Premiere Basics x AutoEdit: Tymon Reviews Our Free Premiere Pro AI Plugin

When I first started learning Adobe Premiere Pro, one of my favorite YouTube channels was Cinecom. I remember coming home after middle school, sometimes before even touching my homework, opening a Premiere Pro tutorial and trying to recreate whatever effect they were teaching. I'd film my own footage and then spend hours experimenting with it.

Jordy, Yannick, Tymon and the Cinecom team were a huge inspiration for me. Watching their tutorials is part of what made me want to teach video editing myself. I eventually started my own channel, Eleven Percent, focusing on Premiere Pro tutorials, especially the rap and hip-hop music video effects I was into.

That's why this collaboration is particularly exciting. We teamed up with Tymon from Premiere Basics, who many editors also know from Cinecom, for a new video where he tries AutoEdit, our AI-assisted editing plugin for Premiere Pro.

It's a full walkthrough of the free editing tools, motion graphics, sound effects, silence cutter and the Claude-powered Creator Mode workflow. Tymon also shares what he likes and what he'd want improved.

What Tymon tested inside AutoEdit

The video starts with the free-forever tools inside AutoEdit Creator Mode. Tymon explores the motion graphics library and applies a MOGRT icon template directly to his Premiere Pro timeline. He then customizes its icons, scale and appearance in Premiere's Properties panel.

He also looks at preset overlays and quick intro effects, plus the built-in library of sound effects. Rather than just showing a grid of presets, he shares the templates he actually likes using. One thing he points out is that a few template previews don't display properly, which is useful feedback for us as we continue improving the plugin.

Claude AI rough cuts in Premiere Pro

Next, Tymon tests the paid Claude Creator Mode feature on footage from one of his own tutorials. He sets the edit range to his full Premiere Pro sequence, selects the tutorial content template, chooses faster pacing and asks Claude to produce a rough cut.

He shows how to review the suggested cuts before applying them, keep or reject individual edits, see the transcript-based decisions and ask follow-up questions through the built-in AI chat. In his demonstration, the rough-cut process took about two minutes, though that is one example rather than a benchmark for every computer or video.

He also compares the result with his own manually edited version. The initial AI timeline was longer because it still contained pauses. After using AutoEdit's free silence cutter, he brings the resulting timeline down to about 7 minutes and 12 seconds, compared with 7 minutes and 16 seconds for his manual version. The numbers are specific to his test, and an equal runtime doesn't guarantee identical creative cuts.

Free silence cutter, sound effects, clipboard image pasting and auto reframe

One of the main points in this video is that you don't have to subscribe to use the free tools. Tymon demonstrates the silence cutter by tightening pauses in his talking-head recording, with adjustable silence settings.

He also shows the sound-effects library, where creators can find and organize audio assets, and the Paste Image feature, which lets him take an image from the clipboard and add it to his Premiere Pro project at the playhead.

Finally, he uses Auto Reframe to change a video's aspect ratio and keep the subject centered. As Tymon correctly explains, this feature uses Premiere Pro's existing Auto Reframe effect; AutoEdit provides a convenient interface to access it.

Is AutoEdit free?

AutoEdit's free tools include the silence cutter, image pasting, motion graphics and other creator utilities demonstrated in this review. Claude-powered transcript editing and rough-cut generation require a paid plan or credits. Check the current AutoEdit site for the latest availability and plan details.

Why this collaboration means a lot to us

Before I was making plugins, I was just a kid watching Cinecom videos, learning new Premiere Pro effects and trying them with my own camera footage. Those tutorials helped me start sharing my own music video editing lessons with other creators.

Years later, seeing Tymon actually use something our team built inside his own Premiere Pro workflow is pretty surreal. Huge thanks to Tymon for taking the time to test AutoEdit, explain the tools and share feedback with his audience.

We're still developing AutoEdit, and feedback from editors is a major part of what we work on next. If you try it, let us know what works for you and what you'd like to see improved.
