A new desktop AI video agent can work with local project files, client feedback and editing applications on Mac and PC. YouArt announced the YouArt Desktop App on November 13, describing it as a tool for work from research through final export.

With permission, the agent can operate Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut and Blender by navigating menus, clicking and entering commands. The app is designed to work with creators' existing projects, templates and plugins.

Feedback on the project canvas

Client feedback sent through Slack or Gmail can be brought into the app's project canvas as comments pinned to a relevant shot, frame or creative element. The agent can use those comments to make revisions, which the creator reviews before deciding what to keep.

The canvas also holds footage, scripts, brand assets and generated clips, alongside comments and version history. That gives the creator and agent access to the materials and revisions associated with a project.

The app also includes Chat to Edit, which lets a creator select an element and request changes in natural language. The agent makes targeted revisions while leaving the rest of the project intact, and manual timeline controls remain available for adjustments.

Editing and research tools

For a product launch video, a marketing team can use existing product and brand materials to develop a storyboard, visuals and motion graphics. Animations made in the desktop app can be exported to After Effects for further refinement, with the team reviewing and adjusting the work.

Reusable agent skills cover tasks including story development, shot planning, commercial video production and motion design. Built-in browser tabs support research, reference gathering and the use of web tools; users can see when the agent is operating a page and take control.

Models and pricing

Users can bring their own API keys to connect to third-party providers including Higgsfield, fal and BytePlus. YouArt says the app's smart routing system compares provider prices and automatically selects the lowest-priced option for the chosen model.

For Seedance 2.5 video generation at 720p, the pay-as-you-go rate is $0.208 per second. The rate is $0.138 per second with the YouArt Max yearly plan.

The app supports image and video generation, voiceovers, music, lip sync and avatars alongside its built-in models. The workflow supports ElevenLabs v3 for voiceovers and Suno for original music.

Clips and film projects

For social media work, the app can research trending videos and analyze their hooks, pacing and structure. An AutoClip workflow can turn long-form footage into short clips with captions and formatting for specific platforms, for publishing or scheduling.

For feature launches, teams can use product documentation, pitch decks and brand assets to develop storyboards, demonstrations and promotional videos, then review and refine the result. The app also supports script development, storyboarding, consistent characters, scene generation and collaborative editing for film projects.
