How to use FireCut

FireCut

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.

Summary and Review:

FireCut is an advanced AI tool designed to enhance video editing workflows by integrating directly into Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. One of the key strengths of FireCut is its intuitive interface, which allows both novice and professional editors to leverage its Video Generation capabilities efficiently. The plugin’s main menu acts as a central hub, giving quick access to all features, settings, and essential controls. From here, users can navigate seamlessly between tools like silence removal, chapter detection, zoom cuts, and automated captions, ensuring that repetitive editing tasks are handled intelligently by the AI.


The Settings menu in FireCut is equally user-friendly, allowing editors to verify their license key and manage app-wide preferences. This ensures a smooth, personalized experience across projects. FireCut also emphasizes safety and precision with its dedicated Undo button. Unlike traditional undo shortcuts (Ctrl+Z or Cmd+Z), the plugin’s Undo function reliably rolls back changes, such as removing silences or repeated takes, preserving your original timeline while giving creators confidence to experiment freely.


FireCut also provides practical maintenance options. The Reload plugin button offers a simple way to reset or recover the plugin if issues arise, such as freezing or conflicts with the timeline, minimizing disruptions in the Video Generation workflow. Regular updates are handled conveniently through the plugin itself, which notifies users of new versions and downloads the latest installer automatically. This ensures that editors always have access to the most advanced AI-driven tools and improvements without cumbersome manual updates.


By combining an intuitive interface with robust AI tool functionality, FireCut transforms time-consuming editing tasks into streamlined, automated processes. Its features—ranging from silence removal and multi-track editing to zoom cuts, captions, and chapter detection—empower editors to focus on creative decisions while AI handles repetitive, technical work. Overall, FireCut is an indispensable plugin for anyone looking to accelerate video production, enhance workflow efficiency, and produce high-quality, engaging videos with AI-powered precision in modern Video Generation projects.
