Eddie AI is the assistant editor you’ve always wanted—fast, local, and built for real professional workflows. Instead of promising a one-click “make a video” shortcut, Eddie focuses on the tough, time-consuming parts of longform post: logging, syncing, first assemblies, clip tagging, and multicam management. You work in your preferred NLE; Eddie does the grunt work so you can spend your time crafting the story.
Install Eddie on Mac (M1/Intel) or Windows, point it at your raw footage—interviews, screen recordings, multicam podcasts, branded content—and let it analyze. Eddie generates structured rough cuts from interviews, building stringouts you can review immediately. It auto-logs A/B rolls into searchable bins, so finding the pull quote you vaguely remember becomes a quick text search instead of an hour of scrubbing. For podcasts, Eddie intelligently picks camera angles during edits, keeping faces framed and the conversation visually engaging without manual toggling.
Dialogue-aware B-roll tagging is where Eddie really shines. As the transcript is processed, Eddie suggests relevant B-roll moments and labels them so your coverage stays connected to what’s being said. Need a quick social cut? Eddie’s clip creation tools surface highlight moments with context, giving you fast, on-brand shorts without leaving the professional toolchain.
When you’re ready to finish, Eddie exports edit-ready assets and timelines for Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. The result isn’t a flattened MP4; it’s a clean, structured project that respects your workflow and media organization. Because Eddie runs locally, there’s no uploading, no waiting for cloud queues, and no wrestling with proxy-only pipelines. It’s purpose-built for large files and pro codecs, so feature docs and agency campaigns feel just as responsive as a two-camera interview.
Eddie’s sweet spot is the messy middle of post—where organization, structure, and smart first passes can save entire days. Documentarians get faster assemblies, agency teams get searchable media libraries across campaigns, and podcasters with multicam setups get confident angle selections that look hand-cut. If you already know your way around Premiere, Final Cut Pro, or Resolve, Eddie slots in as a time-saving teammate, not a walled garden.
While the free plan is great for a trial run, it’s capped at two exports per month and applies watermarks—fair warning for production teams. Eddie also assumes you’re comfortable in a pro NLE; it doesn’t replace editing fundamentals so much as accelerate them. If your work is mostly short, mobile-first edits, Eddie might be overkill. But for teams moving real footage through real timelines, it’s a practical upgrade that pays back in hours.
Eddie AI is an assistant editor that lives on your machine, speaks your tools, and turns the slowest parts of longform post into a fast, searchable, and repeatable process. Keep your craft. Lose the drudgery.
