AI video editing
Cardboard
Describe the edit. Cardboard cuts it in the browser or on a Mac.
What it does
Cardboard is an AI video editor for footage you already have. You describe the cut, and it removes pauses, adds captions, reframes, and can build motion graphics on a timeline. It runs in the browser and as a Mac app. The Mac app can keep clips on the machine and use a Claude or ChatGPT subscription you already have. A timeline can be handed to Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve from the web editor.
Where it fits
Drop in one recording, describe the video you want, and watch the first cut before you export. Change a line in the chat, or adjust the timeline yourself.
Before you commit
