Premiere Assistant reviews your transcript and suggests segments that work well as standalone shortform content for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, or TikTok. Pick a segment, set your layout, and Premiere Assistant creates a dedicated new sequence ready to keep editing.
Note: Create shortform clips requires transcription. Complete the Trim steps first before using this feature. See Clean up your video with Trim.
