AI-assisted workflows inside Premiere ProIf you are dealing with manual speaker-by-speaker camera switching, you probably do not need another AI chat giving you edit notes. You need something that can use Premiere Pro and put an actual cut on the timeline.
Claude is like the handyman; Premiere Pro has the tools. AutoEdit brings Claude into Premiere, so it can handle the boring setup and give you something to edit instead of an empty timeline.
Quick Answer
AutoEdit Creator Mode is a Premiere Pro AI editing plugin that helps two-host studio podcasts deal with manual speaker-by-speaker camera switching. Use Podcast Multicam Mode to get an editable first pass that follows the active speaker, then watch the cut and change anything you do not like. It gives you a rough draft; you still finish the edit.
Who should use this?
This is for two-host studio podcasts who are tired of manual speaker-by-speaker camera switching. The plugin helps you get an editable first pass that follows the active speaker without leaving Premiere Pro.
It is a starting point, not the final edit. You still choose the best takes, change the pacing, add B-roll, clean up the sound, color the footage, and make the creative calls.
Set up the timeline first
- Synchronize both camera tracks in Premiere Pro.
- Link the correct microphone audio to each speaker clip.
- Map each named speaker to the matching video track.
How to use Podcast Multicam Mode in Premiere Pro
1. Duplicate the sequence
Keep the raw assembly untouched so you can compare the new cut or bring a shot back.
2. Open Creator Mode
In Premiere Pro, open Window, choose Extensions, and select AutoEdit Creator Mode as shown in the tutorial.
3. Run Podcast Multicam Mode
Use it for manual speaker-by-speaker camera switching. Do one job first so you can see exactly what changed on the timeline.
4. Watch the cut
Check the takes, the sentence, the timing, and any linked clips. Put back anything the edit needs.
5. Finish the video
Now do the editor part: pacing, B-roll, graphics, music, sound, color, revisions, and export.
What should you check after it runs?
- Reaction shots worth keeping
- Interruptions and overlapping dialogue
- Camera cuts that land mid-blink or mid-gesture
Does AutoEdit support multicam podcasts?
Yes. Podcast Mode works with multicam podcast timelines, including projects with three cameras. Sync the clips first, put each speaker on the correct track, assign the speakers in the plugin, and check the camera changes after it builds the first cut.
What do you still have to edit?
AutoEdit does not pick every best take, nail every pause, finish the color, mix the sound, or handle client revisions for you. It does the repetitive setup so you can spend more time actually editing.
Watch the whole sequence before you export. The point is to get a useful rough cut on the timeline faster, not to skip the editor.
Try it on one real section
Follow the tutorial below, download Creator Mode, and run it on a duplicate of one real section from your video. If the first rough draft saves you time, use the same setup on the rest of the cut.
Tips
- Start with one minute of real footage.
- Keep the new cut on a clearly named duplicate sequence.
- Watch every important cut at normal speed.
Common mistakes
- Running every tool before checking the first cut.
- Assuming a transcript can judge the visual take for you.
- Exporting without watching the whole video.
