Comparison

Black Hat Editor Tools or AutoCut?

Both cut silences, lay down captions and edit multicam. The real question is elsewhere: which software you cut on, and whether you want to generate video without leaving your timeline.

What AutoCut does better

🎬

DaVinci Resolve, on top of Premiere

Their site lists Adobe Premiere Pro 2023-2026 and DaVinci Resolve 18.6 or later, both the free and Studio versions. We are a Premiere Pro plugin, full stop.

🧱

Eleven named, documented modules

AutoCaptions, AutoCut Silences, AutoCut Podcast, AutoCut Angles, AutoZoom, AutoViral, AutoB-Rolls, AutoCut Repeat, AutoProfanity Filter, AutoChapters, AutoResize.

💰

An entry tier on silence cutting alone

Their cheapest plan contains only silence detection. If that is all you need, it is a shorter ticket in than ours.

Our strong suit

What we add on top

AI video generation in the timeline

More than eighteen text-to-video models and ten image-to-video ones: Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0, Sora 2. The ratio is read off your sequence, the clip lands at the playhead.

🤖

A conversational agent that acts

Ask AI runs Claude Code on your machine with your own subscription. No API key inside the plugin, no proxy server, and strict guardrails on what it can do.

🗃

Your local media library, indexed and searchable

ffprobe scans your B-Roll folder, Claude enriches the descriptions, and the search blends a lexical pass with a semantic rerank. Everything stays on your machine.

How it works

How to decide

  1. 01

    You cut on DaVinci Resolve

    Take AutoCut. We are a Premiere Pro CEP extension: on Resolve, we simply do not install.

  2. 02

    You mostly want to cut silences, nothing more

    Their entry plan is cut out for that. Ours includes a lot of things you will never touch.

  3. 03

    You want to generate video without leaving Premiere

    That is the difference that cannot be made up: B-Roll Studio, Animate and Motion Design Studio generate the shots and place them straight onto the timeline.

Frequently asked questions

? Do you cut silences as well as they do?

The principle is the same: a dB threshold, a minimum duration, a padding. Our engine edits the project XML rather than using the razor tool, which leaves a clean undo history: one Ctrl+Z reverses everything.

? Do you have an equivalent of AutoProfanity Filter or AutoResize?

No. Those are two modules AutoCut offers and we do not have. If either one is central to your work, the answer is on their side.

? And if I am on both Premiere Pro and DaVinci?

A tool covering both saves you learning two interfaces. That is a real argument for AutoCut, and we will not pretend otherwise.

? When was this information gathered?

The AutoCut details were taken from autocut.com on 12 September 2026, with no price quoted: prices change, check them on their site.
