Overview

Eddie AI is an assistant editor for people who edit footage for a living. You describe the story you want, and Eddie logs and transcribes your clips, finds soundbites, removes filler words and builds a rough cut. Then it returns a project you can open in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro.

Who it fits

Eddie’s own pages say it is built for interview-driven work such as documentaries, corporate video and podcasts. It also offers a web app, desktop app, iPhone app, API, CLI and an MCP server, so an agent in Claude or ChatGPT can run edits.

What the plans include

Eddie sells credit packs instead of subscriptions: $10 for 1,000 credits up to $350 for 50,000, and new accounts start with 500 free credits. Credits cover imports, each edit and generated extras, and the packs do not expire.

Limits and alternatives

Because credits are metered, long footage uses more of them, and Eddie shows an estimate before big jobs. Descript edits video through its transcript, Palmier Pro is a Mac editor that agents can operate over MCP, and DaVinci Resolve is a full editor with AI tools.

Who it's for

A good fit if you are…

  • Editors and producers who work from interview footage and want a faster first assembly
  • People who want an agent such as Claude or ChatGPT to drive edits through MCP

Another tool may suit you better if you are…

  • Anyone who wants a flat subscription (it sells credit packs)
  • Beginners who want templates and one-click social videos

Pricing

Pay as you go with credit packs: $10 for 1,000, $45 for 5,000, $120 for 15,000, $350 for 50,000; new accounts start with 500 free credits. As of Oct 2026, verify.

  • Eddie says credits are spent on importing footage, each edit requested in chat, and generated extras such as music and voiceover.
  • Credit packs never expire and no subscription is required, according to Eddie's pricing section.
  • Eddie lists enterprise plans with SSO, team workspaces and on-prem options on request.
