Install
Four steps to the first edit.
The download is a standard Mac DMG. Open it, move AVE into Applications, then start a local project.
- Download AVE for Mac.
- Open the DMG and drag AVE into Applications.
- Launch AVE and choose the AI setup you want to use.
- Import footage, ask for an edit, review the plan, and export locally.
After install
Start small, then unlock bigger projects.
You do not need to buy Pro before testing AVE. Free lets you edit and try AI on small projects. Pro gives you more room when AVE becomes part of real work.
Import real footage
Bring in local video, audio, graphics, generated clips, or client footage. AVE treats them as editable project assets, not as one-off uploads.
Try a focused AI edit
Ask for search, captions, trims, a rough cut, or a platform variant. Free is useful for small projects. Pro gives bigger projects more room.
