You can import (relatively simple) timelines into Eddie. The use case here is if you cull/shorten your footage on a timeline first and then you want Eddie to create edits from that.

Note: timeline/sequence import only supported for Pro / Pro+ subscribers. To subscribe, see here.

IMPORTANT: specs

Adobe Premiere timeline import

  • simple or multicam clips on v1 and associated or separate audio on A1, such as if you synced separate sound on the timeline

  • synced timelines (aka dirty timelines) via this workaround only

    • If you don't use that workaround, clips on other tracks like V2 or A2 will NOT be imported and will NOT seamlessly relink

DaVinci Resolve timeline import

  • simple or multicam clips on v1 and associated or separate audio on A1, such as if you synced separate sound on the timeline


FCP timeline import

  • clips on V1 (and its associated audio on A1)

  • Any clips on other tracks like V2 or A2 will NOT be imported and will NOT seamlessly relink.

Why import timelines instead of the source clips?

If you do a first pass on your interviews where you winnow them down on the timeline and now you want Eddie just to analyze that timeline with subclips and create a rough cut from.

How to import timelines:

For Premiere/Resolve:

  • click the Premiere or Resolve icon on the import box in Eddie

  • A pop-up will pull up the assets from your bin

  • Click the timeline you want to import

That's it. Eddie will pull it in.

For FCP:

  • Drag the project from your FCP event to the import box in Eddie
