Premiere Pro tools
Two tools I built to speed up repetitive edits in Adobe Premiere Pro.
My role
Designer and developer
The idea
Podcast edits involve a lot of repeat work: finding silence on individual tracks and switching cameras when another person starts talking.
What I did
I built two tools that work from a Premiere XML export. Silence Lifter removes silent sections from audio tracks without shifting clips or touching the video. Angle Switcher uses the speakers’ audio to assemble a first pass of camera cuts while keeping picture and sound in sync.
Result
I used Silence Lifter on a B Excellent episode. I’ve tested Angle Switcher with sample audio and verified that its cuts stay in sync.
