Dailies vs Adobe Premiere ProThe Premiere Pro alternative for people who want shorts from their calls and do not edit
Adobe Premiere Pro, which Adobe’s pages now call Premiere, is professional video editing software for the desktop. It gives an editor full manual control of the cut, the framing and the look, with AI helpers such as text-based editing and Auto Reframe. Dailies sits at the other end: it is a Chrome extension that records the call you hold on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom and delivers up to eight captioned vertical shorts a few minutes later, with nothing to edit. One is a craft tool; the other hands you a result.

What Adobe Premiere Pro does
Adobe Premiere Pro is professional desktop video editing software; Adobe’s pages now call it Premiere. It works on the media an editor imports into a project. With text-based editing, the editor cuts a sequence from its transcript, in which speakers are labelled; Premiere detects pauses in speech, and fillers and pauses can be deleted in bulk from the transcript. Speech to Text supports 18 languages, French included, and creates captions that take styles (font, colour, alignment) or show a single word at a time. Auto Reframe Sequence duplicates a sequence in another aspect ratio and follows the action, with a slower motion preset meant for talking-head interviews. Enhance Speech, Generative Extend, Object Mask and a Media Intelligence search are among its other tools. Its interface is available in French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Italian and Portuguese.
Where Dailies and Adobe Premiere Pro differ
Every cut is yours, or none is
In Premiere, nothing is decided for you: the editor finds the passages, cuts them by hand or in the transcript, reframes the sequence and builds the captions. We found no automatic picking of passages on the pages we read. That control is what a professional tool is for, and it takes time and skill. Dailies makes those decisions itself: it picks up to eight passages per call, cuts silences, filler words and false starts, reframes on whoever speaks and burns in the captions.
The footage has to exist first
Premiere edits what is imported into a project: it records no call. A conversation on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom would be recorded with something else, exported, then imported. Dailies starts earlier: from Chrome it records the call tab, your microphone and your webcam, the webcam on a track of its own, and the shorts follow a few minutes after the call. No bot joins the call.
Software to learn, or a result that arrives
Premiere is desktop software whose tools an editor learns and combines: Auto Reframe, Speech to Text, caption styles, pause detection. Each does one step, when the editor asks for it. Dailies has no timeline and no project: you hold your call, and each short arrives reframed, captioned in one of fifteen styles, with a line above it, the question it answers.
What Premiere Pro does that Dailies does not
Premiere edits any media imported into a project, and leaves every decision about the cut, the framing and the look to the editor, with tools such as Enhance Speech, Generative Extend and Object Mask. Dailies does none of that. It does not edit a video you upload: it makes shorts from the calls it records, and you download each one in Full HD to post it yourself.
Questions people ask
Can Premiere Pro make shorts automatically?
Not by itself, from what its pages describe. Premiere gives the editor a tool for each step: text-based editing to cut from the transcript, Auto Reframe to change the aspect ratio and follow the action, Speech to Text for captions. We found no automatic picking of passages on the pages we read. Dailies picks up to eight passages per call and delivers them cut, reframed and captioned.
Can Premiere Pro record a Zoom, Google Meet or Teams call?
No: it edits the media imported into a project, and the pages we read describe no capture feature. The call has to be recorded elsewhere, then imported. Dailies records it itself, from a Chrome extension: the call tab, your microphone and your webcam.
Does Premiere Pro remove filler words and pauses?
Yes, when the editor asks for it. In text-based editing, Premiere detects pauses in speech, and fillers and pauses can be deleted in bulk from the transcript. Dailies cuts silences, filler words and false starts out of every short without being asked.
Does Premiere Pro transcribe French?
Yes. Its Speech to Text supports 18 languages, French among them, and its interface is available in French. Dailies handles calls in French, in English and in both mixed.
Does Dailies replace Premiere Pro?
No. Dailies is not editing software and does not edit a video you upload: it only makes shorts from the calls it records in Chrome. For an edit you want to control from the first cut to the last, Premiere is the kind of tool an editor uses. For shorts out of your client calls with no editing, that is what Dailies does.
Your next call already holds your next shorts.
Add Dailies to Chrome, record the call you were going to have anyway, and watch its shorts a few minutes after you hang up.
