Do it in Eddie

Eddie has its own templates and prompt-made motion graphics, with different hand-off rules.

Eddie's templates (kinetic titles, lower thirds and count-up stat callouts) carry into Premiere exports as overlay clips you can restyle. Motion graphics you describe in a prompt take 30 to 90 seconds to make and use about 60 credits each; they aren't included in Premiere exports yet, so render an MP4 to keep them.

Back to Premiere

Open the edit, click Export and choose Premiere. You get a Premiere project (.prproj) or the older Premiere XML. In the desktop app, Send to Premiere Pro builds the edit inside Premiere through Eddie's panel, which the app installs for you.

If you imported the footage through the desktop app, the timeline points at your original camera files, so Premiere relinks to them. If you uploaded on the web or pulled from cloud storage, it points at Eddie's proxy media; relink to those, not to the camera originals.
