What RapidCut AI is
RapidCut AI is an Adobe Premiere Pro plug-in that applies typed editing requests to the real Premiere Pro timeline. It lists more than 260 actions, including silence and filler-word removal, captions, multicamera editing, auto-reframing, and rough-cut assembly. When a built-in action is unavailable, it can execute custom scripts. Users can connect Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT from OpenAI, or OpenRouter; the maker describes Claude connection as free without an API key. Project files and finished video stay on the user’s machine, while AI chat needs internet access. Audio relevant to transcription and silence detection is sent to RapidCut and processing providers transiently and is not used to train models. Premiere Pro 2024 or later is required on Windows or macOS, including Intel and Apple Silicon. A three-day card-required trial and 30-day money-back guarantee are listed.
