Creators and editors
Find the clip, tighten the story, add captions, and keep the edit available for hand polish.
Use cases
Where AVE fits into real video work.
AVE is strongest when you already have footage, a messy brief, and a deadline. It helps you find the edit, build the first pass, and keep full timeline control.
Marketers and launch teams
Turn one footage pool into launch cuts, social variants, website clips, and paid creative tests.
Teams with private footage
Start from local projects and opt into external assistants or providers only when the work allows it.
Workflows
Use AVE for the cuts that usually take too many passes.
Each workflow below maps to a real AVE path: import footage, analyze context, ask or plan, approve timeline changes, then refine by hand.
Short-form clips from long footage
Turn podcasts, launch footage, interviews, and event recordings into vertical clips without manually hunting every usable moment.
Example request Find the strongest 30 seconds, make a 9:16 cut, remove dead air, add captions, and keep the punchline intact.
Read workflow Launch videos and campaign variants
Build launch cuts, ads, founder clips, feature explainers, and social variants from one footage pool while keeping timeline control.
Example request Turn this product footage into a launch cut, then make platform variants for website, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Shorts.
Read workflow YouTube, podcast, and interview editing
Use transcript search, visual search, and plan previews to turn talking footage into tighter episodes, highlights, and promotional clips.
Example request Find the best argument and the funniest reaction, tighten the dead air, and create a 45-second highlight with captions.
Read workflow Private client and internal video work
Edit sensitive footage on your Mac by default, then choose whether to connect external assistants, APIs, or generation providers.
Example request Analyze these local assets, make an internal update cut, avoid uploading footage unless I explicitly choose a provider.
Read workflow Generated footage assembly
Use AVE as the editing layer around generated clips: prepare prompts, import outputs, search assets, build a timeline, and finish by hand.
Example request Import these generated clips, find the most usable moments, build a clean sequence, and leave the edit ready for manual polish.
