Welcome to Eddie, your AI-powered video editing sidekick! Eddie’s here to make your editing life easier, faster, and way more fun. Let’s get you set up in no time!

1. Create a New Project

First, start by creating a new project in Eddie.

Steps to Create a New Project:

1. Click “New Project”.

2. Import Your Interview

Once your project is created, import your video.

We currently support:

  • English audio

  • up to 2 hours in duration

  • up to 20GB file size

  • mp4/mov

  • start timecode & framerate

Eddie works best with videos that have clear audio and dialogue—interviews, vlogs, or any footage with good sound quality.

Import From:

• Google Drive

• Dropbox

• Your Computer

Select your file and Eddie will import, process and analyze it, ready for prompt-based video editing.

3. Give Eddie a Prompt

Once your video imports, Eddie can perform edits with your text commands. You can ask Eddie to list the key topics in the video, identify soundbites and create edits based on topics. And so so so much more.

Example prompts:

“Create a 1-minute cut from the interview.” Eddie will find key moments and trim it down.

“Find the part where they talk about [insert topic].” Eddie will locate and cut the soundbite.

“Cut together the discussion about the company’s future.” Let Eddie pull the relevant clips for you.

4. Export Your Edit

When you’re satisfied with your edit, click the export button under the video player.

MP4: For general use.

Vertical MP4: Ideal for Instagram, TikTok, and other social media.

XML: The sequence/timeline Eddie cut will be re-created in your NLE -- such as Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve -- to complete and polish there. Here's the instructions to relink the XML in your video editing application.

Steps to Export:

1. Click “Export” under the video player.

2. Select MP4, Vertical, or XML.

3. Eddie will notify you when the export is ready. Simple!

5. Share Your Video

You can share your project by clicking the "Share" button at the top right.
