Your script on the left, the actual current timeline on the right, lined up row by row — a cut line leaves an empty slot on the right instead of shifting everything below it, and an added line does the same on the left. Play the cut sequence in Premiere and both sides highlight the same row together. Tap ✕ to cut a line or ↺ to restore one, right from here.

🎨 Color correction
Analyzes the clip at the playhead (face-detected skin tone + exposure/contrast/highlight/shadow read) and suggests Basic Correction values. With no reference chosen, it neutralizes the look; with a reference photo or frame, it matches this clip's tone toward the reference's instead.

Framing
Find faces
Just centre everything
Each clip fills the frame, centred on the face found in it. A clip with no face stays centred. Split screen and picture-in-picture clips are left exactly as they are.
Face framing needs a one-time setupAbout 60 MB, then it works offline. Until then, clips are centred instead.
Set up face framing
Several cameras
Everyone during back-and-forth
Always one person
When each camera has its own microphone, whoever is talking fills the frame, exactly like the Reframe card inside Shorts. A single camera is simply re-centred.

Your cut is not touched — this works on a copy.

Zoom cuts
After a trim, a talking head is a row of jump cuts. This punches in on every other piece so each jump reads as a change of angle, keeping the speaker’s face in shot.

▦ Split screen
Puts several clips on screen at once — three columns, a 2 × 2 grid, picture-in-picture. Works on clips already stacked on separate tracks at the playhead, or on clips sitting one after another on a single track (those get moved up onto their own tracks first). Audio is never moved.

Record a workflow
Press Start, do your process in Premiere exactly as you normally would, then press Stop. Script Cutter works out what you did to each clip and saves that as a recipe. It records what you did to clips — effects, colour, scale, position, crop — not which clips you added or how long you cut them, because those cannot mean the same thing in another edit.

Grouped by filename pattern — review and reassign any clip's group below before continuing. A clip with no clear pairing needs a group picked manually — a dedicated audio recorder file (e.g. a Zoom/lav rig) almost always falls into this category, since its name rarely matches the camera naming pattern. It still syncs and places correctly once you assign it to the right group.
