I also saw another YC company, Mosaic, doing something similar. But your approach of chat-based editing is a lot closer to what I'm building. Shameless plug: I'm also working on a chat-based media processor. https://chatoctopus.com
But you guys are way ahead! will be looking at you for inspiration.
Regardless, having a tool that knows the content of your footage is a huge time saver. Good luck with the product.
Cardboard looks really well polished, well done!
Great website btw. The onboarding was very pleasing
and ig it's time to revisit that chrome tab :)
Great website and good luck!
I recently started making videos for a loved one that lives far away, I started using CapCut and this is the kind of thing I was thinking "I wish it did that".
I'll definitely try it out. Congrats!
Aight imma head out. Holy moly.
will definitely check the XML exports, ty :)
for now, an intermediate solution is to splice and upload.
also, appreciate the kind words on the site — give Cardboard a spin next time you need a product reel!
lmk if i can help in any way :)
We deliberately avoided credits/usage-based pricing because as founders using this in our own creative workflow, we hate the cognitive load that comes with it.
If I don't like a voiceover/variation, I should have the freedom to regenerate it until I'm happy without thinking about whether it's "worth" a credit.
That said, we could be wrong! Genuinely curious what you think would feel fair?
target customers usually fall under one of these - marketers / creators / founders
The short answer: Firefox doesn't support the File System Access API (https://caniuse.com/?search=File+System+Access+API).
We made a deliberate decision to go client-first. Video editing happens entirely in your browser without us uploading your entire footage on our end. No bandwidth costs for you, no storing your raw video on our servers. The File System Access API is what makes that possible, and unfortunately Firefox just doesn't have it yet.
It's not a forever thing though. For cloud-based projects where files live on our end anyway, Firefox support is very much on the roadmap. But for the local-first editing flow, our hands are a bit tied until Mozilla ships it.
Hope that makes sense, and fingers crossed Firefox adds support soon!
