Punch-ins
A punch-in is a cut in disguise. It says "listen to this part" without changing the shot, which is why it rescues a single-camera talking head and why putting one every eight seconds does nothing at all.
Included with Um Out Plus, $7 a month or $70 a year.
The move is thirty seconds of work. Deciding where it goes is the job.
Um Out reads the transcript and looks for the places the delivery changes: the answer after a question, the number in a list, the turn from setup to point. Those are where a slight push in reads as emphasis rather than as movement.
The scale is small on purpose. A punch-in a viewer notices has failed at the only job it has.
Each beat lands as ordinary Motion keyframes on the clip. Drag them, retime them, change the amount, or delete one, exactly as you would with a punch-in you set yourself.
Nothing is baked, nothing is an effect you cannot open, and removing Um Out from the machine leaves every one of them working. That matters if you hand the project to a collaborator or come back to it in a year.
Um Out Plus, at $7 a month or $70 a year, alongside smart zooms, best take and the shorts builder. Um Out Local covers the silence, filler and caption tools with your own AI key.
Yes, before it runs, and afterwards by editing the keyframes like any others.
No. Restraint is the point: too many punch-ins read as a nervous camera operator rather than as emphasis.
The keyframes are ordinary Premiere keyframes, so every punch-in already in a project keeps working, even with Um Out uninstalled. Cancelling Plus stops you adding new ones, and changes nothing in the projects you finished.
Plus is $7 a month with no contract, and every keyframe it writes stays in your project for good.
