Eddie is designed to help you create amazing video edits quickly and easily, using natural language prompts. Here are some example prompts tailored for different situations to guide you through your editing journey:

Understanding Prompts: A prompt is a specific request or instruction you provide to Eddie to guide the video editing process. It directs Eddie on what type of edit you desire, such as extracting key moments or creating highlight reels. The clearer your prompt, the more precisely Eddie can tailor the edit to meet your expectations.

For instance, asking Eddie to “Extract key quotes about challenges” or “Create a summary of the main points from this interview” helps in pinpointing essential soundbites. After Eddie extracts key quotes, you might say, “This is a good start, but the summary is a bit lengthy. Can you condense it while retaining the key points discussed?”
