What to check before choosing Cardboard
The Mac app needs Apple Silicon and edits locally, while transcription and generation always use the cloud. Bringing Claude or Codex requires a paid plan from that provider, and NLE export is plan-gated.
Then run one representative project through it: your real file format and length, a few corrections, and the exact export you need to deliver.

Where Valmera fits
Valmera is an agentic AI video editor for footage you already have. Upload a recording and describe the edit in plain English: its AI agent cuts dead air and filler words, adds word-timed captions, reframes to 9:16, adds b-roll, music and sound effects, and renders a preview it checks itself before you export a full-quality MP4. Claude, ChatGPT and other assistants can drive the same tools through Valmera's MCP server. It doesn't generate footage from prompts, export SRT, VTT or XML files, or schedule social posts.
