Why switch
01
Same coverage at 23% of the price
FireCut Pro is $34/month for silence cuts, captions, chapters, and multicam. PremiereCopilot ships the same four tools — plus eight more — for $7.99/month. That's $313 saved over a year, with strictly more functionality.
02
Text-to-edit AI copilot
FireCut's tools are pre-configured panels. PremiereCopilot adds Copilot: type 'cut every pause longer than 0.5s, add captions, then push chapters to YouTube' and Claude/GPT/Gemini does the multi-step edit on your real timeline.
03
GenAI inside Premiere — no Runway round-trip
Need B-roll, fill, character work, or img-to-video? PremiereCopilot routes 1000+ models (Veo, Kling, Runway, NanoBanana, SAM3) through Fal.AI, pay-as-you-go, and drops the result straight on your timeline. FireCut has no GenAI.
04
Motion design from a prompt
Vibe Motion replaces $249/year Motion Bro and AEJuice templates with generated motion design from a prompt — up to 4K60, transparent background, free. FireCut has no motion module.
05
Speaker diarization + viral clips
Auto-detect every speaker in a recording, split them into their own lane, then export the best 9:16 moments as Opus-Clip-style virals. Two tools FireCut doesn't ship.
