Cardboard - Cursor for video editing

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.

How does Cardboard determine "good taste" in editing decisions, and to what extent can users override or customize its creative choices?

Good taste is subjective, whenever it is not sure, it'll ask you questions.

When the agent is done - you can manipulate anything you want in a traditional timeline that's much easier to use.

Hence you can override by manually adjusting things and customise by answering the questions

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?

Ishan Sharma

@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!

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!

Saksham Aggarwal

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

thanks for your support!

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 :)
