Eddie AI is an AI-powered assistant video editor built for professional video editors. You describe the story and edits you want in plain language, and Eddie turns your raw interview footage into a structured rough cut in minutes. It works with your existing NLE like Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve for easy imports and exports.

How does Eddie AI create a rough cut?

Eddie transcribes your footage, finds the best soundbites, removes filler words, and builds a rough cut based on the story you describe in chat. It also logs and tags your B-roll automatically, then exports a finished timeline straight into your NLE. The hardest part is deciding what to do with all your free time.

How much time does Eddie AI save video editors?

Eddie turns raw interview footage into a rough cut in minutes rather than hours. Most editors report saving 10+ hours per project on the logging, transcription, and assembly stages alone. The goal is simple: get you to a first cut faster so you can spend your time on the creative decisions that actually need a human.

What types of video projects is Eddie AI best for?

Eddie is purpose-built for interview-driven content: documentaries, corporate video, branded content, podcasts, and long-form narratives. Eddie also lets you transform long-form content into short-form clips for social media. If your work regularly involves turning raw interview footage into a story, Eddie was made for exactly that.

Which video editing software does Eddie AI work with?

Eddie AI exports directly to Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve. It is a Mac and Windows desktop app that fits right into your existing workflow. No new editor to learn, no platform switching.

How is Eddie AI different from Descript or Opus Clip?

Descript is focused on podcast and audio editing within its own platform. Opus Clip is designed for turning long-form video into short social clips. While Eddie AI does both podcast editing and social clip creation, Eddie's specialty is generating full rough cuts from raw interview footage and exporting them directly into your NLE. Eddie is the one built for pro workflows.

How to Edit Igbo Interviews in Final Cut Pro with AI

Import

Add your Igbo interviews into Eddie by dropping in your files from your local or network drives. Add clips, multicams, and timelines (such as if you cull interviews on a sequence first) from your bin in FCP (or Resolve and Premiere too)-or add media from cloud drives like frame.io, Dropbox, and Google Drive. You can also import B-roll too. Make sure to set the correct transcription language (or choose 'Auto-Dectect') from the Settings menu. Eddie will swiftly analyze many hours of interview footage and thousands of B-roll clips.

Prompt to Edit

Once Eddie AI analyzes the Igbo interviews, prompt Eddie and Eddie will edit the interviews at your direction like an assistant editor. You can use Eddie to find key moments and help you craft a docu-style story. Prompt Eddie (like ChatGPT or Claude) to find particular soundbites or a stringout of soundbites on a particular topic (eg 'create a stringout from the interviewees' answers to the question where were they born') or discuss ways to tell a narrative with this footage. And when you want a docu-style story: Eddie will suggest a story framework. You can iterate on this or suggest your own story framework. Eddie will then cut the story with you, beat by beat.

Place B-roll (optional)

When you're happy with the Igbo interview-based story, Eddie will place B-roll on top of that story spine (if you imported B-roll). Eddie logs the B-roll and creates apt sequences that it places over the A-roll story.

Export

Once you're happy with the rough cut, export it to Final Cut Pro (or non-linear editors, such as DaVinci Resolve, and Adobe Premiere Pro). Eddie creates a sequence where clips relink to the source media so you can adjust, polish, add music, color, and title. You can also receive the metadata of the logged footage that makes it easy to search for additional soundbites and B-roll.
