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.

  1. 1.

    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.

  2. 2.

    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.

  3. 3.

    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.

  4. 4.

    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.
