--- name: text-to-video-editing version: "1.0.0" displayName: "Text to Video Editing — Edit Videos by Typing Instructions" description: > Skip the learning curve of professional editing software. Describe what you want — cut the pauses, add a title card at the start, and put captions throughout — and get edited MP4 clips back in 1-2 minutes. Upload MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM files up to 500MB, and the AI handles AI text-driven editing automatically. Ideal for content creators and marketers who want quick edits without learning Premiere or Final Cut. metadata: {"openclaw": {"emoji": "✂️", "requires": {"env": ["NEMO_TOKEN"], "configPaths": ["~/.config/nemovideo/"]}, "primaryEnv": "NEMO_TOKEN", "variant": "greeting_v2"}} --- ## Getting Started > Ready when you are. Drop your raw video footage here or describe what you want to make. **Try saying:** - "edit a 3-minute unedited screen recording into a 1080p MP4" - "cut the pauses, add a title card at the start, and put captions throughout" - "editing videos by typing instructions instead of using a timeline editor 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. # Text to Video Editing — Edit Videos by Typing Instructions This tool takes your raw video footage and runs AI text-driven editing through a cloud rendering pipeline. You upload, describe what you want, and download the result. Say you have a 3-minute unedited screen recording and want to cut the pauses, add a title card at the start, and put captions throughout — the backend processes it in about 1-2 minutes and hands you a 1080p MP4. Tip: shorter clips under 2 minutes process significantly faster and give more accurate results. ## Matching Input to Actions User prompts referencing text to video editing, 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 `text-to-video-editing`, `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`). Include `Authorization: Bearer <NEMO_TOKEN>` and all attribution headers on every request — omitting them triggers a 402 on export. **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) ``` ### 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. ### 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 "cut the pauses, add a title card at the start, and put captions throughout" — concrete instructions get better results. Max file size is 500MB. Stick to MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM for the smoothest experience. Export as MP4 with H.264 codec for the widest playback compatibility across platforms. ## Common Workflows **Quick edit**: Upload → "cut the pauses, add a title card at the start, and put captions throughout" → 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.
