Creators, editors, founders, social teams
Short-form clips from long footage.
Turn podcasts, launch footage, interviews, and event recordings into vertical clips without manually hunting every usable moment.
The job
What makes this workflow annoying.
The work is not just resizing a video. You still need the opening hook, the usable quote, the reaction shot, the caption pass, and a timeline you can fix by hand.
Example AVE request Find the strongest 30 seconds, make a 9:16 cut, remove dead air, add captions, and keep the punchline intact.
Workflow
How this works in AVE.
AVE keeps the edit in a local Mac timeline while AI helps find material, build a plan, and execute the mechanical pass.
- Import long footage and analyze transcripts or visual notes.
- Ask AVE to find strong reactions, quotes, openings, or product moments.
- Plan a 9:16, 4:5, 1:1, or 16:9 deliverable.
- Approve the edits, refine by hand, then export locally.
Why AVE
Where the editor matters.
Searches speech and visual notes before you start cutting.
Creates platform-format sequences instead of only suggesting ideas.
Keeps captions, trims, and gaps visible on the timeline.
