Overview

AutoEdit is an AI plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro that builds a rough cut from talking-head footage, removing dead air, repeated takes, and filler words, then adding captions, using Claude to parse the transcript for meaning rather than cutting on waveform silence alone. The product, part of the Eleven Percent plugin suite, comes from solo creator Devin Huynh, a former Los Angeles videographer and editor now based in Thailand, and launched its Creator Mode on Product Hunt on May 29, 2026.

Because the underlying model reads the transcript for content rather than pure audio levels, AutoEdit can detect when a creator restates the same point twice and keep the stronger take instead of preserving every spoken word, and it captions and transcribes across multiple languages as part of the same pass. The tool ships as one plugin with multiple modes, Creator Mode for talking-head content, Music Video Mode for beat-synced edits, and a standalone Selectr B-roll selector, rather than one fixed workflow.

Solo creators and small teams producing high-volume talking-head video, YouTubers, course creators, podcasters, are the target users rather than feature-film editors. Pricing runs a free forever tier (four tools, no AI editing), Lite at $9.99/month (4 videos, 45 minutes of AI editing), Creator at $29.99/month (15 videos, 2 hours), Pro at $79.99/month (40 videos, 5 hours), and custom Business/Enterprise pricing above that.

Key features

  • Transcript-based editing that understands meaning, not waveform silence alone
  • Automatic detection and removal of repeated takes, keeping the stronger version
  • Multi-language transcription and captioning generated in the same editing pass
  • Music Video Mode for beat-synced edits from performance footage and B-roll
