How does Cardboard work?
Imagine having your own video editor. You share your footage, tell them what you want, and they put the edit together for you. That’s how Cardboard works too.
There are three steps to get from your idea to a finished video.
01 Describe it
Describe how you want the video to feel. Then upload your clips and add a reference, just like you would with a real editor. You can use your own words to do this. For example:
“Make a 30-second recap of this trip.”
Our AI agent watches your footage, picks the best moments, and builds a first version for you.
02 Refine it
Watch the first version and tell The Director (the AI agent) what you’d like to change. You can ask for anything from a shorter opening to generating a clip or syncing your media to an audio of your choice.
03 Export it
Once you are happy with the outcome, simply export your video and it is ready to be shared wherever you like.
You don’t need any editing experience to get started on Cardboard. Just bring an idea, and then work with the agent until it feels like yours.
