Eddie AI Integrates with Iconik to Bring Agentic AI-Supported Video Editing Into Media Asset Management Workflows

New integration connects Iconik’s media management platform with Eddie AI’s agentic video editing assistant; live demos available at Cine Gear Expo LA 2026

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eddie AI, the agentic AI video editing assistant for professional video teams, today announced a new integration with Iconik, the creative operations and media asset management platform from Backlight.

The integration helps creative teams move faster from managed media to editable story. With Iconik as the source of truth for assets and Eddie AI as the assistant editor, teams can bring selected Iconik assets and connected proxies into Eddie, generate smarter logs and selects, create topic-based stringouts and organized bins, build rough cuts, and export sequences to professional NLEs including Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, seamlessly relinking clips back in Iconik.

For editors and content operations teams, the result is a more direct path from asset management to post-production. Raw footage, including complex multicams, is transformed by Eddie AI into logs, selects, rough cuts, and editorial starting points that editors can refine instead of starting from an empty timeline.

“Iconik and Eddie AI’s agentic assistant video editor accelerates the tedious parts of the creative process by connecting rich media management and collaboration tools to the story creation process,” said Mike Szumlinski, the CTO of Backlight. “This helps our shared customers scale their output and move faster than ever to deliver finished content.”

The integration is aimed at professional video teams, content operations teams, brands, agencies, and media organizations that need to create more video from growing libraries of interviews, B-roll, events, podcasts, brand films, and archival footage.

“Media asset management helps teams unify their footage,” said Shamir Allibhai, co-founder and CEO of Eddie AI. “What Eddie adds is the next step: swiftly turning that footage into cuts. With Iconik and Eddie AI together, teams get to a structured rough cut in minutes, while keeping editors in control of the creative decisions that matter.”

Eddie AI is designed for enterprise-grade workflows where privacy and security are critical and there is no training on customer content.

Eddie AI will demonstrate the new Iconik workflow at Cine Gear Expo LA 2026, taking place June 5–6 at the Universal Studios Lot in Universal City, California. Attendees can see Eddie AI + Iconik live at Booth S1611, Stage 16, where the Eddie team will show how teams can move from Iconik-managed assets to AI-assisted logs, selects, rough cuts, and NLE-ready timelines.
