on "Undo" at the top of FireCut and confirm. Please note: Using Ctrl+Z or Cmd+Z for rolling back FireCut operations is not recommended. The "Undo" button is the most reliable way of rolling back these changes.

Reload plugin

The Reload plugin button is a convenient way to abort / reset the plugin in case you run into any issues.

You should not need to use this button often, but it can be helpful in case the plugin freezes / crashes, or is causing any issues with your timeline. It has the same effect as closing the plugin window and re-opening it from Window > Extensions > FireCut.

Update to the latest version

FireCut will show you when a version update is available.

Just click this button and FireCut will download the latest installer file (.exe or .pkg, depending on your platform). The installation works the same as how you installed FireCut the first time; it will just replace the old version. Run the installed and restart Premiere Pro to start using the latest version.

If this method doesn't work or you would prefer to use a different installation method, you can always find the latest FireCut installers in your dashboard.
