Eddie AI can now cut scripted edits together from your video footage plus a script and choose the best takes (based on audio transcript matching to the script, with additional logic). It is meant for online videos, YouTube videos...edits that are up to 20 mins long. It is not meant for scripted films that often have a longer intended duration.

Prerequisites:

  1. Eddie for Mac/PC, version 2.4.0 or above | Download

    1. Scripted mode is not available on Eddie website, only on the Mac/PC applications.

  2. Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro

    1. We recommend installing the Eddie extension for Premiere or Resolve if you use those NLEs. For FCP, simply drop the clips into Eddie to import them and to export: drop the "edit" icon back to your FCP event.

Limitations:

  1. 1-hour of source footage

  2. Only English-language audio.

  3. ~20 mins edits

  4. Simple clips and videos, from your local drive or NLE. We do not support importing multicams and timelines today.

How to use Scripted mode:

  1. Create a new project and select "Scripted Story"
    ​


    ​

  2. Select your videos to import
    ​

  3. Copy and paste your script into the prompt box. Click the "Import" button.
    ​

  4. When analysis and alignment is complete, click export and select your video editing application.
    ​

  5. A timeline will be created in your NLE where you will see the best takes chosen and the alternative takes just above. To view the alternative takes, you may have to right-click and choose enable.

TaDa!
