About

AVE is a local-first, Mac-native AI video editor. Your footage, project files, timeline edits, and exports stay on your Mac by default, with external AI only when the job calls for it.

AVE is built on three convictions about how AI belongs in real editing work.

The full non-linear editor stays useful with or without AI. Touch clips, tracks, trims, transitions, captions, and export settings by hand at any time.

AVE turns a rough brief into a structured plan. Approved work becomes visible timeline edits, so you can see what changed and keep control.

Project files, imported media, local analysis, timeline execution, and exports stay on your Mac unless you explicitly connect an external assistant or API.
