What's new in Eddie v4

Eddie v4: reach it from ChatGPT, Claude, your phone, or the desktop app; native Premiere, Resolve, Avid and Final Cut hand-off; and enterprise SOC 2, GDPR and HIPAA support.


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

Work with 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

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.

Enterprise, compliance and on-prem — let's talk

SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, private cloud or on-prem — tell us what your organization needs and we'll walk you through it. See Legal, security and compliance for the full detail.

  • SOC 2 Type I and Type II. Audited. Reports are available under NDA through our Trust Center.
  • GDPR, certified, with a Data Processing Addendum ready to sign.
  • HIPAA, certified for enterprise customers. Talk to us before you upload anything with protected health information, so the right agreement is in place first.
  • C2PA content credentials on exported output, so a broadcaster can verify what was done to the footage.
  • Private cloud or on-premises, scoped with your IT and security team.
  • A model built for this, in development. We're training our own editing model, EddieEditor1-9B, small enough to run fully on-prem. It isn't powering your edits yet — in blind tests so far, editors preferred its cuts to a model 300 times its size 47% of the time.

Enterprise deployment is scoped with your team, not self-serve. Contact sales.
