Eddie AI — ChatGPT for video editing

Hey PH fam 👋 It' show time. Today, I'm super super excited to bring Eddie AI to the global tech & startup community 🎬✨ As EVERY video editor knows, wrangling hundreds of minutes of footage across various files to piece together a compelling story can be extremely time-consuming and tedious. Enter Eddie AI—your new AI-powered assistant editor that’s here to help streamline your workflow and make the editing process 100x more enjoyable. And magical. Imagine having access to the best practices and tactics of the world's smartest video editing professionals. Like Stanley Kubrick or James Cameron in your pocket. That's what Eddie AI can do for you. Eddie is a co-pilot that understands and edits your interview footage, in seconds, with text prompts. Want stronger hooks? No problem! Want your edits to be punchier? Easy peasy. Not happy and want to iterate more? Grab a chair. Eddie's got you! You can even export the final file as MP4 or polish it in Adobe, DaVinci Resolve, & FCP I've had my share of grey hair because of time spent trying to get the perfect edit whether it is for my video podcast or my Youtube channel. So when I had the chance to try Eddie, I was hooked from the start. Eddie can generate rough cuts in minutes, find key soundbites, and organize them by topics—all through a simple, conversational interface. You just tell Eddie what you want, and he gets to work! Key features: - > Generate lightning fast rough cuts (that would take hours otherwise) - -> Interact in a simple conversational UI like you'd talk to a person - -> Find key topics and specific soundbites from interviews within seconds - -> Export to DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, or MP4 - -> Multiple outputs for social media and client feedback, all in record time In summary: I love how Eddie takes the guesswork out of editing and helps you get to the creative part faster. Plus, his ability to iterate and fine-tune edits makes it a game-changer for anyone who edits under tight deadlines or client pressure.

“Everybody asks why I started at the end and worked back to the beginning, the reason is simple, I couldn’t understand the beginning until I had reached the end.” – Alison Lohman Eddie AI: Your Video Storytelling Partner @thisiskp_ thanks for the hunt ^_^ And a shout out to @rrhoover, PH was part of my school of life edu when I moved to SV a decade ago. _oOo_ Hey Product Hunt! I’m super excited to introduce to you - Eddie AI. Born from a Storyteller's Struggle Picture this: A dimly-lit editing bay, dozens of hours of footage, and a looming deadline. That was me, a video storyteller facing an all too common production nightmare. Fueled by coffee and urgency, I pulled all-nighters to weave a narrative from a sea of content. That struggle birthed an idea: what if there was a better way to do this? What would this look like 10 years from now? I wondered if AI's magic could be extended to video editing? Fast forward to today. Meet Eddie AI, the storytelling partner for those creating videos…producers, directors and marketers. The world of story building blocks, not a sea of buttons Eddie is the AI video editor that understands narrative, crafts compelling stories, and collaborates with video storytellers. It's here to transform how we bring stories to life by allowing you to focus on the building blocks of story: themes, topics, and soundbites. How does it do this? You upload your interview footage and give Eddie a prompt. Eddie, identify the key topics in this footage Can you cut me a video for YouTube about these topics And then you visualize the edit inline. Within seconds. It’s not the end, it’s the beginning: iterate with Eddie What’s cool is Eddie understands subjective commands plus you can iterate on stories with Eddie: Make this video punchier Strengthen the hook And when you’re happy with the edit, you can always go back to your traditional video editing applications to polish and add graphics. Or export from Eddie to landscape and vertical mp4 with burned in captions. We’re just getting started in rethinking how video storytelling can be better. Thank you so much for checking out Eddie AI. Really keen to hear about your first impressions, feedback or any questions today.

I have been using DeScript for my video edits. Would love to try Eddie. "ChatGPT for Video Editing" — sounds exciting!! Congrats on the launch :)

wow, it's blowing my mind what you've built! You can consider yourself part of the AI revolution in video processing

Congrats to your launch. Eddie AI sounds like a huge time-saver.

Congrats on the launch! In the example video, it looked like it could export portrait video clips for socials from a landscape import video, but in my testing I've only been able to get it to export landscape clips. Am I missing something or is the intention to just export clips I can then edit in a NLE?

This is awesome. I have no experience with video editing and recently spent hours trying to piece together a video for an accelerator program I’m applying to. I wish I had Eddie to help me. Definitely going to give Eddie a shout now.

The multiple output options for social media and client feedback are incredible. BTW congrats on launch!!

Love the idea but hate that you require visitors to create an account before finding anything about the service.

Oh wow, this is actually super useful! Just one thing I'm curious about - can Eddie work with group projects where multiple editors are collaborating? And does it support cloud storage? Anyway, really love what you've done here. Good luck with the launch!

Discovered via KP . Signed up and was able to edit a specific clip from one of the demos in seconds. Impressed! Congrats on the Launch!

Eddie sounds like a game-changer for editing—just type in what you need, and bam, you’ve got a rough cut ready. 😎 Wondering though, as you built Eddie to respond to text prompts, did you discover any quirky or unexpected ways people were using it to streamline their edits? Congratulation on the launch !!

Hey Everyone! Robbie here - Community and Content manager at Eddie AI, and 10 year video content creation vet. I've been a video editor and producer for the better part of 10 years now. I've made commercials for fortune 500 companies, docs for indie houses, and videos for local hardware stores - and everything in between throughout the years. Working as a video professional (especially when running a one-man-band production) can be a struggle. When you're worrying about what lens kit to bring to your next gig, the last thing you want is an email from another client asking, "where's my edit?" Staring down the barrel of hours of raw content can be daunting, and it's sometimes hard to start the ignition when the workload seems so heavy. I've been searching for something like Eddie my entire career, and it's so, so amazing to be on the team that's bringing that vision to life. I was a writer and content producer for PremiumBeat/Shutterstock Tutorials back in the day, so i've covered my fair share of new software come across the scene - and let me tell you, Eddie is unlike anything i've come across in my career. The video that you see up top? That rough cut was done with Eddie. The full take was uploaded to Eddie, and it helped me form the framework for the story I wanted to tell. Then, I exported it to Premiere to give it the polish treatment and the After Effects makeover. Eddie saved me at least 5 hours of work. Whether you're an archival editor looking for a way to parse through large amounts of content, a doc filmmaker looking to start building the framework of your story, or a run-and-gun production house that wants a way to speed up client commentary and collaboration - Eddie is a perfect fit for you. Parsing through hours of raw footage is now as simple as asking a question. If you've got any specific questions about video workflows, i'd be happy to show you how Eddie can fit seamlessly into your production flow! Just like Eddie, my favorite thing to do is help people. So don't be a stranger 🙂 Thank you all for your support during this launch. It's just the beginning!

Grats guys I’ve been scouring the internet for an AI that does this: I film or livestream 2 hours. “Please make this 2 hour video into as many 8-10 minute clips that make sense as you can” I’m wanting to make like 10 long form videos that make sense as stand alone videos from a long live. Can Eddie do that well?

This looks insane. Pumped to give it a shot.

does it work with arabic videos?

@shamirallibhai This is an amazing product. How should we use this with Descript?

This looks pro,using, helps me to cut through my long form videos without hiring an editor or doing it myself. I just have to review and add sound design. Voila 🤠 Kudos to the team 🥳

It has transformed my approach to project management. What features have you found most helpful in streamlining your own workflow?
