AI Video Editor

AVE is a local-first AI video editor for Mac. It helps creators import footage, analyze transcripts and visual notes, search by what appears or is said in clips, then turn selected footage into reviewable timeline work. AVE is useful for launch videos, B-roll search, interview highlights, generated-footage assembly, and private local editing where the project should stay on the Mac by default.

📌

Hi again Product Hunt, I built AVE because I kept wanting the AI layer in a video editor to understand my own footage before trying to make anything. The first wedge is asset intelligence: import local clips, analyze transcripts and visual notes, search for moments by intent, then turn selected shots into reviewable timeline edits. It is Mac-first and local-first, so projects, media, analysis, timeline edits, and exports stay on the Mac by default. AVE is early, but the shape is finally right enough to start showing.

Smart Rename in AVE: context-aware video names without touching your original files

AVE could already analyze footage locally and distinguish what was happening in different clips but the asset library could still be full of names like IMG_4821, MERT8581, or butterfly_2.

That felt wrong. If an AI video editor understands that one clip contains a red butterfly and another contains a blue butterfly, those distinctions should be reflected in how the footage is organized.

So I shipped Smart Rename in AVE.

It uses the project context and AVE s local analysis to suggest distinct, descriptive names across a collection. Every suggestion is reviewable and editable before applying. You can exclude clips, undo the operation, and keep the names through save, reopen, and relink.
