The AVE file extension is associated with Avid Video Composer, a program developed by Avid Technology, Inc. It is widely used in editing and manipulating videos for both recreational and professional purposes. The program can be used to compress videos, store them in different formats, and also convert one type of video into another.
In Depth
The Avid Video Editor is part of the overall suite of programs from Avid Technology called the Avid Media Composer. This suite of software allows users to edit, organize, and manipulate audio and video content to make movies, television shows, documentaries and other media productions. The AVE format is an encoding format that is used to save user files in the Avid Video Editor. AVE files are similar to MP4 files but are encoded with attributes specific to the Avid Video Software. Typically, AVE files contain video footage, but audio components can also be included.
Besides the AVE files, additional file types are supported by Avid Technology products: AAF (.AAF), MXF (.MXF), QuickTime Movie (.MOV), Windows Media (.WMV), Broadcast Wave Format (BWF/WAV) and MXF-Multimedia Exchange Format. It is possible to create multiple versions of a film by converting the original file format into one of these alternatives.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .AVE) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .AVE extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .AVE file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .AVE extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .AVE extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .AVE file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .AVE file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .AVE file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .AVE file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .AVE file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
