Eddie is a powerful tool for creating rough cuts and organizing your footage. Here is where his limits actually are today. Some things on this list used to be unsupported and now work, so each item names the real boundary.

• Eddie does add zooms and pans. He can push in, pull out, pan left or right, or drift across a shot. Still photos get a slow Ken Burns move by default. You can also switch all automatic motion off, or set the motion on one clip at a time.

• The limit: this is a reframe inside the picture you shot, not real camera movement. Eddie cannot create a new camera angle, and he does not follow a moving person — a reframe stays fixed for the whole shot. A zoom on video is capped at 1.3x to protect image quality.

• Eddie does grade an edit. Ask him for a look and he sets exposure, contrast, saturation, temperature and tint, either across the whole edit or on one source inside it. Black and white works the same way.

• The grade shows in the player, bakes into MP4 exports, and carries into your NLE timeline export (Premiere Lumetri and the Final Cut Color Board).

• The limit: this is an overall look, not full color work. There are no curves, no secondaries, no masks and no shot matching. Do the fine grade in your NLE.

• Eddie does not do VFX. There is no green-screen keying, no compositing, no motion tracking and no rotoscoping. Use other software for that work after you export.

• Titles, lower thirds, motion graphics, captions, transitions and your own logo watermark are a different thing, and Eddie does add those.

• Eddie does not insert sound effects.

• He does handle music and narration. He can put a soundtrack on an edit from your music library, or generate a new track, and the music ducks under speech automatically. He can also generate an AI voice-over from a script you give him.

• The limit: music and voice-over play in the web player and are mixed into MP4 exports. They do not travel in NLE timeline exports, because those file formats carry no audio assets.

• Eddie works in about 50 languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Cantonese, Arabic, Hindi, Russian, Turkish, Vietnamese, Polish and the Nordic languages.

• Eddie detects the language of your footage automatically. You can also pick one in your language setting if you prefer.

• The limit: scripted edits support English only. If a file in another language goes into a scripted edit, Eddie tells you which file it was and what language he heard.

• Eddie does stabilize shaky footage. Ask him to steady a drone shot, a handheld shot or a walking shot. You can switch it off again at any time, and your original file is always kept.

• The limit: stabilizing has to crop in slightly, by roughly 5 to 15 percent, to hide the shake. Use it on genuinely shaky shots only. It is a paid step, and it shows in the player and in MP4 exports.

• Silent footage is fine. A clip with no audio track, or with no speech on it, imports normally and Eddie treats it as B-roll. He can cut it into a montage, and add music, a voice-over and captions over it. This is also what B-roll logging uses.

• The limit: Eddie builds a story cut from what people say. A project with no speech anywhere gives him no transcript to edit from, so you get a montage rather than an edit driven by the interview.
