Cardboard edits video right in the chat: bring in your clips, say what you want, and the edited video plays there. It works on every Cardboard plan, with no API key.
ChatGPT
- Find Cardboard in Plugins. Open the Plugin directory in ChatGPT and search for Cardboard.
- Install and connect. Select Install plugin, then Connect and sign in with your Cardboard account.
- Mention it in any chat. Type @Cardboard and ask for your video. ChatGPT plans the edit, Cardboard cuts it, and it plays in the chat.
