Privacy

Last updated: 30 August 2026

This page says plainly what the FastEdit panel sends, where it goes, and what never leaves your computer. If anything here is unclear, ask before you buy.

The short version

The free features send nothing. Safe Zones, gaps, reframing, anchors and zoom all run entirely inside Premiere on your machine.

The AI features send three things to Anthropic, the company that makes the Claude model, and to nobody else:

• Eight still frames sampled from the clips you are editing
• The transcript of the spoken audio, when captions or Auto-Edit are used
• Your clip names, durations and timeline structure

The panel tells you this before the first time it sends anything, and you can decline. If you decline, the AI features do not run and everything else keeps working.

What never leaves your machine

• Your video and audio files. They are never uploaded.
• The transcription itself. Speech is turned into text locally, on your own processor. The audio is not sent anywhere to be transcribed.
• Your Premiere project file.

Whose account it goes through

FastEdit uses your own Anthropic API key. That means the requests are billed to your account and governed by your agreement with Anthropic, not ours. We never see them, and we operate no server that your footage passes through.

Anthropic's own terms describe how they handle API data: anthropic.com/legal/privacy.

Working under an NDA

If your footage is confidential, check that your agreement permits sending frames and a transcript to a third-party AI provider before you use the AI features. That is a decision only you can make, which is why the panel asks before the first send instead of assuming.

What we store, and where

Everything the panel keeps is a file on your own disk, under %APPDATA%\FastEditAI\ on Windows or the equivalent application-support folder on macOS:

• Your licence record, so the panel does not have to ask every time you open it
• A receipt for the premium template pack, tied to your machine
• A local log of which generated scripts were run, so a bad edit can be traced
• Panel preferences, such as your chosen format and caption style

None of this is transmitted to us. You can delete the folder at any time; the panel rebuilds what it needs.

What this website collects

The panel and the website are separate. Everything above is about the panel, which runs on your machine. This site is the only part that receives anything from you, and only if you choose to give it:

• The waiting list. If you enter your email address to be told when FastEdit is released, we store that address, and the optional answers you give alongside it: which editing program you use, and how you heard about us. We use it to send you the release announcement and nothing else. We do not sell it, we do not share it, and every message carries a one click unsubscribe.
• Your IP address, for sixty seconds. When you submit that form, the server records your IP address for one minute so the same address cannot send more than five entries per minute. This is how the list is kept clean of automated spam. It is never written next to your email address, it is never used to identify you, and after sixty seconds it deletes itself. It is not a cookie and it does not follow you around the site.
• Signing in with Google. If you create an account with the Google button, Google tells us your name, your email address and your profile picture. That is all we receive, and it is all we keep. We never see your Google password, and we cannot read anything else in your Google account. You can revoke our access at any time from your Google account security settings.

Write to us at the address below and we will tell you what we hold about you, or delete it. We do not need a reason.

Licensing and payment

Subscriptions are handled by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as merchant of record. They receive your payment and billing details; we do not store card data. When the panel checks whether your licence is valid, it sends your licence key and a label identifying the computer, and nothing about your projects or footage.

Analytics

The panel contains no analytics, no telemetry and no crash reporting. It does not phone home. This website uses no tracking cookies, and there is no advertising network on it. The one minute IP limit described above is not tracking: nothing is kept long enough to build a picture of anyone.
