AutoCut is the broadest plugin: more than ten tools, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, B-roll and chapters included, and a 14-day trial with no credit card. Rushly is narrower: AI Cleanup (a rough cut that reads the meaning of what you say), Smart Clips, Captions, Zooms, Audio and Multicam, in Premiere Pro only. Both place automatic zooms, and AutoCut's AutoZoom offers more triggers and styles. If you want the biggest toolset or you edit in DaVinci, go with AutoCut. If your bottleneck is the rough cut of talking footage, test Rushly on your own footage. It was built and tuned on French speech first and also understands English, Spanish and Portuguese.
- AutoCut: more than ten tools, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, 14-day trial with no card, available in 8 languages, including French.
- Rushly: AI Cleanup, Smart Clips, Captions, Zooms, Audio, Multicam, Premiere Pro only. Both have automatic zooms; AutoCut's AutoZoom has more triggers and styles.
- Retakes: AutoCut has a dedicated tool (AutoCut Repeat), and it does the job.
- Rushly's difference: AI Cleanup, a meaning-based rough cut (ideas repeated in other words, a coherence check), reviewed segment by segment.
AutoCut at a glance
AutoCut is a plugin for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, made by a French team. It bundles more than ten tools: animated captions, silence removal, podcast editing and angle switching, automatic zoom, viral clips, B-roll, retakes (AutoCut Repeat), a profanity filter, chapters and resizing. It's available in 8 languages, including French. It's a mature product, and the obvious choice when you want the widest toolset in a single subscription.
Rushly at a glance
Rushly focuses on six tools: AI Cleanup (silences, hesitations, retakes, reviewed before anything is applied), Smart Clips (the strongest moments of a long video, as 9:16 sequences), Captions (placed in your sequence as editable Premiere graphics, with Poster, Accent and Condensed presets, your own font and TikTok, Reels and Shorts safe zones), Zooms (placed by rules on the strong words of your voice, removed in one click), Audio (your voices mixed in one gesture, with an AI voice cleanup) and podcast Multicam, which runs 100% locally and uses no credits. It only runs in Premiere Pro. It was built and tuned on French speech first, and it also understands English, Spanish and Portuguese. Only the audio track goes to the servers: your video stays on your machine.
Retakes: AutoCut Repeat exists, and it does the job
Let's be precise, because this is where the comparison is decided. AutoCut Repeat detects repeated takes and helps you pick the best version. If your need is just “I said the same sentence three times”, AutoCut covers it.
What Rushly adds is a rough cut based on meaning. A language model reads the text to find an idea said several times, including when it's rephrased in different words, and is instructed to keep the most complete take. A second pass flags “to review” the passages whose meaning a cut may have broken. And you go through every cut, segment by segment, before the sequence is built.
As far as we know, AutoCut's site doesn't present this detection of rephrased ideas or this coherence check (checked on October 7, 2026). That's the difference, and that's all: it doesn't mean AutoCut does its job badly, it means the two tools are not after the same thing.

Compare them in an hour, on your own footage
The only test that counts: the same footage, both tools.
- 1Pick representative footage
Ten to fifteen minutes of talking head or podcast, with hesitations, pauses and at least one sentence said twice.
- 2Run each tool
AutoCut on its 14-day trial, Rushly on its Free plan. Note how long each one takes to analyze.
- 3Count the errors
Wrong cuts, missed hesitations, wrong take kept, duplicates left in. Does it catch an idea said again in different words?
- 4Time the review
How long does it take to fix the result and get to a clean edit? That's the number that decides.
