How to scale video editing with an AI storytelling partner

How to scale video editing with an AI storytelling partner

As AI continues to reshape the creative industry, video editing is undergoing a major transformation.

Tools like Eddie AI make the editing process faster, more efficient and more accessible for filmmakers. By acting as a storytelling partner, AI can quickly create rough cuts, find key moments in footage, and even suggest alternative storylines, all while giving creatives more time to focus on the art of storytelling. This episode explores how AI is changing the landscape of post-production, addressing both the excitement and concerns about its growing role in filmmaking.

Shamir Allibhai is the co-founder and CEO of Eddie AI, an innovative tool designed to help filmmakers streamline the video editing process. With a background in documentary filmmaking and production at the BBC, Shamir moved into technology to solve the workflow challenges he faced in the field. His passion for storytelling drives his mission to use AI as a tool to empower creators and make the story creation process more efficient and accessible to all.

Today’s NFS podcast is hosted by Jourdan Aldredge, our esteemed tech editor at No Film School. Jourdan has years of experience with filmmaking tools, techniques and trends and is a filmmaker and author himself. Luckily for us, he brings a unique perspective on the marriage of technology and storytelling.
