Cardboard
Cursor for video editing
Visit website →About
Cardboard is an agentic video editor that takes a project from raw footage to a finished cut. It watches the clips, understands what is in them, transcribes speech, and identifies the usable moments, then assembles a rough edit that a person directs and refines.
Editing is done by instruction as well as by hand: the user can ask for a tighter pace, a different structure, or specific cuts, and Cardboard applies them across the timeline while keeping manual control available.
It is aimed at creators, marketers, and teams producing a steady stream of video who want to compress the editing stage without giving up creative direction.

Why we picked it
Cardboard picked a good name for what it does — like Cursor for video, it watches footage, transcribes speech, and assembles a rough edit you then direct by instruction or by hand, rather than generating a full clip from a prompt.
