According to the dictionary it is pronounced Eee-On, and it the way I’ve always pronounced it, but on previous videos on Youtube, everyone was pronouncing it Aaa-On.
What is the official pronunciation for the software?

If you watched my video, don’t take that into account! I’m german and probably don’t pronounce it correctly.
No, it wasn’t you, 
I’m talking about videos made for Aeon Timeline 2 by various people on Youtube.
Hi @Leisa,
You say tomaaato, I say tomayto.
I have heard both pronunciations of Aeon. But I would opt for Eee-on every time. There is a similar divergence in the pronunciation of Beta; Bee-ta or Bay-ta. Ugh, don’t even get me started down this road.
Hi @Leisa
I’ll second ee-on.
A bit of searching online for word origins:
eon (n.)
1640s, from Late Latin aeon, from Greek aiōn “age, vital force; a period of existence, a lifetime, a generation; a long space of time,” in plural, “eternity,” from PIE root *aiw- “vital force, life, long life, eternity.” Related: Eonian; eonic.
A fitting name for a timeline (or time line)—the first known use of this term in print, according to Merriam-Webster, was in 1951 (the same year as nit-picking). 
Be bold. Embrace new language. Don’t fear the day-mons (daemons) lurking in your dip-hit-hongs (diphthongs).
It’s Aaa-on. Like my appetizer is a say-sahr (Caesar) salad.
Trust me. My knowledge of such things is encyclo-pay-dic (encyclopaedic).
I draw the line with flora, though. I refuse to tip-tee (tiptoe) through the tulips.

I have always pronounced it “Ee-on” too, but I do it in an Australian accent.
When we got our voice actor to read out version 2 scripts, he did them all as “Ay-on”, and when I asked him to change it, he said, “I always say it is ee-on, but when I listened to your example recording I thought you were saying “ay-on”, so I figured that was how you pronounced your product name”.
So maybe I say it both ways depending on your ears?
Kinda like the Yanni or Laurel controversy. 
I still hear Laurel.
