01 / What it does

CV Cut extends Adobe Premiere Pro with tools for rough cuts, captions and motion graphics. The desktop app analyses sequences, previews proposed changes and transfers selected results to the timeline. I migrated the earlier Electron companion to a dedicated Tauri app with a Rust core and rebuilt its editing workflows.

Inside the product

The details make the difference.

See the pauses before cutting them

Local voice activity detection and audio analysis mark silence in a zoomable waveform. Controls adjust the cut plan before it is applied.

Captions with a visual identity

Preview word highlights, groups, fonts and placement against the original audio. The preview and transparent export use the same renderer.

Motion driven by the transcript

Transcript passages become positioned icons and motion elements. Adjust their timing, lead-in and tail to match the spoken moment.

Connected to the Premiere timeline

A dedicated bridge reads the sequence and playhead. Supported editing actions check sequence state and provide an undo path.

How it comes together

  1. 01Connect a sequence
  2. 02Analyse the media
  3. 03Review the preview
  4. 04Update the timeline

Repetitive editing tasks become a guided workflow: analyse, review and apply deliberately. Creative decisions stay with the editor.

The Windows app has shipped. Some timeline tools remain in beta; complete Premiere acceptance and a macOS release are separate milestones.

02 / What I built

  1. 01A native desktop app with a direct Premiere connection, sequence transfer and task-focused editing tools.
  2. 02Silence detection, waveform previews, J/L cuts, zooms and reviewable timeline actions with undo.
  3. 03Word-based captions and motion graphics sharing the same renderer for previews and transparent video exports.
