Why we like it

LiteCut earns its place in the Adobe Exchange library by consolidating cache, proxy, and waveform actions into one panel while leaving original media and project files untouched.

What is LiteCut?

LiteCut is a workflow panel from Key-Farmer that brings common performance-related actions into a single panel for Adobe Premiere Pro. Rather than moving through separate menus, editors can clean safe cache files, manage project proxies, control import waveform behavior, and open quick guidance for playback, GPU, and memory settings from one place.

The panel includes a "Make It Lighter" preparation step that checks selected options and helps reduce unnecessary background work before editing begins. Media Cache Tools offer Light Clean for safe cleanup, Deep Clean for cache index cleanup, and direct access to the cache folder. Proxy Tools create proxies for selected project panel clips and remove LiteCut-created proxy files, and Import Waveforms Control turns automatic waveform generation on or off for lighter imports.

LiteCut works only on selected clips, does not modify original media, does not delete project files, and avoids unsafe system-level changes. It is built for editors who want a cleaner, faster-feeling Premiere workflow without changing hardware. LiteCut is built on UXP and is compatible with Premiere Pro 25.6 and later.

Frequently asked questions

Does LiteCut work with Premiere Pro 25.6?

LiteCut is compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro 25.6 and later, as noted in its version 1.0.1 details. Built on UXP, it runs as a workflow panel inside Premiere Pro, gathering performance-related actions into a single panel. If you are running an earlier release of Premiere Pro, check the developer's page at key-farmer.com for the current supported versions before installing to confirm the panel will load in your environment.

Will LiteCut delete my original media or project files?

LiteCut does not modify your original media and does not delete project files. Its Media Cache Tools handle safe cache cleanup through Light Clean and cache index cleanup through Deep Clean, and proxy deletion only removes LiteCut-created proxy files. The panel also avoids unsafe system-level changes. Because it works only on selected clips for proxy actions, you stay in control of what the panel touches during your session.

How does LiteCut handle proxies in Premiere Pro?

LiteCut includes Proxy Tools that create proxies for selected clips in the project panel and remove LiteCut-created proxy files when needed. It works only on selected clips, so the panel affects just the media you choose. When removing proxies, LiteCut deletes only the proxy files it created, leaving other files in place. These proxy actions sit alongside cache and waveform controls in the same panel for a consolidated workflow.

Is LiteCut free to use?

LiteCut is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing terms and any conditions of use, check the developer's page at key-farmer.com, where the plugin is published by Key-Farmer for Adobe Premiere Pro users. The listing also reflects version 1.0.1, which added minor cosmetic UI fixes and a demo video showing the LiteCut workflow inside Premiere Pro, with no functional workflow changes.
