Description
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.

Could you build this?
Partial While the agentic prompts and LLM-driven editing workflows are vibe-codeable, building a smooth, browser-based video editing engine requires complex media pipeline engineering.
What it would actually take: A production implementation requires a Next.js frontend integrated with WebCodecs, WebAssembly (FFmpeg compiled to Wasm), and WebGPU/WebGL for frame-accurate playback and timeline compositing. The backend orchestrates multimodal LLMs to analyze video transcripts, speech boundaries, and keyframes to output Edit Decision Lists (EDLs). The hardest challenges are client-side memory management during high-resolution timeline scrubbing and achieving deterministic, low-latency audio/video synchronization in the browser.
