A Premiere Pro timeline with sounds on the tracks

  • Premiere Pro
  • Auto-editing

An editor who never gets tired. Guillotine cuts a video recording the way a pro does: pauses, retakes, abandoned phrases and “Hon, let's go again” go by themselves, and the finished edit lands next to your sequence. Multi-camera dialogue and short vertical videos from the same recording — one button too.

  • ~95% — the way I'd edit it myself
  • Decides what to cut on its own
  • Leaves your project alone
  • Premiere doesn't slow down
  • Hears even a whisper
  • Bad audio is no problem

How it works

Three stages, like an editor: it listens, understands, cuts — on its own.

  1. Sound

    Hears where people speak

    Marks speech, silence, breaths. Hears even a whisper.

  2. Model

    Reads what was said

    Picks the good phrase out of three takes, drops abandoned bits and remarks to the operator.

    Only in Pauses and Retakes mode.

  3. Cutting

    Cuts only in silence

    The cut lands in a pause: the Pauses slider sets the margin.

    loose — 120 msnormal — 70 mstight — 40 ms
  4. No graphics card

    Press it and get on with your day

    Runs apart from Premiere, no graphics card — doesn't slow it down.

The Monologue window

A vlog, a lesson, an address — pauses and retakes, one button.

Breaths and “um”

Mumbling goes with the pauses

Under 3 s with no words — a breath, an “um”, a rustle — goes with the silence.

Cuts only silence, words stay whole

Trial

The first 5 minutes as a trial

First 5 Minutes Only — the button becomes Edit Test.

5 minutes are charged, not the whole recording

Second camera

A second angle, all by itself

A second angle follows your settings — the cut hides in the change of shot.

no more often than: 0–120 sno less often than: 1–300 s

By default — every 15 s at least

The Dialogue window

An interview, a podcast — the camera follows whoever speaks.

  1. “Who Speaks”

    Listens to the microphones, marks who speaks. Any number of cameras.

  2. Roles

    Each mic gets its camera — the panel guesses on its own.

  3. “Edit”

    Whoever speaks is on screen and in sound. The silent one is muted.

  • One camera at every moment
  • “Pauses Only” — no model

The Short Videos window

A long recording turns into vertical videos on its own.

Hook, build, finale

The model builds a video from the recording: an opening, the point, the takeaway — in a new marked sequence.

30–120 s by default10–180 s allowed

Results in numbers

My recording, my edit — and what the panel did on its own.

The author's word on his own recordings — a feel, not a measurement.

Hours are spent by recording length and mode. Pauses Only mode spends no hours.

Version 2.3.0

November 5, 2026

Added

  • The panel now installs and updates its sound analysis module by itself: on opening it checks whether the module is current and, if the website has a newer one or it is missing, downloads it (about 2.2 GB) and installs it with no Windows dialogs.
  • Above the steps you see "Updating the sound analysis module · N %" with a bar; Stop cancels the download, and the next opening starts over. With no connection to the website, the panel keeps working with the installed module if it is 1.1.1 or newer.

Fixed

  • Opening another sequence in Premiere during the analysis no longer stops the cut with "choose the track again": the panel switches back to the sequence it analyzed and cuts that one. If it cannot switch back (the sequence was deleted), the panel says so, names it, and no minutes are spent.
