AI editing plugin that trims silence and builds captions inside your NLE
Intermediate
What is FireCut?
FireCut is a clip finder tool. A plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve that automates silence removal, captions, zoom cuts and chapters inside the editor, with a free trial available from the vendor's site.
FireCut is a plugin that runs inside Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, adding an AI assistant directly to the editing timeline rather than asking you to move footage into a separate web app. Its job is to remove the repetitive labour that fills most edit sessions: cutting dead air and silence, generating captions, adding zoom cuts, building chapters, and turning long recordings into shorter clips. The tool is aimed at editors who already work in Premiere or Resolve and do not want to change that. That covers podcast producers cleaning up long conversations, creators publishing weekly YouTube content, and teams producing viral shorts from existing long-form material. Because FireCut operates on the timeline itself, the results arrive as editable clips and layers rather than a flattened export, so a cut can be nudged or a caption corrected by hand afterwards. In practice the workflow is the familiar one: import media, run the relevant FireCut function, then review. Silence removal trims pauses across a sequence, captioning adds timed text, zoom cuts introduce movement for retention, and chapter detection labels sections of a long recording. The homepage also positions the tool around podcast production and short-form repurposing, which suggests the intended path from one long recording to several published pieces. Where it fits: FireCut is a workflow accelerator for existing NLE users, not a standalone editor. Alternatives split roughly in two, browser based AI editors that handle everything on their own servers, and plugins that extend Premiere and Resolve. FireCut sits in the second group, so its value depends on how much of your week is already spent inside those two applications. Editors working in other software, or on machines that cannot run the host app, get nothing from it.
How do you use FireCut?
1Check the host app and start the trial
Confirm you edit in Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, since FireCut depends on one of those hosts. Begin the free trial from the vendor site before installing.
2Install the plugin into your NLE
Follow the setup flow to add FireCut to your editing application, then reopen the host so the panel appears in the workspace.3Import footage and run silence removal
Bring your recording into the timeline and run the silence pass. Review the cuts on the waveform and restore anything the detector removed too aggressively.4Generate captions and correct them
Run the caption function on the trimmed sequence, then read through the timed text and fix names, jargon and misheard words by hand.5Add zoom cuts and chapter markers
Apply zoom cuts to sections that need momentum, and let FireCut mark chapters so a long recording is navigable on the platform you publish to.6Export the long version and the shorts
Finish with the full edit, then use the tool to pull shorter segments for social channels, checking each clip's framing and audio before publishing.
