Frequently asked questions
Which devices does Cardboard work on?
Any computer with Chrome, plus a Mac app for Apple Silicon. Phones and tablets aren't supported yet.
What's the difference between local and cloud processing?
The Mac app edits and exports on your Mac; in the browser, that happens in the cloud. AI features like transcription and generation use the cloud either way.
Can I use my own AI agent?
Yes. The Mac app works with Claude Code and Codex, and any agent can drive Cardboard through its CLI or MCP server.
Is my footage private?
Yes. Your footage is yours, and nothing is shared until you create a link. In the Mac app, your projects stay on your Mac.
How do I share or export my video?
Share a link people can watch and comment on, or export an MP4, MOV and more at up to 4K. You can also send the timeline to Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve.
