Cardboard - Cursor for video editing
by•
Cardboard is an agentic video editor that gets you from raw footage to final cut in minutes.
Think of it like an intelligent collaborator, one that understands what's in your clips, has the taste to know what a good edit looks like, and executes your vision.

@saksham_aggarwal7 Let's Go! This looks super disruptive, congratulations on the launch! All the best!

@porush_puri thanks porush, would love to hear your feedback!
@saksham_aggarwal7 This sounds exciting. I've been struggling to pace up the post production of our videos, it usually takes 2-3 days a video with the current setup.
Will definitely give it a shot rn!

@aaina_narang really appreciate it :)
@saksham_aggarwal7 Been struggling to get my vision down in the edit. Definitely gotta try this out. Let’s go, Ishan!

Let's go! Thank you, @yashank_jhamb ! Would love to hear what you think after you try it : )
@saksham_aggarwal7 The fact that it exports to Premiere and DaVinci shows you're not trying to replace pro tools, just eliminate the grind before the final polish. Congrats on the YC launch!

Today's editors are juggling five roles at once. They should only have to do one -- edit. We take care of the rest.

Huge fan of the product and team! What’s the most non obvious usecase of cardboard you’ve seen in the wild?

@liveink Thanks Kevin!
Honestly, we started doing this ourselves. Saksham and I throw our long meeting recordings into Cardboard and ask it to create highlight reels we can share with customers.
But the one that really surprised me was that one of our users edited his wedding video with it.

@kshitij_mishra4 Thanks Kshitij!
Great product! How does it handle longer recordings like customer calls or screen recordings where the "good parts" are buried? Does it let you describe what you're looking for semantically, or is it more keyword-based?
Cardboard
@zigapotoc Yep! You can go either way. Describe what you're looking for semantically, or search for that one specific keyword you mentioned in a webinar. Both work great.
But honestly, the best way is to just ask the agent to find the highlights. It'll figure out the sequences with the aha moments, the hooks, all of it. Would love for you to try it out!

Here are the following breaking points:
Scale. "20 ads by Thursday" or "1000 product videos this month" - traditional editors make human the bottleneck on every cut, resize, and caption. Cardboard acts as their force multiplier.
Skill. A founder / marketer knows what they want but doesn't want to spend months to learn intricacies of timeline in Premier / DaVinci. To have more control, Cardboard has a very simple and easy-to-use timeline.
Visual Understanding: Descript simplified transcript based editing but does not posses good visual understanding. Cardboard's Director agent actually has visual understanding of your footage, understands it deeply and is able to make creative decisions, not just template fills.
What we don't compete on: Long-form narrative films, advanced professional tools for color grading, VFX, frame-by-frame broadcast work. That's Premiere's job.
We're not building a better cockpit - we're building autopilot :)

The idea of describing an edit and having it execute is a huge unlock. Video editing has always been this weird paradox where you know exactly what you want but spend hours clicking through timelines to get there. Running in the browser and supporting live collaboration makes this really accessible too. Congrats on the launch and the YC backing!

@handuo that's right! people who've edited videos know how much painful the process is.
thanks for your support!

Browser enables us to build a collaborative, accessible, and agent-first experience which won't be possible with desktop apps.

@serjobas Thank you!
That's a big promise. If it works as intended, it would change everything for video editing. I bookmarked it to see how it goes in a few weeks. Best of luck to you :)
