Turn reviewer comments into a first revision pass inside Premiere Pro

What we are making

A first revision pass that you did not have to type out. The in-editor assistant reads every reviewer comment on the current file, groups them into a short list of concrete edits with timecodes, and waits for your go-ahead before touching the timeline. You stay the editor; the assistant does the bookkeeping.

This is the workflow described at the end of How to Use AI Inside Premiere Pro Without Leaving Your Timeline, turned into a prompt you can paste.

Three steps

Step 1. Sync the comments

Open the project in the YouViCo For Editor panel and make sure the latest review round is synced. Each timestamped comment should appear as a marker on the sequence. If a reviewer left a drawing, the marker carries the frame reference.

Step 2. Let the panel load context

Before you ask anything, allow the panel to pull the transcript and the workspace brief. Without the transcript the assistant can only reason about timecodes; with it, a note like “the intro drags” becomes a specific range.

Step 3. Paste the prompt and review the list

Paste the prompt below into the panel chat. The assistant answers with a numbered edit list. Approve the items you agree with, and it applies them one at a time, marking each comment resolved as it goes.

FIRST REVISION PASS

You are assisting the editor of the currently open Premiere Pro sequence.
Inputs available to you: the synced reviewer comments (@comments), the
auto-generated transcript (@transcript), and the workspace brief (@brief).

1. READ EVERYTHING FIRST. Go through every reviewer comment on this file
   before proposing anything. Do not start editing.

2. GROUP THE NOTES. Merge comments that ask for the same change. Keep the
   reviewer names attached so I know who asked. Flag any two comments that
   contradict each other instead of picking one.

3. PROPOSE, DO NOT APPLY. Return a numbered list. For each item give:
   - the timecode range (use the transcript to resolve vague references)
   - the edit in one line, as an instruction ("ripple delete 00:12–00:17",
     "lower BGM by 3 dB from 01:04 to 01:20")
   - which comment(s) it resolves
   - a risk note if the change affects sync, music beats, or the runtime target
     in the brief

4. ORDER BY SAFETY. Put trims and level changes first. Put anything that
   changes structure or needs new footage last, marked "needs a human."

5. WAIT. Apply an item only after I reply with its number. After applying,
   report what changed in one line and mark the linked comment resolved.

Do not add creative suggestions that no reviewer asked for. Do not change
anything outside the ranges in the list. If a comment cannot be resolved with
the available footage, say so and skip it.

Tips before you run it

• One round at a time. If two review rounds are open, the assistant will try to reconcile both. Resolve or archive the older round first.
• Read the risk notes. Trims near music cues are where automated edits go wrong. The prompt asks for a flag; honor it.
• Keep the brief current. The runtime target and audience in the brief are what the assistant uses to decide whether a trim is safe.
• It runs on your plan. The panel uses the AI subscription you signed in with, so a long comment list costs the same as a long chat.
• Save a version first. Duplicate the sequence before approving anything, then you can compare the pass against the original.

Frequently asked questions

Does it apply edits without asking?

No. The prompt is explicit: propose first, apply only the items you approve by number. If you want a fully automatic pass, remove step 5, but we do not recommend it on client work.

What if reviewers disagree?

The prompt asks the assistant to flag contradictions rather than choose. You decide, then reply with the number of the item to apply.

Can I use this with DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut?

Not yet. YouViCo For Editor currently runs inside Premiere Pro.
