What's A-roll and B-roll logging?

A-rolls are interviews and B-rolls are visual clips: Eddie can log both, one project at a time.

Update: A-roll logging has moved to Rough Cut mode. It also supports multicam interview (A-roll) logging.

  1. Create a new project and choose Rough Cut mode

  2. Import your interviews: Eddie supports simple and multicam clips.

  3. If all you want are logged interviews: you do not need to engage with Eddie. Wait until logging is complete. Click "Interview Logs" under "Source" and then click "Export". See below.

If you want to log multicam A-roll interviews, use Rough Cut mode. Rough Cut mode has been updated to support both the logging of interviews (including multicams) and creating rough cuts from them.

A-roll or interview logging

Eddie can log interview footage (aka A-rolls) using transcription and LLMs to summarize interviews, identify soundbites, and group these soundbites into topics, and then send incredibly detailed and searchable metadata to your video editing application (Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro).

A-roll logging mode here doesn't support multicams. If you want to log multicam interviews, create a new project and choose "Rough Cut" mode.

B-roll or visual clip logging

Eddie can log your B-rolls or visual clips using computer vision. Eddie describes the clip and identifies the shot type, groups clips into relevant categories, and then sends incredibly detailed and searchable metadata to your video editing application (Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro).

B-roll logging mode has also been updated to support "subclipping" where Eddie identified blurred and setup shots and keeps the best part of the b-roll, creating a stringout of these best subclips to make it quick to skim through. To enable subclipping mode: you need to be a Pro / Pro+ subscriber and click the requisite checkbox.
