EditWithAva

your AI assistant video editor

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... See more

Discussion

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.
