ScriptCut talks directly to
Resolve and Premiere

Send footage from Resolve or Premiere to ScriptCut. Pick the story in the transcript. The finished cut lands back in your project, linked to your media. Nothing to export, import or relink.

Start Free Trial Take a Product Tour

You picked the story in a transcript. Now you rebuild it by hand in your editing software, with timecode that drifts and media that will not link.

How it works

From footage to linked timeline in four steps

Start with your footage

Send a clip from Resolve or Premiere, or upload it in ScriptCut. ScriptCut transcribes it.

Pick the story

Select moments in the transcript yourself, or let your client pick through a link.

Arrange and group

Put the picks in order and group them into acts. Groups become named markers.

It lands in your editing software

The cut arrives in your open project, already linked to your media. Every cut sits on a whole frame at the source frame rate.

Frame exact

Your selection arrives cut to the frame

ScriptCut reads the source video's own frame rate, so you never choose one. 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94 and 60 all work, drop frame included. Everything lands in order, and groups arrive as named timeline markers.

Send to your editor

Your media is already linked in Resolve and Premiere

Install the ScriptCut panel once and it talks to your editing software for you.

The panel asks Resolve or Premiere where each clip lives on your machine, so the cut arrives already linked. No export, no import, no offline media.

Resolve needs DaVinci Resolve Studio on a Mac. Premiere Pro needs version 2025 or newer, on Mac or Windows. Final Cut Pro and Avid Media Composer work through the Export menu in Review.

Sends the cut straight into your open project

Several recordings

Footage at different frame rates joins into one timeline

With several recordings, the timeline cuts across every file, each at its own frame rate and timecode.

You get a notice when rates are mixed. Each file keeps its own timecode, so every cut lands on the right frame of the right file.

Why ScriptCut

Why editors pick ScriptCut for Resolve and Premiere

Both ways, one connection

Send footage from your editor to ScriptCut and the cut back. No files to export, import or hand over.

Opens linked, not offline

The panel asks your editor where each clip lives, so the timeline opens with picture. Resolve Studio on Mac, Premiere Pro 2025 or newer.

Built from picks, not retyped notes

The timeline comes from moments you or your client picked in the transcript. Nothing is rebuilt from a PDF.

Questions

How do I turn a transcript into a timeline in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve?

Install the ScriptCut panel once. Send a clip from your editor or upload it in ScriptCut, and pick your moments in the transcript. Send the cut back from Review and it opens in your project, linked to your media.

Which editing software does ScriptCut connect to?

DaVinci Resolve Studio and Premiere Pro, through the ScriptCut panel. Final Cut Pro and Avid Media Composer work through the Export menu in Review.

What frame rates does ScriptCut support?

It uses your source video's own frame rate, so you are never asked to choose one. 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94 and 60 work, including drop frame.

Do I have to relink my media?

No. The ScriptCut panel asks Resolve or Premiere where each clip lives on your machine, so the cut arrives linked. Pair the panel once and every cut after that opens with picture.

Do markers come across to Resolve?

Group names come across as named timeline markers. Resolve imports timeline markers only, so marker colors do not carry over.

Does the Resolve panel work on Windows?

Not yet. The Resolve panel needs DaVinci Resolve Studio on a Mac. The Premiere Pro panel needs Premiere Pro 2025 or newer, on Mac or Windows. In the meantime, the Export menu in Review still gets your cut into Resolve on Windows.

Can I combine footage shot at different frame rates?

Yes, when the project has several recordings. The timeline cuts across every file, each at its own frame rate and timecode, and shows a notice when rates are mixed.

Why did my timeline drift out of sync?

Usually words were deleted or retyped in Cleanup, which pulls the text away from the per-word timecode. In Cleanup, only fix spelling and split lines. To drop a word, use Remove Fillers, deselect it in Select, or delete a whole row.
