What's new in Eddie v4

Eddie v4 is the biggest release since the move to the cloud. It doesn't just trim a timeline: it watches your rushes, finds the story, syncs your cameras, names who's on which angle, writes the music, sources the b-roll, and hands the finished cut to Premiere, Resolve, Avid or Final Cut as a real project file. Here's what's new.

Use Eddie where you already work

• Edit from ChatGPT and Claude. Cut your footage by talking to the assistant you already have open, with real frames from your footage playing right in the conversation. See Use Eddie from Claude or ChatGPT.
• iPhone app. Prompt an edit from your phone, watch the finished cut with b-roll, music, titles and captions, and save the MP4 to Photos. See Eddie for iPhone.
• Web and desktop. The same project, everywhere — start on the train, finish at your workstation. See Install the desktop app.

Pay only for what you use

No subscription required — buy a credit pack and use it, with no monthly fee just to open the product. See How credits work.

Goes straight into your edit suite

• Real Premiere and Resolve projects — a native .prproj or .drp, multicam intact, written in seconds. See Export to your editor and Install the Eddie AI extension for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve.
• Avid Media Composer, new in v4 — browse your open bins and send an edit back as a new sequence, through the Eddie AI AE extension (beta, Media Composer 2024 and 2025). See Install the Eddie AI extension for Avid Media Composer.
• Premiere Pro Productions — Eddie delivers an assembly straight into your Production, media placed for you. See Bring Eddie into your Premiere Productions.
• Blackmagic Cloud — Eddie builds bins, selects reels, markers and organized b-roll inside your own Resolve project in the cloud. See Work in your DaVinci Resolve cloud project with Eddie.
• Final Cut Pro — FCPXML in and out, multicam and compound clips intact on the round trip.
• Or just take the video — MP4 up to an hour, audio stems, alpha graphics tracks, and footage logs as CSV, Word or PDF. See Download interview and B-roll logs.

Certifications your IT department asks about

• SOC 2 Type II and GDPR, with a Data Processing Addendum ready to sign.
• HIPAA compliant, for medical and clinical work that couldn't touch a cloud editor before.
• C2PA content credentials on exported output, so a broadcaster can verify what was done to the footage.
• On-premises deployment for facilities whose footage can't leave the building.

See Legal, security and compliance for the full detail.

Eddie's own editing model

We trained our own editing model, EddieEditor1-9B, rather than renting someone else's. It's small enough to run locally, and in blind comparisons editors preferred its cuts to a model 300 times its size 47% of the time.

Work with your team

• Workspaces — shared projects, shared credits, one place to manage who's in. See Create a workspace.
• Comments on the frame, including Eddie's own. See The ✨ spark.
• Share links that behave — view or edit access, sign-in required or not, revocable per link. See Share a project.
• Slack and Microsoft Teams — your team sees imports, renders and review activity where they already talk. See Get Eddie notifications in Slack or Microsoft Teams.
• Enterprise SSO — sign in with your company account into your company's workspace. See Single sign-on (SSO / SAML) for your team.

Multicam and podcasts

Drop in your cameras and Eddie groups and syncs them automatically, by audio or by timecode, cutting to your sound recorder's audio rather than the camera's scratch mic. It also knows who's on which camera — Eddie labels angles by face and by name, so you can say "cut to Sarah" instead of "cut to A002" — and a camera change on any segment survives into your NLE export. See Multicam: the complete guide.

Make what you didn't shoot

• Original music, written for your cut, with automatic ducking under dialogue. See Music, voice-over and audio.
• Voiceover and dubbing — generate narration in a voice you choose, or dub an edit into another language. See Dub your edit into another language.
• Stock b-roll, searched properly — describe the shot, watch the real candidates, drop one on the timeline. See Find stock b-roll.
• Generated b-roll, for the shot that doesn't exist anywhere. See Generate AI b-roll.
• B-roll sequences — a finished montage, not just cutaways. See B-roll only? You get an editable montage.

Titles, captions and graphics

Curated motion-graphics templates bake correctly into your export, and your brand's fonts and colours apply automatically once set. Captions are word-level with karaoke highlighting, identical in the preview, the MP4 and the NLE — and reframing for vertical or social follows faces instead of squashing the picture. See Titles and graphics, Motion graphics, and Crop and reframe for social.

Bring in any footage

BRAW, R3D (including spanned clips), MXF, Nikon N-RAW, stills and audio-only files, from Google Drive, Dropbox, Frame.io, iconik, LucidLink or YouTube, by picker or pasted link — or straight from a Premiere project, the Resolve media pool, or an FCPXML. If a file can't be imported, Eddie tells you which one and why, rather than quietly handing back fewer files than you gave it. See Import your footage and Connect cloud storage.

Teach Eddie how you work

• Backgrounders — attach your script, brief, brand guidelines, reference faces or a reference video, and Eddie edits with that in hand. See Backgrounder: give Eddie context.
• Editor agents — build an editor with its own style and skills and publish it, or install one from the marketplace, including five director agents we've published ourselves.
• Recipes — save a workflow you repeat and run it again in one click.
• Version history and length control — tell Eddie how long the cut should be and it respects it; every version is saved, and you can go back to any of them.
