Eddie is an AI video editor. You give it footage, ask for the edit in plain words, and it builds the timeline. You can finish there, or send the edit to DaVinci Resolve as a project or timeline.

Does Eddie work with the free version of DaVinci Resolve?

Yes. Eddie's Resolve script runs in the free DaVinci Resolve and in Resolve Studio, including the Mac App Store builds (those need Eddie desktop 4.0.42 or later). The .drp and FCPXML exports open in either.

How does an Eddie edit get into DaVinci Resolve?

Open the edit, click Export and choose Resolve. The default is a Resolve project (.drp) that opens with the timeline built; behind the arrow is a Resolve FCPXML you bring into the project you have open with File > Import > Timeline. In the desktop app, Send to DaVinci Resolve builds the timeline in the Resolve you have running, through Eddie's script (Workspace > Scripts > Eddie AI AE). If you imported the footage through the desktop app, the timeline points at your original camera files. If you uploaded on the web or pulled from cloud storage, it points at Eddie's proxy media: relink to those in the Media Pool with Relink Selected Clips, not to the camera originals.
