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 Interviews in Final Cut Pro with Eddie AI

Import your footage/multicams/timelines into Eddie, let it build a rough edit from your interviews. Create shorts and copy, then export to Final Cut Pro for polish. Eddie saves hours (or days) so you can focus on story and make more and better videos.

Import your footage

Download Eddie AI and import many hours of interviews and B-roll. Eddie supports videos on your local and network drive; clips, multicams, and timelines in your bin in Premiere, Resolve, and FCP; and files in your cloud drive like frame.io.

Edit automatically

Eddie swiftly analyzes the interview, summarizes the conversation, and pulls out the key points. Then you and Eddie (your AI assistant editor) align on the story and once you do, Eddie edits the story in minutes. You can iterate on the story, try different angles: Eddie cuts at your direction. You can also ask for stringouts for hooks or takeaways and request social clips too.

Create shorts and copy

When you’re happy with the interview-based story, Eddie then places B-roll if you imported it. Eddie logs and organizes the B-roll and creates sequences of B-roll, which it then places on the story. You can preview the assembly in Eddie AI.

Export to Final Cut Pro

Finally, export the rough cut to Final Cut Pro to refine the edit. You can also share the project with your editor or teammate by using the Share button on the header.
