Enhanced NLE integration and file compatibility:
- Eddie has been edited in over 30 languages. Import interviews in any of dozens of new languages. (Excluding Klingons.)
- Black Magic Cloud and NAS Support: Eddie AI supports Network Attached Storage (NAS) and BlackMagic Cloud. boom.
- NLE Proxy: If you create a proxy in NLE, the editor will pull them instead of source media and make it quick to import them
- Updated the Eddie extension for Resolve: Eddie is more stable for Davinci to resolve imports and performs better on large projects.
- FCP Simple Timeline: When you first interview with the Timeline in FCP, you can now drop the FCP Timeline into Eddie's rough cut mode. We already support importing timelines from Adobe Premiere Pro and Davinci Resolve to Eddie.
- Accurate timecode and reference: Why are start timecodes interpreted differently by vendor? We solved that, so linking is smoother.
- Support for Davinci Resolve on the Apple App Store: Addressed an issue with Resolve installed from the Apple App Store.
- Optimized Clip Import: Importing large batches of clips for B-roll logging is more efficient and resolves the timeout issue.
- High frame rate support: Supports 90, 100, 119.88, and 120 FPS
- Fixed Premiere Pro motion effects: The latest version of Premiere Pro introduces a bug that lacks motion effects in the editing sequence. This has been resolved.
- Preventing Metadata Replication: This system helps users avoid importing FCP clips that already contain metadata.
Enhanced user experience and account management:
- Pay-as-you-go payments, no subs required: Gig to gig? Everything is good. Purchase credits without a subscription and use them as needed.
- Simplified subscription management: An in-app flow for unsubscribe and reactivate accounts has been introduced, and direct access to the user's billing portal from “Manage Accounts” eliminates the need for a separate email sign-in.
- Expanding language support: Defines the default language in which you want to transcribe the video.
Improved multicam and project workflows:
- Improved multicam error handling: Multicam errors and warning messages become clearer, and some projects can be imported with warnings rather than completely failing, giving you more flexibility.
- Robust B- and A-roll treatment: Particularly under heavy loads, the processing of B-roll, A-roll, and script projects has been significantly improved, ensuring smoother performance.
- Automatic multicam activation: Eddie will automatically switch to Multicam mode when a Multicam clip is imported into Eddie.

- Robust export stability: Dozens of updates have been made here, improving stability.
- Smart Rough Cut Export: Rough Cut Export now includes chapter names as timeline markers for ranges.
