Finishing-ready handoff,
straight from Premiere Pro.
CutBridge automates the handoff of a finished edit to the color, online, and sound teams, turning a slow, manual chore into a few predictable steps.
Currently in closed beta · Public waitlist open
Handoff is where editorial time quietly disappears.
When a cut is locked, the project still isn't ready for anyone downstream. Color, online, and sound each need it rebuilt their way — the right sequences, the right exports, the right names, the right folders. So someone sits down and does it by hand: duplicating timelines, stripping effects, renaming, exporting FCP XML and AAF, rendering reference videos.
It is repetitive, easy to get wrong, and the mistakes surface downstream, after the project has already left editorial. CutBridge does this preparation in a structured, repeatable way instead.
From locked cut to finishing-ready, in three steps.
CutBridge runs inside Premiere Pro. It reads your project, prepares what each downstream department needs, and packages the result.
Run a timeline check
CutBridge analyzes your project, identifies the role of each sequence, and runs preflight checks — surfacing problems while they are still cheap to fix, before anything leaves editorial.
Prepare the timelines
It generates derivative sequences for each downstream team — grade, online, and sound — built to the form each one expects and ready to export. No manual duplicating or renaming.
Export and package
It packages the deliverables into a clean, predictable folder structure — interchange files and burn-in references together, with a manifest of exactly what is inside.
The package downstream teams expect.
Interchange files
FCP XML, AAF, and EDL — the formats that carry a timeline cleanly into DaVinci Resolve, Pro Tools, and other finishing tools.
Burn-in references
Reference videos with timecode and shot information, so grade, online, and sound are all working from the same cut.
Structured delivery
A predictable folder layout and a written manifest. Nothing arrives loose, mislabeled, or open to guesswork.
A guided workflow, not a wall of buttons.
CutBridge includes a built-in assistant that walks you through each stage of the handoff — what a given department needs, why a check failed, what to send and what to leave out. It stays in the Premiere Pro panel, so you are never breaking focus to look something up.
Questions about CutBridge.
What is CutBridge?
CutBridge is an Adobe Premiere Pro plugin that automates the handoff of a finished edit to post-production departments — color grading, online/conform, and audio post.
Who is it for?
It is built for senior freelance editors and assistant editors, small post-production houses, and online/conform specialists — people who need reliable, finishing-ready exports.
Does it support macOS and Windows?
CutBridge will support both macOS and Windows at release.
How does the assistant work?
The built-in assistant guides you through each step of the workflow and explains what each downstream team needs, directly inside the Premiere Pro panel.
What about data privacy?
Your projects and exports stay local. No footage or media is uploaded to the cloud.
How much will CutBridge cost?
Final pricing will be announced after the beta. The aim is a transparent, flexible set of plans — joining the waitlist is free and carries no commitment.
