[Video Editing Tips] Fast Rough Cut & Captions in Premiere Pro! Introducing 'FlowCut v1.0.0' & User Guide

What takes up the most time when editing videos? Without a doubt, it is the endless routine of cutting out silent gaps (rough cuts) and speech-to-text (STT) subtitling.

Today, we introduce FlowCut v1.0.0, an Adobe Premiere Pro extension designed to automate these tedious tasks and dramatically cut down your editing time.

1. What is FlowCut?

FlowCut is a video editing assistant tool built as a dedicated CEP Extension panel for Adobe Premiere Pro.

It analyzes speech and silence throughout your footage, trims inactive empty spaces in a single sweep, and combines speech-to-text (STT) and automated translation to apply stylized caption templates quickly within an all-in-one pipeline.

2. Key Features

Looking into the FlowCut package, it packs essential features tailored for video creators:

• Smart Silence Cut
