Rushly and Derush.io are two Premiere plugins built for text-based cleanup. Derush.io excels at transcription and text-driven editing, with a very handy 'Cmd+F for video' search on large volumes of interviews. Rushly covers the same cleanup but adds viral Smart Clips and an AI Cleanup that picks the best take by reading the meaning. Derush.io doesn't document multicam; Rushly has had it since September 2026. Derush.io is still an excellent pick if your need centers on transcription and text-based editing, especially for interviews or documentaries.

Why editors choose Rushly after Derush.io.
The best take, not just the last one.
Derush.io centers on text-based cleanup. Rushly goes further on shoots with multiple takes: it detects bad takes and keeps the best one by analyzing completeness and fluency, not shooting order.
Viral clips on top of cleanup.
Rushly scores the strong moments of a long video, adds a hook and assembles clips for Reels and Shorts. It's one more string to your bow, outside Derush's scope.
Multicam included.
Rushly has done podcast Multicam since September 2026, 100% local and with no credits used (one mic per person), then cleans up and transcribes the edited episode. Derush.io doesn't document multicam.
Same ground, different scope.
Derush.io is probably Rushly's closest competitor: a French-made Premiere Pro plugin built for text-based cleanup. You transcribe your footage, you edit by deleting passages in the transcript, and the timeline follows. Its 'Cmd+F for video' search is precious when you have hours of interviews to dig through.
Where the two diverge is scope. Derush.io focuses on transcription and text-based editing. Rushly covers that same cleanup, but adds viral Smart Clips and a cleanup that doesn't stop at removing silences: it picks the best take by reading the meaning.
On processing, Derush.io is a cloud solution (server-side transcription, web editor, cloud backup on higher plans). Rushly stays in Premiere and only sends the audio track, with the video staying local.
When Derush.io is still the right pick
Pick Derush.io if your need revolves around transcription and text-based editing, especially on large volumes of interviews or documentary footage: its 'Cmd+F for video' search and its collaborative web editor are precious for team work. It's a mature, well-established French product.
