Ava is the world’s first AI assistant video editor that works with your own footage to turn ideas into publish-ready videos. This works by semantically understanding your footage to auto-select scenes, cut retakes, and assemble edits exactly to your creative intent incl. b-roll, captions, voiceovers, and much more.

@curiouskitty We have a credit-based pricing model where the credits only depend on the runtime of the rendered videos. Necessary revisions do count extra right now but we're planning to introduce free limits and/or bundling options to make it even easier. Creators therefore don't have to worry about whether their requests are easier or harder to process and can easily approximate the expected costs.
I like the idea. I have two use cases where I need video processing:
Yachting with IT entrepreneurs. Once a year I organize a yachting trip with IT entrepreneurs from all over the world. We end up with a lot of different videos and photos afterward. So, can I upload around 100 videos and your service will generate a ready 1–2 minute highlight reel? And how will it understand which shots are the most beautiful and interesting?
Right now, we’re finalizing an AI travel startup. I need to create a Product Hunt demo with screen recordings, zoom-ins, and voice commentary. If I record the screen separately and film myself with comments, can I then assemble the video in your service? Or would it be better to look at something more specialized for that?
Thanks in advance for your answers)

@mykyta_semenov_ Hey Mykyta! Right now Ava is heavily specialized on editing video and less on 'augmentation' if that makes sense. So the first case should work beautifully, and if you plan ahead and shoot the right stuff, I'd even say Ava can do more than just a highlight reel, she could help you create a whole social media video stack from short highlight reels, to longer talking head/interview-style content, all the way down to ads if you want to promote it with paid media. :)
For the second use case, this does work, and I use this for myself. But it requires that the input screen recording is already as clean as possible (e.g., Ava won't do good zoom-ins for you, as she hasn't been trained on this yet, in the way that a specialized app such as @Screen Studio is. BUT if you do have a talking head video where you film yourself and a screenrecording that is already cleaned via a tool like Screen Studio, Ava should then be able to assemble something for you as well).
tl;dr: Ava doesn't do any motion graphics/is currently optimized for real-world footage, but if you help her a bit in terms of footage input, she should be able to handle more specialized cases as well.
Let me know if you have any further questions!

Good Morning Product Hunt Community! 👋
And thank you @benln for hunting us 🙏
I'm Matthias, co-founder of EditWithAva and I am so excited to launch for the first time on PH! We built this because we lived the problem ourselves. 👇
Video has become a pillar of modern communication, but the process of going from raw footage, to first edit(s) has barely changed in the last 37 years. As a founder and creator myself, I spent every free weekend I had, sorting footage, editing talking-head content down, and finding the fitting b-roll. And then for the short-form edits, I had to repeat the whole process again from scratch. The creative part was fun, but it was the 80% assembly work that burnt me out.
It shouldn’t take days or weeks to get to a first edit. So we asked ourselves: what if editing was as simple as describing the video you want?
Ava fixes that.
Link your google drive with raw footage (up to 3 hours)
Describe the edit, the way you might brief a junior editor (script/brief/etc.)
Get a polished short-form video (max. 2 min) with cleaned audio, B-roll, captions, & more
No timeline. No technical skills. Just conversation.
Who’s EditWithAva for?
Solo editors & agencies tired of repetitive editing tasks
UGC creators, social media, and brand teams producing at scale
Anyone who films talking-head, educational, or promo content
What makes Ava different?
Unlike generative AI or clipping tools, Ava is like having a content team in your pocket, that can work with the messiness that is your real footage. She watches, labels, and understands your content. Then assembles edits based on your creative intent. She can even help draft scripts/storyboards based on references or narrate your videos if you don’t have a voiceover file. And if you need changes or variations, simply tell her.
Coming soon:
longer output lengths (up to 20mins)
use video(s) as reference
VFX/SFX/transitions
brand/style templates
We'd love your feedback on:
First impressions of the editing flow
What's missing for your workflow?
Use cases we haven't thought of yet
Special offer for the PH community: your first 5 videos are free, and if you reach out and schedule an onboarding call, we offer a 30% discount on all plans for the first 3 months.
We're a small team (myself, Adrian, and Dominik), we’re just started and genuinely want to hear what works and what doesn't.
Drop a comment, try it out, roast us — all is welcome. 🙏
I'm specifically interested in if it can reliably make a video from a large collection of footage on its own by understanding what the footage is, what the best shots are, when given a recording of a script. Have you tested this?
EditWithAva
@buster_franken1 great question buster!! the biggest pool we've tried our tech on so far, was a combined pool of roughly 40hrs of video material. But at that point, it really helps to give Ava targeted advice on what you need and in which folders she should reference which shots.
But script recording + zero shot 'find the best clips' using an uncleaned footage pool works surprisingly well
@matthiasrossini wowww sick, okay I'm gonna give that a try! 40h is approx. what I have
EditWithAva
@buster_franken1 Looking forward to that :) But as a side note, 40h is more than than you can submit with the free tier but just contact us and we'll see what we can do.
Congrats on the launch! Turning a rough brief into a polished short-form edit without touching a timeline is a compelling shift. How does Ava balance following the exact script/brief versus identifying stronger moments in the raw footage that might perform better on social?
EditWithAva
@vik_sh if you give ava an exact brief, ava will try her best to follow the exact brief given the available footage. so basically it really depends on the prompt, if you give a more vague prompt, that's when ava will optimize more for performance on social :)

@vouchy every weekend for the first 6 months of starting my youtube channel! it's a tough pay off, especially for smaller creators that don't get as much feedback/reward for the effort they out in
For teams producing training content at scale — does Ava maintain consistent style across multiple videos once you've set it up? That's usually where AI video tools fall apart when you go from one video to twenty.

@klara_minarikova hey klara! in the current beta that is 'solved' through editor exports, for the brands to add their custom branding afterwards. But we also offer brand-customization for corporate accounts, where you have more fine-grained control over things like editing style, brand-voices, captions, & guidelines.
@matthiasrossini The corporate brand-voices feature is exactly what L&D teams need. Is that available on a specific plan, or does it require a custom agreement?
EditWithAva
@klara_minarikova custom agreement right now! happy to show you a few use cases on a call of how it looks like :)
@matthiasrossini Custom agreement makes sense for that level of control. Not in a position to explore it right now, but I'll keep it in mind when the timing is right.
