Export formats
Every file Eddie writes
Eddie finishes where your edit continues. Take the cut into Premiere, Resolve, Final Cut or Avid as a timeline, deliver it as an MP4, or take the words and the logs on their own. This page lists every export, and says plainly what each one carries and what it leaves behind.
What survives the trip
Every timeline format carries your cuts. They differ in what else comes with them, and the difference is bigger than it looks — an EDL hands over the cuts and nothing more, while the Resolve FCPXML brings your crop, motion, colour and audio levels along.

Timelines for your editor
Your edit as a file another editing application opens. Nothing is rendered and nothing is baked — these point at your original media.
- FCPXML
.fcpxmlTake an Eddie AI edit into Final Cut Pro as an FCPXML timeline. What the file carries, what it does not, and how to export one.FCPXML export - Resolve FCPXML

What exports cost
Included — this export costs no credits. Subtitles, transcripts and footage logs are included. Timeline files for another editor use credits — one price for the artifact, whichever window produced it. Renders use credits at the standard export rate, and ProRes captions are the most expensive export Eddie offers.
