🏆 First, thank you to everyone who has supported AVstudio over the past few years.
What started as a cloud-based GUI editor has now been used by more than 1,000 AV developers worldwide and thousands of projects.
As we worked on AVstudio Editor Next Generation, one thing became clear: the AV industry is rapidly standardizing around modern developer tools.
Rather than creating another proprietary IDE, we decided to build directly on the VS Code ecosystem.
AVstudio Editor is now a VS Code extension and runs anywhere the VS Code Extension API is supported, including:
- VS Code
- Cursor
- Windsurf
- Antigravity
- VSCodium
Use the editor you prefer. Keep your workflow. Keep your AI tools.
What’s different under the hood?
- All project files are stored locally
- Standard folder structure and human-readable files
- Full Git compatibility
- Branching, merging, and source control using familiar tools
- Visual side-by-side comparison between revisions
- AI-assisted development with the editor of your choice
- Work completely offline
- No vendor lock-in
The cloud editor served us well, but AVstudio Editor Next Generation is designed to become its successor.
We believe the future of AV development should be built on open standards rather than proprietary ecosystems.
Most importantly, we want your honest feedback.
Tell us what you like. Tell us what you don’t like. Tell us what is missing.
We are not looking for loyalty or praise. We are looking for the truth.
Good products are built by listening to users, challenging assumptions, and continuously improving. We don’t plan to silence criticism - we plan to learn from it.
If something can be better, we want to hear it.
