Bring your own AI
Reason and generate your way.
AVE separates the editor from the model. The app does the local timeline work; you choose where the reasoning comes from.
Your CLI assistant
Already have Claude, Codex, or Qwen set up on your machine? AVE can use your installed CLI assistant for planning and edit suggestions.
Your own API key
Bring an OpenAI, Anthropic, or OpenAI-compatible endpoint. You pay your provider directly; AVE never resells compute or meters your usage.
Your generation providers
Generate video and images with Google Veo, Google Nano Banana, Runway, Luma, Kling, fal.ai, Seedance. AVE uses your provider account and imports completed media directly into Assets.
Pay once
Pay once. Keep AVE Pro.
Lifetime includes the same Pro features as Monthly with a single payment. If you prefer a smaller upfront payment, Monthly remains optional. See the full breakdown on the pricing page.
Buy AVE Pro Lifetime once and keep Pro without recurring editor payments. Monthly is available only if you prefer it.
AVE does not sell AI credits or bill by the minute. You bring the intelligence; AVE is the local editor that runs it.
During the trial or with Pro, run local models without an extra AVE compute fee, or connect your own assistant or API provider.
Your footage, project files, analysis, and exports stay on your Mac unless you connect a provider on purpose.
Generate video and images with Google Veo, Google Nano Banana, Runway, Luma, Kling, fal.ai, Seedance, then edit the results as normal AVE assets.

Yes. Lifetime includes the same Pro features as Monthly for $99 lifetime with a single payment. Try Pro free for seven days. No card required.
Does AVE Free add a watermark?
No. AVE Free has unlimited manual projects, sequences, and local export without a watermark. Pro adds transcript editing, speech cleanup, automatic captions, analysis, and AI-assisted editing.
Does the one-time price include AI usage?
