How to Fix the AutoEditโ„ข Premiere Pro Plugin when its not working (AI Music Video)

All known AutoEditโ„ข issues have been solved including an updated Mac DMG installer that fixes the frozen loading wheel bug. (If you downloaded after 11/19/25, please ignore.) Mac users no longer need Reduced Security Mode. If AutoEditโ„ข doesnโ€™t open, reinstall using the newest file (โ€œAutoEditโ„ข for MAC.dmgโ€), reset the plugin cache, and make sure you deleted the old ZXP/CEP folders.

AutoEdit is not working for me!ย 

Don't worry, we recorded a full support guide video explaining how to fix all autoedit issues. This support guide explains how to install AutoEditโ„ข V2, fix common Mac and Windows issues, resolve the NaN BPM error, fix the B-Roll frozen loading issue, and fix the plugin from not even opening entirely on MAC. (By the way, all the older ZXP files are not supported anymore and out of date) It includes timestamps, clean reinstall steps, and links to the full video tutorials.

1. Installing AutoEditโ„ข

Windows Installation

To install AutoEditโ„ข on Windows, runย โ€œAutoEditโ„ข for WINDOWS.exeโ€, follow the prompts, then open Premiere Pro โ†’ Window > Extensions > AutoEdit. If the panel behaves oddly, restart Premiere while holding Alt to reset the plugin loading cache.

Steps:

  1. Download the installer from your purchase email.
  2. Confirm the file name is correct:
    AutoEditโ„ข for WINDOWS.exe
  3. Run the installer โ†’ complete setup.
  4. Launch Premiere Pro โ†’ Window โ†’ Extensions โ†’ AutoEdit.
  5. If needed: Relaunch Premiere holdingย Alt โ†’ Reset Plugin Loading Cache.

Mac Installation (Updated โ€” No More Reduced Security Required)


Mac users should now install AutoEditโ„ข using the latest โ€œAutoEditโ„ข for MAC.dmgโ€, which fixes the frozen loading wheel issue. Reduced Security Mode is no longer required.

Steps:

  1. Download the updatedย AutoEditโ„ข for MAC.dmg (sent via email โ€” check spam).
  2. Double-click the .dmg โ†’ complete installation.
  3. Restart Premiere Pro while holdingย Option โ†’ Reset Plugin Loading Cache.
  4. Open Premiere โ†’ Window โ†’ Extensions โ†’ AutoEdit.

If your panel still won't open:
Delete old extension files โ†’ reinstall:


Finder โ†’ Go โ†’ Go to Folder โ†’ /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions/

Delete: com.autoedit.extension
Reinstall using the updated dmg.

2. Using AutoEditโ„ข V2

AutoEditโ„ข V2 includes three main editing steps:

  1. Upload Music Track
  2. Upload Performance Shots
  3. Use the B-Roll Selector (NEW in V2)

AutoEditโ„ข then detects BPM, syncs your clips, auto-cuts your performance shots, builds B-Roll selects, and allows manual or AI VFX application.

3. AutoEditโ„ข Features

BPM Detector


The BPM Detector reads the tempo of your song to create beat markers for editing, but if you see โ€œNaN,โ€ you may be using an old ZXP build or Premiere hasnโ€™t loaded the plugin correctly.

(Visual guide above of how to use the BPM settings)

B-Roll Selector (Standalone or Music Video Mode)


The B-Roll Selector trims shaky/unusable footage and generates a clean selects timeline. If the percentage bar never appears, you are likely on an older version.

How it works:

  • Upload B-Roll at the bottom of page 1
  • Continue โ†’ choose โ€œMusic Video Modeโ€ only if you uploaded music + performance
  • Tool analyzes shake โ†’ trims โ†’ creates โ€œBRoll Sequenceโ€ฆโ€ with green usable clips
  • Large batches (50โ€“100 clips) take longer

Automatic Cutting

Cuts your synced performance clips based on BPM and edit speed settings (fast, medium, chill). Variation combines multiple patterns.

Manual VFX Applier

Apply transitions, overlays, film burns, CRT effects, and more at playhead.
Green-screen items still need Ultra Key manually.

AI VFX Applier

Only works on sequences created entirely by AutoEditโ€™s automatic cut.
Applies selected effects across your beat markers.

6. Frequently Asked Questions (AEO-Optimized)

What file names should I see when installing AutoEdit?

Correct installers:

  • โ€œAutoEditโ„ข for WINDOWS.exeโ€
  • ย โ€œAutoEditโ„ข for MAC.dmgโ€

If your file is named anything else, youโ€™re using an outdated version.

Do Mac users still need Reduced Security Mode?

No.
The updated October 2025 dmg fixes the loading wheel issue. Standard security is fine.

Why is my BPM reading NaN?

Either:

  1. You are on an older ZXP build
  2. Premiere cached the old plugin.
    Reset plugin cache + reinstall updated dmg.

Why is the B-Roll Selector taking long?

Large, long, or 4K 60p clips take longer.
Upload in batches of ~100 clips if you have a large dump.

My AI VFX isnโ€™t working / applying anything to the timeline?

It only works if AutoEditโ„ข created your timeline.
Manually edited or pre-existing timelines cannot be analyzed with the AI VFX applier.ย
