Make your first AI edit

Once your footage is processed, you direct the edit by prompting Eddie in plain language.

Make the cut

1. Open Prompt Eddie.
2. Describe what you want, being specific about the outcome:
   • "Cut this 40-minute interview to a 3-minute highlight of the best answers."
   • "Remove filler words and long pauses, then add captions."
   • "Make a 30-second vertical teaser for Instagram."
3. Eddie works through the footage and builds an edit — you'll see the timeline and transcript fill in as it goes.

Watch and refine

Editing is a conversation. After the first pass, keep going:

• "The intro drags — start on the second question."
• "Add b-roll wherever they mention the product."
• "Punch up the color and add a title card."

Each prompt adjusts the same edit; you're steering, not starting over.

If a result looks off

• Check the transcript — Eddie edits from it, so a transcription problem becomes an editing problem. See Transcripts and speakers.
• Ask Eddie to explain: "why did you cut the middle section?"
• Learn to brief it well: How to prompt Eddie.

When you're happy, export to your editor or render an MP4.
