What is Eddie AI?

Eddie AI is an AI video editor you direct in plain language — import footage, describe the cut, refine by conversation, export anywhere.

Eddie AI is an AI video editor you direct in plain language. You import footage, describe the edit you want — "cut this interview down to the three strongest answers, add captions, and find b-roll for the product mentions" — and Eddie builds a cut you can watch, refine with follow-up prompts, and export.

What Eddie is good at

  • Turning long footage into a tight cut — interviews, podcasts, webinars, talking-head and multicam shoots.
  • The tedious passes — removing filler words and dead air, syncing multicam angles, word-level captions, color matching.
  • Handing off cleanly — every edit exports to Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Avid (EDL) and OTIO, or renders straight to a finished MP4.

What makes it different

Eddie edits from the transcript and the content of your footage, not just its waveform. It knows what was said and when, so you can brief it the way you'd brief a human editor.

It also closes the review loop: you, your clients and Eddie itself leave timestamped comments on the cut, and every comment carries a ✨ spark — click it and Eddie implements the note. See The ✨ spark — Eddie implements your comments.

Where you use it

  • On the web at app.heyeddie.ai — nothing to install; import, prompt and export from the browser.
  • In the desktop app — local footage, native playback, and local MP4 rendering. See Install the desktop app.
  • From Claude or any MCP client — connect Eddie as a tool and prompt it from your AI chat. See Use Eddie from Claude.

Start with Import your footage, then make your first AI edit.
