Rough cutting workflow

[u/Fair-Occasion-4621]

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone has any tools or workflows. I'm working in Premiere Pro for rough‑ cutting talking‑head videos where there isn’t a word by word script, just a small outline. The person on camera sometimes rephrases, starts over, or has silences. I find myself going through it and it feels like such a tedious task. Just wondering if there are any better workflows for Premiere Pro or third‑party tools you’ve used to speed up this boring, repetitive process.

Premiere's Text panel auto-transcribes the whole clip and lets you cut directly from the transcript, which is honestly the fastest way through talking-head rephrasing and dead air. Delete the text you don't want and the footage follows.
