Price list: what each thing in Eddie costs in credits

Every fixed price in one table: imports, transcription, searches of your footage, b-roll, beats, audio description and each kind of export, plus what is free.

This page lists every action in Eddie that has a fixed price. For how credits, balances and refunds work in general, see How credits and billing work. For the price of generated music, voice-over, sound effects and AI b-roll, see Generate with Eddie.

A credit is a credit: every price below is the same whether Pro or Regular credits pay it. See Pro credits, Regular credits and which AI model runs your edit.

Bringing footage in

WhatCredits
Importing footage250 per hour of footage, billed in 15-minute blocks. The smallest import is 63.
The first transcript of an imported fileFree. The import already paid for it.
Transcribing a file again (replacing its transcript)250 per hour, with a 15-minute minimum per file

Importing the same files again. If your workspace imported and paid for the same file in the last 30 days, in an import that finished, importing it again into a new project is free for that file. This works once per file. The credits come back as a refund on the new import.

Adding media to a project you already have is billed like any other import, on the length of the new files only.

Asking Eddie to look through your footage

WhatCredits
Finding moments by watching the footage600 per hour searched (10 a minute, rounded up to the whole minute)
Finding the emotional moments in interviews300 per hour of footage analysed
Rating soundbites into tiered selects100 per hour of footage rated
Cutting b-roll into subclips600 per hour of footage analysed, and at least 10 per subclip made, whichever is more
Detecting the beats in a music track2 per minute of audio, rounded up to whole minutes

Asking the same question of the same footage again is free for a moment search and for the interview moments. A saved beat grid is reused for free.

Building and changing an edit

A prompt run — the work Eddie does when you ask it for something — is metered on the work it does, so it has no fixed price. Eddie quotes a range before a big run, and every finished run shows what it cost. See How credits and billing work.

Inside a run, these cost nothing extra: building an edit, adding to one, captions, titles, crops and reframing to vertical or square, color grading and hiding part of the picture.

Looking at frames has no price of its own. When Eddie looks at frames of your video, the pictures are part of the prompt run's metered cost, so a run that looks at many frames costs more.

WhatCredits
Placing b-roll on a cut350 per hour of the b-roll files the cut uses, each file counted once
An audio description200 per minute, in whole minutes, with a one-minute minimum

Exports

WhatCredits
A timeline for Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Avid or OTIO, including the .prproj and .drp project files100 credits per export
Footage logs (CSV, Word, Google Docs or a timeline)100 credits per export
A cloud MP4, in 1080p, 4K or sourceThe first 10 each day are free for each workspace, then 50 each
An MP4 rendered by the desktop app10
Sending a finished MP4 to Frame.io or iconik10
A ProRes 4444 render300

The day for MP4 exports resets at midnight UTC. Downloading an unchanged edit again is free and does not count. The 4K upscaled MP4 is priced on its own row, before you click. See Render a finished MP4.

When nothing is charged

  • A failure on our side is refunded. A failed import, search, render or export gives your credits back. A search that runs and finds nothing is an answer, not a failure, so it is not refunded.
  • A question is free. Asking Eddie something, including what a thing would cost, costs nothing when it changes nothing in your project.
  • Ask first. Say "tell me the price before you do anything paid", and Eddie checks each price and waits for your OK.
