AutoCut review

AutoCut is a plugin for automating repeat editing jobs inside Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. It works on the timeline rather than as a separate video editor, and is listed for macOS and Windows. The toolkit covers several different tasks: removing silence with adjustable decibel thresholds and padding, transcribing dialogue for animated captions, and cutting multicamera footage based on active microphone tracks.

It also offers take selection to identify repeated takes and bloopers, automatic B-roll using Storyblocks footage, and vertical clips made from highlights in longer videos. The product information lists caption support for more than 80 languages and over 120 editable motion presets. Those features make AutoCut a broad post-production toolkit, but the plan distinction matters: the entry-level AutoCut Silences plan is limited to silence removal. The broader AI editing features are associated with a separate AI Plan, whose price and included features are not published on the vendor's site.

AutoCut’s appeal is straightforward: it can automate several repetitive tasks without sending footage out of Premiere Pro or Resolve. For editors who regularly need silence cleanup, captions, multicamera assemblies and short clips, having those tools in one plugin may be more useful than buying a separate tool for each job. Silence removal has adjustable thresholds and padding, while captions include a large set of editable motion presets, according to the product information.

The feature mix also suits podcast and social workflows. AutoCut can switch angles based on active microphone tracks, identify highlights for vertical clips, and insert contextual Storyblocks B-roll. Reddit discussion about these tools is mixed, but one thread described AutoCut’s clip selections as “fine-enough.” Other commenters discussing automated multicamera editing said it can help create a rough assembly, provided someone reviews the camera choices afterward. That is a reasonable way to assess the pitch: automation can take care of an initial pass, while the editor remains responsible for pacing, content and polish. The value will depend on how often those specific tasks recur in your workflow.

The main buying catch is the entry plan. The published low-confidence pricing notes list AutoCut Silences at $79 billed yearly, or about $6.58 per month, and say it supports one computer at a time. It has no project-duration or video-length limit, but includes silence removal only. The notes list a 14-day free trial; treat that and the price as provisional, since the monthly price is not available. An AI Plan is named, but its price and inclusions are not published on the vendor's site.

Automated edits also need a human pass. In one Reddit thread about AI editing tools, commenters said automatic camera choices could be wrong and require correction; another described using automation for a rough cut before refining the switches. That is not proof every AutoCut feature will create extra work, but it is a reason not to budget as if the first pass is finished. Premiere users also pointed to built-in text-based silence removal as an alternative, which may be enough if silence cleanup is all you need. The subscription is harder to justify when you will use only that one task.

According to the pricing information checked on November 7, 2026, AutoCut Silences costs $79 billed yearly, or about $6.58 per month. The plan is for silence removal only: it allows one computer at a time and has no project-duration or video-length limit. It does not include the broader AI editing features.

The AI Plan is listed, but its price and included features are not published in the published pricing information. That means we can’t calculate the cost of moving from silence removal to captions, multicamera edits, or other AI tools. The price jump between tiers is unknown, not a small-print figure we can verify. Monthly billing is also not published; $6.58 is the yearly-billing equivalent, not a confirmed month-to-month rate.

The notes list a 14-day free trial and no free plan. No add-ons are listed. Treat these figures cautiously: the published pricing data is marked low confidence, so confirm the current checkout price and renewal terms before subscribing.

AutoCut runs as a plugin inside Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, so switching to it means adding automations to an editor you already use—not moving your whole editing workflow into a new desktop editor. The likely setup work is choosing which tasks to automate and reviewing their results; the published information does not document a migration process or setup requirements.

If you leave, the key question is whether your projects remain usable without AutoCut. The product description says it works directly on the timeline, but export options, project portability, and what happens to AutoCut-specific edits after cancellation are not published in the published material. Check those points before building a recurring workflow around the plugin.

We don’t have sourced Reddit reports about why users leave AutoCut, so we won’t attribute a migration complaint to its community. The clearest reasons to compare alternatives here are the silence-only entry plan, unpublished AI Plan pricing, and the need to review automated cuts. If you need polished cuts without human review, the stated verdict is that AutoCut may not fit.
