Cardboard

What is Cardboard?

Cardboard is an agentic video editing platform designed to eliminate the grind of manual editing. It interprets natural language instructions and maps them to complex timeline operations automatically — from trimming silences and adding captions to color grading and voiceovers. Whether you're editing talking head videos, vlogs, montages, or podcast clips, Cardboard delivers a strong first cut fast, then lets you refine it like a real editor. Built for both solo creators and teams, it also supports live collaboration to review and ship edits together.

Key Features

• Agentic Editing Director

  An built-in AI director plans and executes edits autonomously — understanding the semantic meaning of requests and translating them into precise timeline operations.

• Natural Language Controls

  Describe what you want in plain text and Cardboard handles the technical execution, from silence removal and smart trimming to captions and color grading.

• Semantic Clip Search

  Search your media library by describing what happened in the footage rather than hunting through filenames or timestamps.

• Automated Post-Production Tools

  Built-in tools for silence removal, auto-captions, voiceover, color grading, and beat-synced transitions — all applied automatically or on demand.

• Live Collaboration

  Teams can review, tweak, and finalize edits together in real time, eliminating lengthy back-and-forth feedback cycles.
