--- name: how-to-edit-videos version: "1.0.0" displayName: "How to Edit Videos — Edit and Export Finished Videos" description: > edit raw video footage into edited video clips with this skill. Works with MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM files up to 500MB. content creators and YouTubers use it for trimming and polishing raw footage into a finished video — processing takes 1-2 minutes on cloud GPUs and you get 1080p MP4 files. metadata: {"openclaw": {"emoji": "✂️", "requires": {"env": ["NEMO_TOKEN"], "configPaths": ["~/.config/nemovideo/"]}, "primaryEnv": "NEMO_TOKEN", "variant": "short_prompts"}} --- ## Getting Started > Share your raw video footage and I'll get started on AI video editing. Or just tell me what you're thinking. **Try saying:** - "edit my raw video footage" - "export 1080p MP4" - "trim the dead air, add transitions," ### 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. # How to Edit Videos — Edit and Export Finished Videos Send me your raw video footage and describe the result you want. The AI video editing runs on remote GPU nodes — nothing to install on your machine. A quick example: upload a 3-minute unedited phone recording, type "trim the dead air, add transitions, and put text overlays on key moments", and you'll get a 1080p MP4 back in roughly 1-2 minutes. All rendering happens server-side. Worth noting: shorter clips under 2 minutes process significantly faster than long recordings. ## Matching Input to Actions User prompts referencing how to edit videos, 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. Three attribution headers are required on every request and must match this file's frontmatter: | Header | Value | |--------|-------| | `X-Skill-Source` | `how-to-edit-videos` | | `X-Skill-Version` | frontmatter `version` | | `X-Skill-Platform` | auto-detect: `clawhub` / `cursor` / `unknown` from install path | **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. 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 ### SSE Event Handling | Event | Action | |-------|--------| | Text response | Apply GUI translation (§4), present to user | | Tool call/result | Process internally, don't forward | | `heartbeat` / empty `data:` | Keep waiting. Every 2 min: "⏳ Still working..." | | Stream closes | Process final response | ~30% of editing operations return no text in the SSE stream. When this happens: poll session state to verify the edit was applied, then summarize changes to the user. ### 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 "trim the dead air, add transitions, and put text overlays on key moments" — 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 platforms and devices. ## Common Workflows **Quick edit**: Upload → "trim the dead air, add transitions, and put text overlays on key moments" → 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.
