Meet Eddie, an AI-Powered Storytelling And Video Editing Assistant

Let's say you have an hour-long interview with one of your documentary subjects. 

How long would it take you to transcribe that interview, find the most compelling parts of that interview and create a rough cut out of those clips... Hours? Days?

Enter Eddie, an ai-powered storytelling and video editing assistant that can do all that for you -- and more -- in seconds!

Here's What You Can (and Can't) Do With Eddie

This tool is pretty straightforward. Nothing too fancy (no visual effects, zooms, color correcting, etc). 

Eddie is great for piecing together rough cuts, extracting soundbites and creating multiple clips for social media platforms (ie TikTok, Instagram). 

The final sequence can then be exported into your favorite editing platform (Final Cut, Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, etc) for final refinements.
