Eddie AI has announced Feedback Mode v2, an update to its AI review tool for editors, filmmakers, producers, and post-production teams. The new version lets users give Eddie more context before it responds, including the video type, objective, platform, edit stage, and the area the notes should focus on. The idea is simple: a YouTube explainer, documentary scene, brand film, trailer, or internal company video should not all receive the same kind of edit feedback. Feedback Mode v2 is now in Eddie AI’s Mac and PC app and will be shown at Cine Gear Expo LA, so let’s take a closer look!
We’ve been following the development of Eddie AI, and there have been several recent updates, including Feedback Mode and the unified rough cut workflow, Dirty Multicam support for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. At NAB 2026, we also saw Eddie AI v3 and Night Shift in action. You can see how Night Shift works in the video below. With Feedback Mode v2, the focus now shifts from creating or organizing a rough cut to reviewing one with more context.
Feedback Mode was first introduced as a way for editors to upload a cut and receive timestamped notes on areas such as pacing, clarity, rhythm, and structure. Feedback Mode v2 builds on that by adding a structured briefing step before the review begins. The editor can now tell Eddie what kind of video it is, what it needs to accomplish, where it will be used, how far along the edit is, and what kind of feedback would be most useful.
The briefing fields include video type, objective, platform, feedback focus, edit stage, and additional direction. These can cover different formats, from social ads and course lessons to wedding films, trailers, product demos, and internal company videos. Users can also define the objective, such as informing, teaching, selling, persuading, entertaining, improving retention, or driving action.
The useful part here is not only that Eddie gives notes, but that the user can set the terms of the review. Asking for general feedback on a rough cut is one thing. Asking for feedback on a product demo for LinkedIn, with special attention to the opening hook and clarity, should lead to a different kind of response.
Feedback Mode v2 sits alongside Eddie AI’s broader set of AI-assisted editing tools, including rough cut generation, logging, B-roll support, and timeline export workflows. The company frames this as support for the middle stages of post-production, where editors and producers are shaping the story, identifying what is not working, and moving toward the next version.
This is not presented as a replacement for editorial judgment, but as a way to give editors a focused review pass based on the needs of the project. Whether the notes are useful will depend on how well they reflect the brief, but the direction is clear: Eddie AI is trying to make AI feedback less generic and more tied to the actual edit in front of the user.
Eddie AI will demonstrate Feedback Mode v2 at Cine Gear Expo LA, taking place June 5-6, 2026, at the Universal Studios Lot in Universal City, California. The company will be at Booth S1611 in Stage 16, where attendees can see how the new briefing system works on real cuts.
Feedback Mode v2 is now available in Eddie AI’s Mac and PC app via New Project > Show Me All Modes. For more information and to test out the program if you haven’t already, please visit the Eddie AI website.
Would context-aware AI feedback be useful in your editing workflow? Would you trust AI-generated edit notes more if you could brief the tool first? Let us know in the comments!

A camera was put in my hands at 16, and I’ve been taking photographs ever since. Before moving to Vienna, I worked as a photographer on film sets, telling stories as they unfolded behind the scenes. Since then, I’ve focused on immersive theater, both as a photographer and an actor. I am the photographer for the award-winning Nesterval ensemble, documenting the energy and atmosphere of their performances. I’m a teller of stories. Stories hold my interest. I’ll take on any project with a story to tell.
