About Cutback
Cutback is an AI-powered video editing assistant designed for individual editors, creators, YouTubers, and producers seeking faster footage preparation and repeatable editing workflows. The tool ingests raw footage, transcribes audio, detects speakers, removes silences, and organizes clips by topic. It supports multi-cam sync and exports structured timelines to Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve with nested sequences, color coding, and markers. Cutback also generates auto rough cuts to highlight key moments, select best takes, and cut based on scripts, alongside text-based trimming and automatic chapter detection. The Premiere Assistant plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro automates in-timeline tasks such as caption generation, silence removal, zoom effects, B-roll search, photo editing, content summarization, and adding copyright-free media. The tool bridges standalone footage-prep with in-NLE workflows, offering exports tailored for multiple editing platforms and an Official Adobe Video Partner listing.
