The Story

AI creators like me spend hours jumping between apps to compare and present generated videos and images. I built VidBoards to give us one focused tool—a free canvas where you can organize, compare frame-by-frame with a shared timeline, and present your work without switching apps. No subscription, no account, just local control over your creative workflow.

AI Overview

AI-generated

Creators working with AI-generated media face a fragmented workflow. After spending time generating images and videos across various AI tools, they must jump between multiple applications to organize, compare, and present their results. VidBoards consolidates this repetitive context-switching into a single, focused application designed specifically for reviewing and presenting generated batches.

The product targets AI creators actively using generation tools like ComfyUI, Automatic1111, Stable Diffusion, and similar platforms. Rather than building yet another creation tool, VidBoards solves the problem that comes after generation: managing outputs efficiently, comparing results systematically, and presenting sequences without leaving the application.

What distinguishes VidBoards is its philosophical foundation. The application operates entirely locally without subscriptions, accounts, or cloud services. It reads embedded metadata directly from generated files, eliminating manual documentation burden. This approach appeals to creators who prioritize privacy and control over their workflow.

The interface centers on an infinite canvas where users arrange videos and images freely using standard gestures: middle-mouse panning, scroll-wheel zooming, and optional snap-to-grid alignment. Multiple boards support unlimited cards per project, saved as lightweight .vdb files. The architecture remains deliberately simple, keeping users focused on their media rather than fighting interface complexity.

The shared timeline feature represents the core innovation. A single scrubber syncs all videos to the exact same frame simultaneously, enabling instant comparison across dozens of clips. Rather than opening multiple players and mentally tracking differences, creators see frame-by-frame variations across all takes at once. This directly addresses the time spent hunting for optimal shots.

Sequence Mode transforms the application into a presentation tool. Users activate a full-screen overlay, arrange clips in order, and play them back-to-back like a showreel. Auto-advance between items and keyboard controls eliminate the need to export to external presentation software.

Supporting tools include batch operations through multi-select, quick media controls for simultaneous playback or looping, and support for PNG, JPEG, WebP, MP4, and MKV formats. The application also handles metadata from multiple AI generation tools seamlessly.

The pricing model is unambiguous: free, forever, with no subscription, no account requirement, and no cloud dependency. For a creator-focused tool addressing a specific workflow bottleneck, VidBoards demonstrates disciplined product design aligned with its audience's actual needs.
