Editing capabilities
Directing the edit in plain language: cuts, b-roll, captions, music, multicam.
26 articlesAdd b-roll and overlaysEddie places cutaway footage as overlays exactly where you describe, keeping the speaker's audio running underneath.Add captions and subtitlesWord-level captions timed from the transcript — karaoke highlighting, styling by prompt, burned into MP4s or carried to your NLE.B-roll only? You get an editable montageImport footage with no interviews at all and Eddie builds a starter montage you can prompt, refine and export — not just a read-only shot log.Backgrounder: give Eddie contextA workspace library of scripts, briefs, dictionaries and labelled faces that grounds every edit in your context.Brand kits: logo, fonts and colorsBrand kits feed your logo, fonts and colors into titles and motion graphics, but Eddie can't yet place a static logo watermark in a corner of your video throughout a clip.Can Eddie read a document you upload or paste in chat?Eddie can't open files dropped or attached directly in a chat conversation — reference material has to go into the Backgrounder first.Cinematic motion: the automatic push, drift and zoomEddie applies a subtle automatic camera motion (push, drift, zoom, and a talking-head jump-cut reframe) to every project by default, and you can turn it off project-wide or on individual segments.Color gradingGrade by description — warm it up, match the cameras, go filmic — previewed live and carried into every export.Crop and reframe for socialTurn a horizontal shoot into a vertical or square cut, then fine-tune any shot's crop by hand right on the timeline.Dub your edit into another languageTranslate the edit's dialogue and speak it as a voice track in 90+ languages — timed from the transcript, billed on the translated script.How to prompt Eddie wellBrief Eddie like an editor: describe the outcome, give length, platform and tone, then refine in small steps.Motion graphics: kinetic titles, lower-thirds and stat calloutsAnimated overlays by prompt: kinetic titles, sliding lower-thirds and count-up stat callouts — in your brand type.Multicam: sync cameras across importsCameras not grouped at import — or added later? Tell Eddie which files are the same take and it groups and syncs them into switchable angles.Multicam: syncing and switching anglesEddie syncs angles from the same shoot by their audio and switches between them by prompt.Music library: a workspace shelf, one track per projectUpload or generate tracks onto a workspace-wide music shelf, attach exactly one per project, and ask Eddie to add it to the edit.Music, voice-over and audioGenerate AI music and voice-over, place a track from your workspace music shelf, dub the dialogue into another language — all ducked under speech automatically.One-click Generate on the timeline lanesEmpty Titles, Captions, Music and VO lanes each carry a ✨ Generate button — with style, mood and tempo pickers for music — that sends a ready-made prompt to Eddie.Pauses, gaps and pacingSilent gaps show as teal Pause segments on the timeline — tighten for punch or keep a beat for breathing room.Refining clips with sparkHover any clip on the timeline and click ✨ to change just that clip — reframe it, cover it with b-roll, or refine several selected clips at once.Remove filler words and silencesOne prompt strips ums, false starts and dead air from the transcript while speech stays intact.Stabilize shaky footageEddie can smooth out shaky drone, gimbal-less handheld, or walking-shot footage — just ask. Generating a new stabilized rendition costs credits and takes a minute or two; reusing one, or reverting it, is free.Subclips and picking the best parts of a clipEddie logs the usable sections of every clip at import — and can cut your b-roll into subclips on demand, from your own guidance about what to look for.The spark — Eddie implements your commentsEvery comment on your timeline — yours, your client's, a Frame.io reviewer's, or Eddie's own — carries a ✨ spark. Click it and Eddie makes the change.Titles and graphicsAdd title cards, lower-thirds and on-screen text by describing what should appear and where.Transcripts and speakersWord-level transcription and speaker detection are what let you edit, caption and search footage by its words.What you can ask Eddie to doEddie can cut, caption, grade, and generate music or voice-over for you, but it doesn't do video upscaling, background removal, noise reduction, or style transforms like anime conversion.
