What is FireCut?

FireCut is an AI video editing plugin made by FireCrafts Ltd. It runs inside Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve and edits directly in the editor timeline, so footage does not need to be uploaded to a separate app or exported. The site describes it as a fast AI editor for silence cutting, captions, zooms, chapters, podcasts and short-form clips.

FireCut is a plugin rather than a standalone editor, so it depends on one of the two host applications. FireCut for Premiere Pro requires Premiere Pro 2022 or later on Windows or macOS, and the DaVinci Resolve version supports Windows, macOS and Linux. A separate product, FireCut Shorts, works in a browser without any install.

How does FireCut work?

Each feature starts from the FireCut panel inside the editor. For silence removal, a user picks a tightness setting of loose, default or tight and clicks Go. FireCut analyzes the sequence, finds silences and cuts them as jump cuts in the timeline. Advanced mode adds a dB threshold, a minimum silence duration, start and end padding, optional J-cuts and a review step for excluding individual silences.

Other features follow a similar pattern of analyze, review and apply. Dialogue cleanup flows let editors inspect detected filler words, repeated phrases and profanity before edits are applied. An internet connection is required for features that call AI, transcription, B-roll, music, sound effect or voiceover services. Transcription draws on a monthly allowance, and editors can keep working from an existing subtitle track once the quota is used.

Key features of FireCut

Dialogue tools include silence removal, filler-word removal such as um and uh, repetition removal for repeated takes, and profanity muting or bleeping. Filler-word removal is currently English-only, according to the pricing page. Captions are word-by-word and animated, with transcription in 50+ languages, though only English is fully supported and the rest are labeled experimental. SRT and VTT subtitle files can be exported.

Structural tools include automatic zoom cuts, chapter detection with generated intro slides, highlight creation that reframes long videos to 9:16, and multi-track tools that switch cameras for podcasts and split multichannel recorder files into mono tracks. Media tools cover B-roll search with Storyblocks footage, background music, sound effects and text-to-speech voiceover using ElevenLabs models. The Max plan adds Magic cut, script-guided editing and workflows.
