How to Connect Premiere Pro to Claude Code

Connect Claude Code to Premiere Pro, then cut silence and retakes, add zooms and animated graphics, mix audio, audit the timeline, and find Shorts by asking.

Share this video

One MCP connection lets Claude Code inspect and edit an open Premiere Pro sequence. The companion guide covers the setup and the exact kinds of requests shown in the video.

Connect the tools

Install Node and FFmpeg, add the Premiere Pro MCP, then keep the included bridge panel open in an active sequence.

Clean the edit

Ask Claude to identify silence and repeated takes, show their timestamps, and wait for approval before cutting.

Finish and inspect

Add zooms, animated graphics, dialogue ducking, beat-matched B-roll, noise reduction, and final export checks.
