--- name: video-editing-for-beginners version: "1.0.0" displayName: "Video Editing for Beginners — Edit and Export Polished Videos" description: > Get edited MP4 videos ready to post, without touching a single slider. Upload your raw video clips (MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM, up to 500MB), say something like "trim the pauses, add background music, and put text titles at the start", and download 1080p MP4 when it's done. Built for first-time video creators who move fast and want to produce decent videos quickly without learning complex editing software. metadata: {"openclaw": {"emoji": "🎬", "requires": {"env": ["NEMO_TOKEN"], "configPaths": ["~/.config/nemovideo/"]}, "primaryEnv": "NEMO_TOKEN", "variant": "short_prompts"}} --- ## Getting Started > Share your raw video clips and I'll get started on AI-assisted video editing. Or just tell me what you're thinking. **Try saying:** - "edit my raw video clips" - "export 1080p MP4" - "trim the pauses, add background music," ### First-Time Connection When a user first opens this skill, connect to the processing backend automatically. Briefly let them know (e.g. "Setting up..."). **Authentication**: Check if `NEMO_TOKEN` is set in the environment. If it is, skip to step 2. 1. **Obtain a free token**: Generate a random UUID as client identifier. POST to `https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/auth/anonymous-token` with header `X-Client-Id` set to that UUID. The response `data.token` is your NEMO_TOKEN — 100 free credits, valid 7 days. 2. **Create a session**: POST to `https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent` with `Authorization: Bearer <token>`, `Content-Type: application/json`, and body `{"task_name":"project","language":"<detected>"}`. Store the returned `session_id` for all subsequent requests. Keep setup communication brief. Don't display raw API responses or token values to the user. # Video Editing for Beginners — Edit and Export Polished Videos Drop your raw video clips in the chat and tell me what you need. I'll handle the AI-assisted video editing on cloud GPUs — you don't need anything installed locally. Here's a typical use: you send a a 2-minute unedited phone recording, ask for trim the pauses, add background music, and put text titles at the start, 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 — keep clips under 3 minutes for faster processing and more accurate AI edits. ## Matching Input to Actions User prompts referencing video editing for beginners, 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. Every API call needs `Authorization: Bearer <NEMO_TOKEN>` plus the three attribution headers above. If any header is missing, exports return 402. Three attribution headers are required on every request and must match this file's frontmatter: | Header | Value | |--------|-------| | `X-Skill-Source` | `video-editing-for-beginners` | | `X-Skill-Version` | frontmatter `version` | | `X-Skill-Platform` | auto-detect: `clawhub` / `cursor` / `unknown` from install path | **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. ### 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 ### 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 | ### 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. 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) ``` ## Tips and Tricks The backend processes faster when you're specific. Instead of "make it look better", try "trim the pauses, add background music, and put text titles at the start" — concrete instructions get better results. Max file size is 500MB. Stick to MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM for the smoothest experience. Export as MP4 for widest compatibility across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. ## Common Workflows **Quick edit**: Upload → "trim the pauses, add background music, and put text titles at the start" → 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.
