Reimagining Post: AI-Powered Rough Cuts Editing Overnight

This is a sponsored podcast in partnership with Eddie AI.

In this sponsored episode of the No Film School Podcast, GG Hawkins speaks with Eddie AI co-founder and CEO Shamir Allibhai about Eddie AI’s latest release, Eddie v3, which launched today, April 14, 2026, ahead of NAB Show 2026. Their conversation explores the new Night Shift workflow, designed to process footage overnight by sorting interviews from B-roll, syncing multicam interviews, logging media, and building a rough cut ready for Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro by morning.

They also discuss Eddie’s expanding role as an AI assistant editor for professional workflows, including docu-style rough cuts with B-roll placement, and the broader questions filmmakers face around creative control, sustainability, curiosity, and the future of storytelling in an AI-assisted post-production landscape.

In this episode, we****discuss:

• Eddie AI’s new Night Shift feature and how it aims to build a structured rough cut overnight
• Why the company positions Eddie AI as an assistant editor rather than a replacement for Premiere, Resolve, or Final Cut Pro
• How AI can help with multicam syncing, A-roll and B-roll organization, logging, and assembly edits
• The difference between AI tools that generate synthetic media and tools built to work from a filmmaker’s real footage
• Why editing still depends on human taste, timing, emotional judgment, and story instinct
• How AI tools may help filmmakers handle paid client work more efficiently while protecting time for passion projects
• The tension between fear and curiosity as filmmakers adapt to new technology
• How creative professionals can think about money, sustainability, and long-term career support without sidelining the art
• Why Allibhai sees storytelling as a fundamentally human act, even in a future shaped by AI
• What filmmakers should watch for around security, ownership, and platform terms when using AI tools
