    Hey friends, Over the last couple of years, as I've grown my YouTube channel and coached other YouTubers through the Part-Time YouTuber Academy, I’ve looked for ways to optimise the video creation system — from scripting, to filming, to editing, to publishing, to repurposing. For most YouTubers, by far the most time-consuming part of this system is… Editing. If you’re new, editing is typically a major hurdle to just getting started. For experienced creators, it quickly becomes something they outsource because they don’t enjoy it. But what if editing could be fun? Over the past few months, we challenged ourselves to build a tool that: - Automates the boring, repetitive tasks - Gets us to a “first cut” of the video quicker - Gives our editors more time for the creative stuff that really adds value And I’m so excited to share with you what we’ve come up with: FireCut for Adobe Premiere Pro (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/firecut-ai). FireCut speeds up the editing process by automating stuff like silence cutting, zoom cuts, captioning, chapter detection, even podcast editing — all of which normally takes many hours for every single video. We’ve already received some amazing feedback (and lots of feature requests!) from our users, but we’re definitely still in the early stages and would absolutely love your feedback and support! Please check it out and tell us what you think :) Ali xx

    Sounds awesome, and I got excited when I read the title, until I've seen it's only for Premiere. Oh well. Until it supports other editors, I'll keep on using Gling.ai 🙂

    That’s definitely a cool start! I was there was some tool that I basically just give a reference video and tell it to cut it in the same style and look. That would be a game changer for me!
