AVE 1.2.2 Release Notes
Status: Released. Version 1.2.2, macOS build 34.
Public release: https://github.com/lemberalla/ave-releases-v2/releases/tag/v1.2.2
Highlights
- Select multiple video assets and use Batch Selects to find clean, usable ranges in each recording while keeping every source separate.
- Review AVE's suggested keeps, removals, and shot boundaries before creating a new sequence. Existing media and timelines stay unchanged until you approve.
- Ask the Assistant or a connected MCP agent to open the same Batch Selects review without conflicting with an active timeline edit.
- Refined multi-asset controls into a compact floating action bar with clear Rename, Analyze, Selects, Move, and Delete actions.
- Fixed Smart Rename plans being incorrectly marked stale when remembered footage labels were used as naming evidence.
- Added quick access to AVE Guides from the editor footer and Settings.

Known Constraints
- Batch Selects requires analyzed video evidence. AVE asks the user to analyze sources that do not yet have enough evidence.
- Accepting the review creates a new sequence; it does not modify existing sequences or source files.
- Manual installation and the in-app update path from AVE 1.2.1 were not exercised for this release; the user waived that smoke after signing, notarization, stapling, Gatekeeper, mounted-app, package, and live-feed verification passed.
