Firefox is not supported ...
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!
will definitely check the XML exports, ty :)
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!
For some of the examples we shared though, we've created sample projects right within the product itself. They contain the raw assets and the exact prompts used to create the videos. You can try them out directly at https://demo.usecardboard.com and see the whole process!
Cardboard looks really well polished, well done!
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.
and ig it's time to revisit that chrome tab :)
Great website and good luck!
also, appreciate the kind words on the site — give Cardboard a spin next time you need a product reel!
Great website btw. The onboarding was very pleasing
target customers usually fall under one of these - marketers / creators / founders
My co-founder and I met in high school, and we wanted the name to carry a sense of craft. Cardboard was always that material in school projects that was firm enough to hold structure but malleable enough to build almost anything out of. That balance of structure and flexibility felt like a good metaphor for what we're building.
Also we just thought it was a cool name and bought a bunch of domains... https://cardboard.mov is one of my favorites :)
for now, an intermediate solution is to splice and upload.
Regardless, having a tool that knows the content of your footage is a huge time saver. Good luck with the product.
The value might not be co-editing the timeline, it's making the feedback / iteration loops faster.
Aight imma head out. Holy moly.
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?
