Real timeline edits
Trim, split, ripple, move, duplicate, delete, retime, close gaps, add transitions, add captions, adjust volume, and apply motion on an editable timeline.
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-aware planning
Plans can use imported assets, transcripts, visual notes, clip metadata, and current timeline context, so suggestions are grounded in the project.
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 polish
Use titles, lower thirds, shapes, brand-aware styling, camera presets, color correction, opacity, masking, and motion actions when the edit needs finish.
Local-first by default
Local project folders, local media analysis, local execution, native rendering, and encrypted storage for BYO provider keys in the desktop app.
Ready for Apple Silicon Macs
Download AVE 1.0.0, drag it into Applications, import footage, and start editing on macOS 14 or later.
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.
