# Auto Cut for Premiere Pro

Solves: Cutting dead air in Premiere on every track at once, with a preview before anything changes

A Premiere Pro panel that finds silences with ffmpeg, shows you a preview of every cut, then removes them and closes the gaps on all unlocked tracks at the same points so B-roll, screen recordings and music stay in sync. Presets for talking head, interview, screencast and aggressive.

Setup steps:

1. Install ffmpeg (brew install ffmpeg on a Mac).
2. Download or clone the repo and run ./install.sh from its folder.
3. Fully quit and reopen Premiere, then open Window > Extensions (Legacy) > Auto Cut (Window > Extensions on 2024 and earlier).
4. Duplicate your sequence, pick a preset and click Measure from audio.
5. Click Analyze, check the list of cuts, then click Apply cuts.

Safety notes:

* Duplicate your sequence first. Cuts are undoable, but the README recommends a spare sequence.
* Locked tracks are not cut, so unlock everything before running or your edit will drift out of sync.
* Uses Premiere's undocumented QE DOM, which has changed between versions. Run the built-in diagnostics if a cut fails.
* No server, API keys or accounts; needs ffmpeg installed.
