We sat down with Limitlessfuel, a high-energy video editor editing gaming clips, to talk about how he has transformed his post-production process. Like many creators, Limitlessfuel was spending countless hours on the tedious, mechanical side of editing—until he discovered FireCut, the AI-powered editing assistant. He loved the tool so much that he bought a lifetime plan, so we can tell that he doesn’t plan on leaving it anytime soon!

Here is what he had to say about cutting silences, perfecting captions, and reclaiming his creative time.

What kind of video content do you create, and how much raw footage do you typically start with for a finished video?

"I create entertainment content primarily focused on the game Fortnite. My process involves taking a full raw session of footage—which can be quite long—condensing it down to the best moments, and then turning that into a polished clip to show the audience."

Before FireCut, what was the absolute biggest time sink in your editing process? How much time did it take to create a typical rough cut?

"The absolute biggest time sink was manually adding captions in Premiere Pro. It was a massive manual effort. Now, with FireCut, it’s done instantly. I still have the option to manually tweak it if required, but the initial, heavy lifting is gone."

Describe the moment you first realized your old editing process was unsustainable or too slow.

"It was the moment I saw FireCut remove all the silences from a video within literally seconds. Before that, I had been doing it all manually, frame by frame. Seeing an entire section of dead air vanish almost instantly was the moment I realized I didn't need to do that work myself anymore."

FireCut is famous for cutting silences. Can you put a number on it—how many hours of manual trimming do you save each month? Does the AI's pacing ever feel too fast, or is it usually spot-on?

"I estimate I save 40+ hours a month just from having the option to use AI on these tasks. The pacing is spot on the majority of the time, especially since you can tweak exactly how much silence you want removed.

That said, for my short-form content, I still manually adjust the silencing myself to ensure my unique, high-energy pacing and personal touch is there. For my own work, I feel the AI isn't always 100% precise, so if you need that manual precision, you might still do it yourself—but the tool still gives you a massive head start."

How has FireCut's automatic captioning changed your workflow? Do you still have to tweak them much after the AI runs?

"For the captions, I often still have to tweak them. Sometimes, the caption will carry on when I’ve stopped talking, or it might start a bit too early. I see it as a great draft.”

How has FireCut changed your job? Are you spending less time on "cutting" and more time on "creativity" (color grading, sound design, B-roll)?

"FireCut has saved me a significant amount of time. Right now, I mainly focus on using its captions and titles feature and still do the silencing myself. But the plan is to fully integrate the silence-cutting feature in the longer run to save even more time. Even focusing on just the captioning, the shift is clear: I'm able to devote more attention to the creative polish."

What is the one small, unexpected thing FireCut does that you now couldn't live without?

"It's the fact that FireCut allows you to add captions for a lifetime with no additional purchase (depending on your plan). Having unlimited uses for caption production in your videos is a huge benefit and a feature I now rely on completely."

For someone hesitant about using AI in their professional workflow, what is your strongest argument for why they should try FireCut?

"My strongest argument is that it should be viewed as a plugin on Premiere Pro, not a replacement. It’s a condensed, incredibly simple user interface that allows you to instantly add significant value to your content. It’s not complicated at all; it's a tool that just automates the boring, time-consuming steps. It lets you get back to what you're actually good at: creating."
