Eddy docs

How Eddy Studio, the agentic video editor for Mac, works, for creators and for the AI agents they use.

Eddy Studio is a Mac app that edits your talking-head and screen recordings for you. You drop in raw footage, and Eddy cleans the sound, cuts the retakes, adds captions and motion graphics, and renders a long video plus up to 3 Shorts. You ask for changes in chat, and most of what Eddy changes can be undone (what can't).

These docs describe what the app does today. Where something isn't confirmed yet, the page says Unknown, Not yet or Not final instead of guessing. The tables of agent tools, AI Tools, caption styles, edit stages and Mac requirements are generated from the app's source code, and the docs won't build if a page disagrees with the app.

The proof

LAB-0024, from the founder's own YouTube show, edited with the engine that ships in the Eddy beta: the long video and one of its Shorts. Nothing loads from YouTube until you click play.

For AI agents

If you are an agent, start at /llms.txt. It lists every page, and each page has a plain Markdown copy at the same address ending in .md. /llms-full.txt has all of them in one file.

What Eddy is not

It is not a cloud editor. Your footage stays on your Mac.
It never publishes for you. Nothing goes to YouTube unless you click Upload yourself, and whether that upload works in the beta is still unknown.
It is not for Intel Macs or Windows.

30-second fit check

Three questions before you apply. Your answers stay in this page: nothing is saved or sent.

Is your Mac Apple silicon (M1 or later), on macOS 13 or later, with 16 GB of memory? Yes No

Good. Eddy runs on that Mac and your footage stays there.

Eddy won't run on an Intel Mac or on macOS older than 13. With less memory it warns you that edits may be slow or stop. See the full list.

Do you pay for ChatGPT or Claude? Yes No

Good. Eddy edits through that plan. You sign in once, in your browser; Eddy never uses an API key.

Eddy needs one of them to edit. Either one is enough.

Are you OK with an edit taking hours, not minutes? Yes No

Good. Eddy keeps your Mac awake while it works. How long an edit takes is not measured yet, so plan for hours.

Eddy isn't for fast turnarounds yet. See how an edit works.

Three yeses: Eddy fits how you work.

A "no" doesn't stop you applying, but read its note first so the beta isn't a surprise.

Tables marked as generated are rebuilt from the source every time, and the build stops if a page disagrees with the app. Not every behaviour here has been hand-tested in the beta build.
