Real timeline edits
Trim, split, ripple, retime, and snap clips on an editable timeline. Remove dead air and filler words from transcript timing, then add transitions, captions, audio automation, and motion.
Local-first AI video editor for Mac
A Mac-native editor where AI can actually operate the timeline.
AVE is for creators and teams who want AI help without giving up local control. Ask for a cut, review the plan, approve real timeline edits, and export from your Mac.
Footage intelligence
Search and rank imported assets with transcripts, visual notes, metadata, and timeline context, then preview source moments before adding them to the edit.
Media generation
Generate video and images with Google Veo, Google Nano Banana, Runway, Luma, Kling, fal.ai, Seedance. AVE adapts the setup to the selected provider, then saves completed results directly into Assets.
Footage Memory
Teach AVE the people, places, products, and subjects you recognize, then recall confirmed source moments across your local projects.
Multi-format editing
Create deliverables for 16:9, 4:5, 1:1, 9:16, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Shorts, YouTube, websites, and custom formats.
Graphics and finishing
Design titles, lower thirds, and shapes with layers, direct canvas resizing, brand styling, camera tools, color correction, chroma key, masks, and motion.
Local AI included
AVE includes its Local AI engine plus starter vision and caption models. Project files, media analysis, timeline edits, and native exports stay on your Mac by default.
Smart asset organization
Turn camera filenames into collection-aware AVE names using visual, transcript, metadata, and project context. Review, edit, or exclude every proposal while original files stay unchanged.
Import and analyze
Bring in video, audio, or graphics. AVE builds useful project context from filenames, metadata, transcripts, visual notes, and timeline state.
Ask or Plan
Use Ask for direction, search, captions, and smaller edits. Use Plan when a project-aware edit should be previewed before execution.
Approve real edits
AVE can create sequences, select clips, trim, add transitions, build captions, style graphics, and close gaps after you approve the plan.
Export locally
Refine by hand, run export preflight, and render finished MP4 deliverables from the native Mac app.
