Alternative · AutoCut
The AutoCut alternative that costs 60% less and does 10× more.

- Adds 9 tools AutoCut does not have: copilot, captions, GenAI, diarization, chapters, virals, motion, zoom, subtitles
- Free forever tier with a daily quota — AutoCut has no free plan

- Native Premiere edits — real, undoable timeline operations, no re-export

Why switch
01
One plugin replaces four AutoCut tiers
AutoCut sells Pro, Podcast, Caption, and Resolve as separate products. PremiereCopilot bundles silence cuts, multicam podcast, animated captions, and 9 other tools into one $7.99/mo subscription. Cancel anytime, 7-day refund.
02
AI copilot AutoCut doesn't have
Type 'cut every silence longer than 0.4s and zoom in when I raise my voice' — Copilot performs the edits on your real Premiere timeline. Powered by Claude, GPT, or Gemini at your choice per project.
03
Animated captions native to Premiere
AutoCut Caption exists, but PremiereCopilot's Smart Captions also land as fully editable native Premiere title clips — change font, color, emoji, timing on any word, no re-export.
04
Native, undoable edits — no black box
Every cut, caption, and chapter lands as a normal Premiere operation you can slip, ripple, or override. AutoCut does this too — we just match it across 12 tools instead of 4.
05
Choice of AI model per project
Different cuts call for different brains: Claude for precision, Gemini for long context, GPT for instructions. AutoCut doesn't expose the underlying model — PremiereCopilot lets you pick.
How to migrate in 3 steps
1
1. Download PremiereCopilot (free)
Install the plugin from inside Adobe Exchange or our website. Works on Premiere Pro 2022+ on macOS and Windows. No credit card, no AutoCut uninstall needed — they coexist.
2
2. Re-run your last AutoCut project
Open a project you previously cut with AutoCut, run the matching PremiereCopilot tool (Smart Silences for silence cut, Podcast Multicam for multicam). Same algorithm class, equal or tighter cuts.
3
3. Cancel AutoCut when you're confident
Most editors confirm parity within a single project. Cancel the AutoCut subscription, save $11.80/month, and unlock 9 extra tools at the same time.
FAQ
Equal or tighter. Both use the same algorithm class for silence detection. PremiereCopilot adds a per-clip min/max duration and a speaker-frequency control that AutoCut doesn't expose.
Yes. Both plugins operate on your real timeline. You can keep AutoCut installed while you trial PremiereCopilot — they don't conflict.
PremiereCopilot is Premiere-only today. If your team splits between Premiere and Resolve, keep AutoCut Resolve for Resolve work and use PremiereCopilot for Premiere.
Not directly — presets aren't shared between products. Re-creating them in PremiereCopilot takes 30 seconds; the parameter names are equivalent.
Better — there's a free tier with a generous daily quota on every tool. No card, no trial expiry. Upgrade to Pro+ ($7.99/mo) only when you exceed the daily limit.
Yes. Monthly or yearly, cancel from your dashboard in two clicks. 7-day refund on any first purchase.
Bottom line
If you only need silence cuts, AutoCut works. If you also want captions, multicam, AI copilot, GenAI, chapters, diarization, virals, motion, zoom, and subtitles — switch to PremiereCopilot and pay 60% less.
