As AI continues to reshape creative industries, video editing is undergoing a major transformation.
Tools like Eddie AI are making the editing process faster, more efficient, and more accessible to filmmakers. By acting as a storytelling partner, AI can quickly generate rough cuts, find key moments in footage, and even suggest alternative storylines, all while freeing up creatives 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 assist filmmakers in streamlining the video editing process. With a background in documentary filmmaking and production work at the BBC, Shamir transitioned into tech to solve the workflow challenges he encountered in the field. His passion for storytelling drives his mission to use AI as a tool to empower creators, making the process of crafting stories more efficient and accessible to all.
