A big week: your edits can now speak other languages, b-roll does what you ask it to, and footage costs half as much to bring in.
Dub your edit into another language
Turn on Dub this edit in the voice-over panel, pick a target language and a voice, and Eddie translates your edit's own words and speaks them in time with the cut. More than 90 languages are available.
The translation comes from the edit timeline, not the raw transcript, so what gets dubbed is what a viewer actually hears — cuts respected, removed sections gone. Lines are grouped into blocks that break at real pauses, so a dub never paves over a beat you deliberately left in.
Your original dialogue automatically ducks underneath the dub, in the player and in the exported MP4, instead of two voices competing at the same level.
Voice-over you can audition
Voice-over grew up this week. Ask Eddie to draft the script and he'll write it against the edit. Listen to the voices before committing to one. Record another take without destroying the take you already had.
Voice-over clips are now sized by the real generated audio rather than a word-count estimate, so a line lands in the space it was written for instead of running past the next shot.
One-click ✨ Generate on the timeline lanes
Titles, captions and music each have a Generate button on their own lane. No prompt required — click it and Eddie fills the lane.
Captions get a style popover for look and entrance. Titles now pull fonts and colors straight from your brand kit, so a cut comes out looking like your work rather than a default.

Ask for the b-roll you actually want
Tell Eddie what to look for — "wide establishing shots, nobody's hands in frame" — and he'll find those moments in your own footage, cut them into subclips, and add them to the b-roll library where the sequence tools can use them.
The guidance is the selection rubric, not a style hint. The same property can be exactly what you want under one brief and disqualifying under another, so Eddie asks rather than guesses.
And if a project is b-roll only, with no interview at all, you now get an editable montage automatically instead of an empty timeline.

Footage costs half as much to bring in
Importing and transcribing dropped from 500 to 250 credits per hour of source footage. The free credits every new account starts with now cover roughly four hours of footage instead of two.
Know the moment an edit is ready
Connect Slack or Microsoft Teams to your workspace and Eddie posts when he finishes an edit — the prompt he was given, a thumbnail, and a link straight into the project. Per-project toggles mean you only hear about the work you care about.
Also this week
- Misheard a name? Fix the word directly in the transcript, for free. Timings stay exact and captions rebuild in the same step — no re-transcription. Speaker-label edits stick now, too.
- What you see in the player is what lands in the MP4: motion, transitions and speed changes match exactly, and a sync drift in rendered exports is fixed.
- Cleaner hand-offs to Premiere Pro, Final Cut, Resolve, Avid and OTIO — including audio-only sources and audio crossfades that used to stop an import cold.
- On the desktop app: RED and camera-RAW footage is handled far better, HEIC/HEIF photos import, and you can drag clips from the Final Cut browser in as many passes as you like.
- Imports tell you what actually happened — which file failed and why — and refunds explain themselves.
Missed last week?
- Final Cut and Resolve multicams import with every angle intact. Bring a synced timeline into Eddie and the angles come with it, switchable per clip, instead of being flattened to one camera.
- Send finished work straight to iconik. Delivery lands as a proper ingest, with storage, job history and transcode.
- Clean audio at every cut. Dialogue edges ramp in the player and in rendered exports, so cuts stop clicking. Hindi and other Indic captions render properly too.
- Faster uploads and honest import failures. Files upload in parallel, and anything that doesn't make it is named, explained and surfaced in your notifications.
Every one of these came from editors telling us what got in the way. Keep it coming.
