Paste your script and Premiere Assistant cuts your footage to match. You choose how strictly to follow it, then review the suggested edits before applying them to your Premiere sequence.
Note: Edit according to script requires transcription. Complete the Trim steps first before using this feature. See Clean up your video with Trim.
Edit according to script
In [Trim], click the [Cut tools] dropdown and select [Edit according to script].
Paste your script into the [Paste script here] field.
Choose how you want the edit to follow the script:
[Stick to the script]: the video is trimmed to match the script exactly. Parts not in the script may be removed.
[Use as rough guideline]: the video is edited loosely based on the script. Some unscripted sections may be kept if they fit naturally.
A draft preview opens. Review the suggested edits in the transcript.
Click [Save] to accept the draft, or [Discard] to cancel and start over.
Click [Apply to sequence] to push the edits to your Premiere timeline.
[Create new sequence]: saves changes to a new sequence while keeping your original untouched.
[Apply to original sequence]: updates your existing sequence with the changes.
Note:
Edits are not applied to your sequence until you click [Apply to sequence]. Any changes not applied will be lost.
Your captions will stay in sync when you apply to sequence. If you plan to continue working on captions, do not make any direct edits in the Premiere sequence afterward, as this can cause your captions to fall out of sync.
