Break very long event projects into logical sections before building the final recap. Organize media by time or scene, use proxies for demanding codecs, test the workflow on one section, and combine approved selects into the master edit. This is safer than processing an unstructured media dump.

Break very long event projects into logical sections before building the final recap. Organize media by time or scene, use proxies for demanding codecs, test the workflow on one section, and combine approved selects into the master edit. This is safer than processing an unstructured media dump. The practical goal is to shorten the distance between imported footage and a sequence you can evaluate with your own eyes and ears.
This guide is based on questions left by editors on the ELEVEN PERCENT YouTube channel. Test a short representative section, inspect every generated decision, and expand only after the sequence behaves as expected.
The ELEVEN PERCENT help center includes installation, usage, BPM, B-roll, automatic cutting, VFX, interview, documentary, and troubleshooting instructions.

Yes. Duplicate and clearly label the working sequence before any automated pass. A backup makes A/B comparison easy and gives you a clean recovery point if media, timing, or settings need to be changed.
No. AutoEdit accelerates repetitive preparation and first-pass assembly. The editor remains responsible for story, taste, continuity, client requirements, licensing, color, sound, and final quality control.

AutoEdit Event Recap Mode creates a faster starting point for highlight-led recap videos in Premiere Pro. It is best suited to events, weddings, concerts, nightlife, and branded activations where the editor needs to find energy, variety, and a clear beginning-to-end arc.

Choose Music Video Mode when the song and performance drive the edit. Choose Event Recap Mode when the story is the experience of a real event. If you regularly deliver both, the bundle avoids forcing one workflow onto footage it was not designed to organize.

For long 4K or 8K projects, create and attach proxies before the automated edit. Proxies reduce decoding load while preserving links to the original media for final export. Test a representative sequence first so storage, frame rate, and audio behavior are predictable.
