Automate the Rough Cut, Then Finish in Premiere Pro
Premiere is where you finish — not where you should spend 3 hours ripple-deleting dead air. AutoEditor does the first pass automatically: it finds the hook, cuts silences and bad takes, paces for retention, then exports the cut as XML so your Premiere project opens with the assembly already done. You keep Essential Graphics, Lumetri, and your finishing workflow — you just skip the mechanical part.

AutoEditor vs Premiere Pro
| Factor | AutoEditor | Premiere Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Automates human-like pacing quality to move from upload to publish-ready faster. | Likely needs more manual adjustments and review cycles for the same human-like pacing quality. |
| Repeatability | Presets keep workflows consistent across clips and episodes without rebuilding from scratch. | Replication depends on manual setup and can vary from one output to the next. |
| Output quality | Starts with smart defaults and lets creators tune quality without losing speed. | May deliver sharper control but at the cost of longer editing sessions. |
The options
| Option | Time | Cost | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AutoEditor | ~3 min per video | Flat subscription | Premiere Pro editors doing long-form content who want to automate the rough cut and finish in Premiere Pro | Human-like pacing quality handled automatically — less frame-level control |
| Edit it yourself | 2–6 hrs per video | Free–$55/mo in tools | Editors who want total control | The cost is your evenings — scales badly with output |
| Hire an editor | 24–72 hr turnaround | $25–$150 per video | High-stakes flagship content | Per-video cost grows with every upload |

Auto Editor Script For Premiere Pro Long Form Video FAQ
Does the XML keep all my cuts editable?
Yes — the export is an edit decision list. Every cut point, segment, and order comes into Premiere as real timeline edits you can slip, extend, or undo. Nothing is baked.
Is this like Premiere's built-in silence detection?
Premiere's silence tools find quiet; AutoEditor's first pass finds weak — bad takes, repeated points, pacing problems — and restructures, not just trims. It also makes the content decisions (what hook leads) that silence detection doesn't touch.
What about multicam or synced audio tracks?
Cuts apply to video and audio together at identical timecodes, so your tracks stay in sync. Bring the XML into your sequence and your audio setup is preserved.
Can I skip Premiere entirely?
If you want — AutoEditor renders the finished video too. The XML export exists for editors who want a finishing pass; plenty of creators take the rendered output directly.
