Update: A-roll logging has been added to 'Docs/Stringouts' mode which means you can log A-roll multicams and timelines. And create edits in the same mode.
Create a new project and choose "Docs/Stringouts" mode
Import your interviews: Eddie supports simple and multicam clips.
If all you want are logged interviews: you do not need to engage with Eddie. Wait until logging is complete. Then click the "Logs" button on the header bar.
What do I receive when I log media in Eddie?
Eddie logs soundbites and b-roll and groups them in logical categories. See these below screenshots for B-roll logging and the detailed, searchable metadata you receive back in Premiere Pro.
Note the options:
clips are prefixed with a short description.
a longer description is added, in Premiere, to the Description column. Resolve and FCP have similar functionalities.
Sub-bins are created per category that groups these clips.
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 + speech recognition
Eddie can log your B-rolls or visual clips using computer vision and speech recognition. 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).
If your b-roll has audio, Eddie will apply speech recognition to it and summarize the speech, adding the summary of the speech into the metadata.
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.

B-Roll Stills Support in Docs / Stringouts
When using Docs / Stringouts, Eddie also supports importing still images as B-roll. These stills are automatically converted into 5-second video clips so they can be inserted alongside your other B-roll footage during editing and export.
Note: B-roll stills are currently supported only in Docs / Stringouts mode and are not available in standalone B-Roll Logging projects.
