You can import timelines/sequences into Eddie. (It is a gated feature available to Pro/Pro+ subscribers. For a workaround, see here.)

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 or if you create synced timelines/dirty multicams (ie creating multicams on the timeline)

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) where you have numerous clips on v1, v2, v3, a1, a2, a3 etc

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

  • synced timelines (aka dirty timelines) where you have numerous clips on v1, v2, v3, a1, a2, a3 etc


FCP project/timeline import:

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

    • multicams/compound clips/sync clips are not supported yet

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

  • Make sure there are no gaps between clips. Clips should be placed back to back.

  • Make sure there are no effects, markers, titles, etc

  • Primary storyline only

  • Timeline import support is in its first version currently and should be used for basic/simple timelines such as where you are culling interviews.

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/timeline from your FCP event to the import box in Eddie
