Cut the retakes.
Keep the take.
Script Cutter is a Premiere Pro panel that trims your footage to match your script, cleans up duplicate takes and filler, and drops chapter markers, callouts, and branded graphic cards right into your timeline.
Trim your clips
Cut footage down using a client script, automatic clean up, or silence removal.
Add annotations
Chapters, text callouts, and rendered graphic cards for an already cut sequence.
An honest recreation of the real panel — not a screenshot, this is still early beta.
Two things you can do with it
Everything happens inside Premiere. Nothing renders or uploads anywhere else.
Trim your clips
Cut footage down using a client script, automatic clean up, or silence removal, whichever matches what you have.
Paste the script the video should follow. We cut the footage to match, dropping off script takes, tangents, and duplicate reads.
No script needed. We detect duplicate takes, false starts, and filler words from the transcript and cut them. A fast first pass.
No take decisions, every word stays. Only trims long pauses. Safe to run any time, including after you have already applied cuts.
Add annotations
Once your cut is locked, layer in chapter markers, callouts, and on brand graphic cards, reviewed and placed by you, never auto published.
Claude reads your final cut script and proposes chapter breaks, callouts, and text cards, or paste your own notes instead.
Give it an image, a product shot, comparison, or before and after, and Claude suggests a rendered graphic card. You customize it and place it.
Five graphic card templates, ready when you need them
Every rendered card matches your own brand colors and fonts. Pick a template, drop in your content, place it on the timeline.
Definition card
Term plus definition, styled as a clean lower third style card.
Single image
Heading, image, and optional caption. Works for product shots, treated areas, before and afters, or diagrams.
Product comparison
Two or three products side by side, with an optional label between them.
Before / after grid
Two to nine image pairs in a grid, each with its own optional caption.
Multi point list
One title, then three to five repeated heading and body points.
No subscription. No metering. You bring your own AI key.
Most tools like this meter your usage or lock features behind a monthly plan. Script Cutter has no subscription system at all. The free tier runs entirely on device, and the AI assisted tier runs on an API key you control and pay for directly.
