Brevidy is an AI-powered toolkit that lives directly inside Adobe Premiere Pro, combining animated captions, automatic clip generation from long-form content, active-speaker vertical reframing, and a stock media browser in a single panel. The plugin, an official Adobe video partner product, targets editors who deliver short-form social content and want to skip the export, upload, and re-import routine that most AI tools still require.

Anyone cutting social deliverables in Premiere Pro knows the friction points: captioning is tedious, reframing 16:9 timelines for 9:16 delivery eats hours of keyframing, and pulling clips out of a 60-minute podcast is grunt work. Adobe has been steadily addressing some of this natively, with AI caption translation in Premiere Pro 25.2 and further AI tools in version 25.6.1, but third-party developers are moving faster in the social-first niche. Brevidy is one of them, and its pitch is simple: keep the entire short-form pipeline inside the timeline you are already working in.

Captions with word-by-word animation and 700+ presets

The core of the toolkit is Brevidy Captions. You set in and out points on your sequence, hit transcribe, and the panel returns an editable transcript that is then applied back to your Premiere Pro timeline as styled, animated captions. According to the company, cloud transcription reaches around 95% accuracy, and more than 700 one-click presets cover the kinetic, word-by-word caption styles that currently dominate TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.

Beyond the presets, the transcript editor handles the corrections that automatic speech recognition inevitably requires. Lines can be split or merged, formatting rules for line length and character count can be applied globally, and a custom vocabulary function lets you teach the system branded terms and niche jargon so they are transcribed correctly from the start. Transcription can also be limited to specific sections of a sequence, generating new caption layers without overwriting existing ones. Brevidy states that transcription and translation support more than 99 languages, which matters for anyone localizing content for international audiences.

AutoCut turns podcasts into social clips

For long-form editors, AutoCut is the feature with the largest potential time savings. Pointed at a long-form sequence, the tool analyzes the content, identifies clip-worthy moments, and generates new, shorter sequences ready for captioning and reframing. It can also remove silences along the way. Brevidy positions it primarily for podcasts, interviews, and other dialogue-heavy material over roughly 20 minutes, which is exactly the content type where manually hunting for highlights hurts most.

The output is a regular Premiere Pro sequence, not a locked export, so every AI decision remains fully editable. That distinction is worth underlining: many competing clip generators work as standalone web apps that render finished videos, while Brevidy’s approach keeps the editor in charge of the final cut.

AutoCrop: active-speaker vertical reframing

AutoCrop, converts landscape timelines into vertical versions, with 1080×1920 as the default output. Instead of simply tracking motion, the system detects who is actively speaking and centers that person in the frame, which makes it particularly interesting for multi-speaker interviews and podcasts where Premiere’s native Auto Reframe tends to struggle. Three crop movement modes are available: Tracked follows the speaker’s head for a dynamic feel, Dynamic keeps the subject centered while allowing natural motion, and Static locks the framing for consistency.

Processing happens on Brevidy’s own servers, and the company quotes roughly real-time speeds, so a 45-second clip takes about 45 seconds. Crucially for professional work, AutoCrop writes standard keyframes onto the clips, so every reframe can be reviewed and fine-tuned in the Effect Controls panel afterward. The intended pipeline chains the tools together: AutoCut extracts the moments, AutoCrop reframes them vertically, and Captions finishes the clip, all without leaving Premiere Pro.

Stock media and AI suggestions inside the panel

Rounding out the toolkit, the Media tool brings a stock browser into Premiere Pro, with images, video, GIFs, and emojis from providers such as Pexels, Unsplash, Pixabay, and Giphy importing directly into the sequence. An AI layer analyzes your transcript and suggests matching b-roll or emojis, and the imported assets can be animated with Brevidy’s motion presets. For fast-turnaround social work, that removes another round trip to the browser.

For teams, Brevidy offers team plans that allow sharing caption presets across members, so a brand’s caption look stays consistent regardless of who is cutting. There is also a referral program that rewards users with a free month of Brevidy for each friend they bring on board.

Pricing and how to try it

New users get one free captioning sequence of up to 10 minutes plus a 7-day trial, with no credit card required. The Captioner plan is priced at $14.99 per month billed yearly, or $17.99 billed monthly, and includes captioning minutes, while the Producer tier adds unlimited captions plus video workflow minutes for AutoCut and AutoCrop; AutoCrop itself is currently free for one month for all users during its beta. CineD readers can additionally get 20% off when signing up through this link. More details can be found on the Brevidy website.
