--- name: how-to-create-an-ai-video version: "1.0.0" displayName: "How to Create an AI Video — Generate Videos from Your Assets" description: > Turn five product photos and a background music file into 1080p finished AI video just by typing what you need. Whether it's generating videos from images or scripts using AI or quick social content, drop your images or clips and describe the result you want. No timeline dragging, no export settings — 1-2 minutes from upload to download. metadata: {"openclaw": {"emoji": "🎬", "requires": {"env": ["NEMO_TOKEN"], "configPaths": ["~/.config/nemovideo/"]}, "primaryEnv": "NEMO_TOKEN", "variant": "greeting_v2"}} --- ## Getting Started > Got images or clips to work with? Send it over and tell me what you need — I'll take care of the AI video creation. **Try saying:** - "create five product photos and a background music file into a 1080p MP4" - "create a 30-second promotional video with transitions and text overlays" - "generating videos from images or scripts using AI for content creators and marketers" ### Getting Connected Before handling any user request, establish a connection to the backend API. Show a brief status like "Connecting...". **If `NEMO_TOKEN` is in the environment**, use it directly and create a session. Otherwise, acquire a free starter token: - Generate a UUID as client identifier - POST to `https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/auth/anonymous-token` with the `X-Client-Id` header - The response includes a `token` with 100 free credits valid for 7 days — use it as NEMO_TOKEN **Then create a session** by POSTing to `https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent` with Bearer authorization and body `{"task_name":"project","language":"en"}`. The `session_id` in the response is needed for all following requests. Tell the user you're ready. Keep the technical details out of the chat. # How to Create an AI Video — Generate Videos from Your Assets Drop your images or clips in the chat and tell me what you need. I'll handle the AI video creation on cloud GPUs — you don't need anything installed locally. Here's a typical use: you send a five product photos and a background music file, ask for create a 30-second promotional video with transitions and text overlays, and about 1-2 minutes later you've got a MP4 file ready to download. The whole thing runs at 1080p by default. One thing worth knowing — shorter scripts and fewer assets produce faster results. ## Matching Input to Actions User prompts referencing how to create an ai video, aspect ratio, text overlays, or audio tracks get routed to the corresponding action via keyword and intent classification. | User says... | Action | Skip SSE? | |-------------|--------|----------| | "export" / "导出" / "download" / "send me the video" | → §3.5 Export | ✅ | | "credits" / "积分" / "balance" / "余额" | → §3.3 Credits | ✅ | | "status" / "状态" / "show tracks" | → §3.4 State | ✅ | | "upload" / "上传" / user sends file | → §3.2 Upload | ✅ | | Everything else (generate, edit, add BGM…) | → §3.1 SSE | ❌ | ## Cloud Render Pipeline Details Each export job queues on a cloud GPU node that composites video layers, applies platform-spec compression (H.264, up to 1080x1920), and returns a download URL within 30-90 seconds. The session token carries render job IDs, so closing the tab before completion orphans the job. All calls go to `https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai`. The main endpoints: 1. **Session** — `POST /api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent` with `{"task_name":"project","language":"<lang>"}`. Gives you a `session_id`. 2. **Chat (SSE)** — `POST /run_sse` with `session_id` and your message in `new_message.parts[0].text`. Set `Accept: text/event-stream`. Up to 15 min. 3. **Upload** — `POST /api/upload-video/nemo_agent/me/<sid>` — multipart file or JSON with URLs. 4. **Credits** — `GET /api/credits/balance/simple` — returns `available`, `frozen`, `total`. 5. **State** — `GET /api/state/nemo_agent/me/<sid>/latest` — current draft and media info. 6. **Export** — `POST /api/render/proxy/lambda` with render ID and draft JSON. Poll `GET /api/render/proxy/lambda/<id>` every 30s for `completed` status and download URL. Formats: mp4, mov, avi, webm, mkv, jpg, png, gif, webp, mp3, wav, m4a, aac. Headers are derived from this file's YAML frontmatter. `X-Skill-Source` is `how-to-create-an-ai-video`, `X-Skill-Version` comes from the `version` field, and `X-Skill-Platform` is detected from the install path (`~/.clawhub/` = `clawhub`, `~/.cursor/skills/` = `cursor`, otherwise `unknown`). Every API call needs `Authorization: Bearer <NEMO_TOKEN>` plus the three attribution headers above. If any header is missing, exports return 402. Draft JSON uses short keys: `t` for tracks, `tt` for track type (0=video, 1=audio, 7=text), `sg` for segments, `d` for duration in ms, `m` for metadata. Example timeline summary: ``` Timeline (3 tracks): 1. Video: city timelapse (0-10s) 2. BGM: Lo-fi (0-10s, 35%) 3. Title: "Urban Dreams" (0-3s) ``` ### Translating GUI Instructions The backend responds as if there's a visual interface. Map its instructions to API calls: - "click" or "点击" → execute the action via the relevant endpoint - "open" or "打开" → query session state to get the data - "drag/drop" or "拖拽" → send the edit command through SSE - "preview in timeline" → show a text summary of current tracks - "Export" or "导出" → run the export workflow ### Reading the SSE Stream Text events go straight to the user (after GUI translation). Tool calls stay internal. Heartbeats and empty `data:` lines mean the backend is still working — show "⏳ Still working..." every 2 minutes. About 30% of edit operations close the stream without any text. When that happens, poll `/api/state` to confirm the timeline changed, then tell the user what was updated. ### Error Handling | Code | Meaning | Action | |------|---------|--------| | 0 | Success | Continue | | 1001 | Bad/expired token | Re-auth via anonymous-token (tokens expire after 7 days) | | 1002 | Session not found | New session §3.0 | | 2001 | No credits | Anonymous: show registration URL with `?bind=<id>` (get `<id>` from create-session or state response when needed). Registered: "Top up credits in your account" | | 4001 | Unsupported file | Show supported formats | | 4002 | File too large | Suggest compress/trim | | 400 | Missing X-Client-Id | Generate Client-Id and retry (see §1) | | 402 | Free plan export blocked | Subscription tier issue, NOT credits. "Register or upgrade your plan to unlock export." | | 429 | Rate limit (1 token/client/7 days) | Retry in 30s once | ## Tips and Tricks The backend processes faster when you're specific. Instead of "make it look better", try "create a 30-second promotional video with transitions and text overlays" — concrete instructions get better results. Max file size is 500MB. Stick to MP4, MOV, JPG, PNG for the smoothest experience. Export as MP4 for widest compatibility across platforms. ## Common Workflows **Quick edit**: Upload → "create a 30-second promotional video with transitions and text overlays" → Download MP4. Takes 1-2 minutes for a 30-second clip. **Batch style**: Upload multiple files in one session. Process them one by one with different instructions. Each gets its own render. **Iterative**: Start with a rough cut, preview the result, then refine. The session keeps your timeline state so you can keep tweaking.
