What Premiere Assistant does
Premiere Assistant keeps your entire finishing workflow inside Premiere. You're finishing an edit and need accurate captions, and you want to clean up silences and filler words before you publish. Normally that means exporting to separate tools, reformatting files, and importing everything back.
Premiere Assistant handles all of that inside Premiere. Transcribe your footage, generate and animate captions, translate into 30+ languages, and use AI tools to trim your edit and add effects, all without leaving your project. Creators who use Premiere Assistant report reducing their editing time by up to 90%.

Core capabilities
Captions and animated captions
Transcribe your footage and generate accurate captions directly in Premiere. Adjust line length, punctuation, layout, and hide filler words, repeated words, or profanity. Translate into 30+ languages, customize animated caption templates, and apply shortform effects in two clicks. No export required.
Trim tools for finishing cleanup
Trim tools let you use AI to clean up your footage as part of your final edit. [Remove silence], [Remove filler words], [Remove retakes], [Edit according to script], and [Create shortform clips] analyze your transcript and mark what to cut. Review the suggestions and apply in one click.
Text-based editing
Text-based editing lets you navigate and cut your footage by reading the transcript rather than scrubbing through the timeline. Select text to mark cuts, which is faster for finding specific moments in dialogue-heavy content.
Multi-cam switch
Multi-cam switch automatically cuts between camera angles based on who's speaking, without manual cutting.
Effects and visuals
The effects and visuals tools let you apply motion effects with [Animate object], change or remove backgrounds with [Background effect], and edit your own images with AI tools, all inside Premiere.
How Premiere Assistant fits your workflow
Premiere Assistant is built for the finishing stage of your edit. If you're prepping or building a rough cut from long footage, that's what Selects is for. Once your rough cut is ready, bring it into Premiere and use Premiere Assistant to caption, translate, style, and polish.

FAQs
Do I need to leave Premiere to use Premiere Assistant?
You do not need to leave Premiere to use Premiere Assistant. It runs as a plugin inside Adobe Premiere, so everything from transcription to caption styling stays within your existing project.
How is Premiere Assistant different from Selects?
Selects is for prep and rough cuts: multi-cam sync, AI-generated rough cuts, and topic breakdown for long footage. Premiere Assistant is for finishing: captions, caption styling, translation, and cleanup inside your Premiere project. The two are designed to work together.
Which versions of Premiere does Premiere Assistant support?
Premiere Assistant supports Premiere Pro 2023 and later. For the best experience, use the latest version of Premiere Pro available.

Yes. Premiere Assistant is a Premiere extension (plugin), so Adobe Premiere is required. Support for other apps like Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve is under consideration.
