Cursor for video editing
675 followers
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.
Video editing is the bottleneck for every YouTube creator I talk to. The ideas and scripting part can be fast, but then you spend 6 hours cutting and trimming. If this does for video what Cursor did for coding, I want to see it in action. How does it handle multicam or footage with a lot of cuts? That's usually where AI editors fall apart.

@aitubespark Glad the analogy resonates!
On multicam, it works really well for podcasts already. Some of our users have been producing results that honestly surprised even us. (Was literally shipping audio sync for this last week: https://x.com/ishandeveloper/status/2030957527018741892)
That said, there's a lot more we can do and we have a bunch of things on the roadmap. Curious, what are some of the use cases you have in mind? Would love to learn.

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

Love the product!
What specific part of the 'steep learning curve' have you solved with Cardboard?
Cardboard
Traditional video editors force you to learn the timeline, keyframes, layers, color correction, audio mixing, export settings... and each skill takes weeks to get decent at. With Cardboard, you can skip that 'steep learning curve'

@saksham_aggarwal7 Impressive
How does Cardboard determine "good taste" in editing decisions, and to what extent can users override or customize its creative choices?
Cardboard
@mordrag
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?
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!
this looks incredibly exciting, congrats on the launch. does it resync the timeline if we change the music later? that’s honestly my biggest pain point in editing videos.

@gourish_narang
yes, just ask it "hey i just changed the music to @mentionthetrackhere - can you resync the timeline?"
"Cursor for video editing" — okay you have my attention. As someone who uses Cursor daily for coding, the idea of an AI that actually understands what's in my footage and makes editing decisions for me sounds incredible. I've been wanting to make short demo videos for my apps but always gave up at the editing stage because it takes forever. If this can take raw screen recordings and turn them into polished product demos, I'm sold. Is that a use case you support, or is it more focused on podcast/talking-head content?

@sparkuu
Yes, in fact this is a use case that has got good traction as well. We can do product demos with zoom-ins / transitions / captions / etc.
