Getting started with BestSubtitle for Premiere Pro

From signup to your first auto-cut timeline in about five minutes.

BestSubtitle is an Adobe Premiere Pro extension that cuts silences and adds word-level subtitles inside your timeline. Here is the fastest path from a fresh account to your first tightened cut.

1. Create an account at /signup. Your 3 free days start automatically, with no card and no payment details ($5/mo afterwards, only if you decide to keep it), and you land straight on the install page.

2. Download: Windows gets one .zip (the signed extension, a ZXP Installer shortcut and a PDF guide); macOS (Apple Silicon) gets a .dmg.

3. Windows: extract the .zip, install the free aescripts ZXP Installer if you don't have it, then drag BestSubtitle.zxp onto it with Premiere closed. macOS: open the .dmg; if macOS warns about an unidentified developer, right-click the installer and choose Open.

4. In Premiere Pro, open Window → Extensions → BestSubtitle. Click "Connect account": your browser opens, you sign in, and the panel activates. No license keys. The install page shows a green tick as soon as the panel is connected.

5. The first transcription downloads a speech model once (a few hundred MB); after that everything runs locally and offline-friendly.

That's it. Mark In and Out on a talky section of your timeline and hit Analyze to see the silence cuts it proposes.
