VideoDraft documentation
VideoDraft ADE is a Mac app where AI agents help you make videos and build software. You can also use the same media tools in your browser, in other AI apps and in a terminal.
What you can do#
| You want to | VideoDraft can | Start with |
|---|---|---|
| Create media | Images, video, voice, music, sound effects, dialogue, dubbing, presenter videos and 3D models, from text or your own references. | AI Studio or VideoDraft mode |
| Edit a video | A real timeline on your Mac: cuts, speed ramps, transitions, captions, color, sound, multicam, and export to MP4, ProRes, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro. | VideoDraft Editor |

Where your work lives#
| Item | What it is | Where |
|---|---|---|
| ADE project and task | A project groups tasks. A task is one piece of work with its own chats and files. | Your Mac |
| Editor project (.vdproject) | A VideoDraft Editor timeline and its media list. | Your Mac |
| AI Studio project | A collection of images, video and sound you made. A few menus call it a session. | VideoDraft cloud |
| Video project | A script, storyboard and timeline in the web app. | VideoDraft cloud |
Nothing syncs between them on its own. To move media, download it from one and import it into the other.
