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.

The Cursor analogy is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Cursor works well partly because code has clear structure, but video editing involves a lot of subjective judgment calls around pacing, tone, cuts. Curious what the 'taste' model actually looks like in practice and how much back-and-forth is typically needed to get to a cut you'd actually use.
The "search footage by what's in it" feature is what actually caught my eye. I have hours of raw recordings where I'm digging through manually to find a specific moment, and if that works reliably it alone would save me a ton of time. Going to sign up and test it with some recent product demos I've been putting off editing.

Video editing has always felt like it was designed for people who do it professionally, not engineers who just need to put together a clear technical walkthrough. The ability to describe the edit in plain language and have the agent execute it sounds like it could get you to a usable first cut without the usual timeline frustration.
