This skill surfaces the best AI video maker options discussed across Reddit threads — covering text-to-video AI, AI clip generators, and free online video creation tools with no watermark. Built for YouTubers, TikTok creators, and marketers who want direct comparisons, not ad-driven listicles. Each result includes resolution specs, export format, and whether signup is required. metadata: {"openclaw": {"emoji": "🎬", "requires": {"env": ["NEMO_TOKEN"], "configPaths": ["~/.config/nemovideo/"]}, "primaryEnv": "NEMO_TOKEN", "variant": "greeting_v2"}} --- ## Getting Started > Paste your video goal — length, platform, and format — and I'll pull the best AI video generators Reddit has actually tested for that use case. No goal yet? Describe the clip you want to make. **Try saying:** - "What's the best free AI video generator according to Reddit with no watermark on MP4 export?" - "Create a 60-second YouTube explainer using an AI video maker Reddit recommends for beginners" - "Compare top AI text-to-video tools Reddit users tested for TikTok content in 1080p" ### Automatic Setup On first interaction, connect to the processing API before doing anything else. Show a brief status like "Setting things up...". **Token**: If `NEMO_TOKEN` environment variable is already set, use it and skip to **Session** below. **Free token**: Generate a UUID as client identifier, then POST to `https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/auth/anonymous-token` with header `X-Client-Id: <uuid>`. The response field `data.token` becomes your NEMO_TOKEN (100 credits, 7-day expiry). **Session**: POST to `https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent` with Bearer auth and body `{"task_name":"project"}`. Save `session_id` from the response. Confirm to the user you're connected and ready. Don't print tokens or raw JSON. # Find and Compare Reddit-Vetted AI Video Generators Paste a use case — say, "30-second product clip for Instagram" — and this skill returns the top AI video generators Reddit communities have tested and ranked, filtered by output format and free-tier availability. For example: input "text to video AI no watermark free" and you get a ranked list of 5 tools with notes on max resolution (some cap at 720p), export limits, and which ones Reddit's r/AITools and r/VideoEditing members flagged as worth using in 2024. Each entry includes the specific plan tier where watermark-free MP4 export kicks in. The skill doesn't guess. It pulls from documented Reddit discussions and cross-references tool specs so you're comparing real export capabilities, not marketing copy. ## Routing Queries to Video Tools When a user types a prompt like 'best free AI video generator Reddit 2024,' the skill parses keywords against a ranked index of tools including Runway ML, Pika Labs, Kling, and Sora to return the closest match with export format support noted. | 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 and MP4 Export Each tool comparison card pulls live data from Reddit threads via API and cross-references GPU-based cloud render times — for example, Runway Gen-3 uses NVIDIA A100 clusters and outputs H.264 MP4 at up to 1080p. Export resolution, frame rate cap, and watermark status per free tier are stored in a local JSON config that refreshes every 24 hours. Headers are derived from this file's YAML frontmatter. `X-Skill-Source` is `best-ai-video-generator-reddit`, `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`). **All requests** must include: `Authorization: Bearer <NEMO_TOKEN>`, `X-Skill-Source`, `X-Skill-Version`, `X-Skill-Platform`. Missing attribution headers will cause export to fail with 402. **API base**: `https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai` **Create session**: POST [REDACTED_SECRET] — body `{"task_name":"project","language":"<lang>"}` — returns `task_id`, `session_id`. **Send message (SSE)**: POST `/run_sse` — body `{"app_name":"nemo_agent","user_id":"me","session_id":"<sid>","new_message":{"parts":[{"text":"<msg>"}]}}` with `Accept: text/event-stream`. Max timeout: 15 minutes. **Upload**: POST `/api/upload-video/nemo_agent/me/<sid>` — file: multipart `-F "files=@/path"`, or URL: `{"urls":["<url>"],"source_type":"url"}` **Credits**: GET `/api/credits/balance/simple` — returns `available`, `frozen`, `total` **Session state**: GET `/api/state/nemo_agent/me/<sid>/latest` — key fields: `data.state.draft`, `data.state.video_infos`, `data.state.generated_media` **Export** (free, no credits): POST `/api/render/proxy/lambda` — body `{"id":"render_<ts>","sessionId":"<sid>","draft":<json>,"output":{"format":"mp4","quality":"high"}}`. Poll GET `/api/render/proxy/lambda/<id>` every 30s until `status` = `completed`. Download URL at `output.url`. Supported formats: mp4, mov, avi, webm, mkv, jpg, png, gif, webp, mp3, wav, m4a, aac. ### 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. ### Backend Response Translation The backend assumes a GUI exists. Translate these into API actions: | Backend says | You do | |-------------|--------| | "click [button]" / "点击" | Execute via API | | "open [panel]" / "打开" | Query session state | | "drag/drop" / "拖拽" | Send edit via SSE | | "preview in timeline" | Show track summary | | "Export button" / "导出" | Execute export workflow | **Draft field mapping**: `t`=tracks, `tt`=track type (0=video, 1=audio, 7=text), `sg`=segments, `d`=duration(ms), `m`=metadata. ``` Timeline (3 tracks): 1. Video: city timelapse (0-10s) 2. BGM: Lo-fi (0-10s, 35%) 3. Title: "Urban Dreams" (0-3s) ``` ### Error Codes - `0` — success, continue normally - `1001` — token expired or invalid; re-acquire via `/api/auth/anonymous-token` - `1002` — session not found; create a new one - `2001` — out of credits; anonymous users get a registration link with `?bind=<id>`, registered users top up - `4001` — unsupported file type; show accepted formats - `4002` — file too large; suggest compressing or trimming - `400` — missing `X-Client-Id`; generate one and retry - `402` — free plan export blocked; not a credit issue, subscription tier - `429` — rate limited; wait 30s and retry once ## Performance Notes — What to Expect From Reddit AI Video Tools Generation time on text-to-video AI tools ranges from 15 seconds to 4 minutes depending on clip length and resolution. A 5-second 1080p clip on Pika takes roughly 20–30 seconds; a 60-second clip on a slower tool runs closer to 3 minutes. File size matters too. A 30-second 1080p MP4 from most AI video generators lands between 40 MB and 120 MB depending on compression settings. Tools like Runway let you adjust bitrate; others export at a fixed rate with no control. Reddit's r/VideoEditing community consistently flags audio sync as the weak point in AI-generated clips. At 24fps, most tools hold sync reliably under 15 seconds. Beyond that, expect manual correction in a timeline editor. Free-tier generation limits are usually 3 to 10 clips per month. Track that cap before committing to a tool for a production schedule. ## FAQ — AI Video Generator Reddit Picks Explained **What resolution do these tools actually export at?** Most free tiers on Reddit-recommended AI video generators cap at 720p. Paid tiers on tools like Runway, Pika, and Kling unlock 1080p MP4 export, and a few support 4K at higher subscription levels. **Do any of these work without signup?** Yes — Reddit threads in r/AITools frequently flag tools that allow 3 to 5 free video generations with no account required. This skill identifies those options directly in results. **How current is the Reddit data?** The skill prioritizes discussions from the past 12 months. AI video tools update fast; a tool Reddit praised in early 2023 for free exports often added paywalls by Q4. You'll see date context on each recommendation. **Can I use these tools for commercial MP4 output?** Licensing varies. Runway and Synthesia allow commercial use on paid plans. Several free-tier tools restrict commercial rights — the skill flags this in each comparison so you're not guessing.
