What is FireCut?
FireCut is a plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve that automates the boring stuff so you can spend your energy on the interesting stuff. Our goal is to get you to your first cut in minutes, not hours.
With FireCut, you can remove silences from raw footage, detect chapters in your video, remove repetition (multiple takes of the script), edit multi-track videos like podcasts, and much more...
How can l edit captions created with FireCut?
FireCut creates captions as PNG images. In order to edit any captions, simply select the clip(s) you want to edit, and then in FireCut click Add captions > Edit selected captions.
This will load up the selected captions into the editing panel. If you want to load the full transcript, just click Load full transcript.
You are now free to make any changes in this panel. To update the captions, click Add styled captions to sequence. This will add the updated captions in a new track to ensure your original captions are not over-written or affected in any way.
How can l share my Styled caption presets with others?
Your caption presets are stored in this file:
- Windows: %APPDATA%\FireCut\caption_presets_custom.json (or full version: C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\FireCut\caption_presets_custom.json)
- Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/FireCut/caption_presets_custom.json (or full version: /Users/<your username>/Library/Application Support/FireCut/caption_presets_custom.json)
To share them between users/devices, just copy this file across to the new user, making a backup of the existing file if required.
Will l lose my Styled caption presets if l change my license key?
No, your caption presets are saved to your device. They will be available even if you change your license key.
