displayName: OpenClaw Video — Edit and Export Video Clips
description: Turn a 2-minute unedited screen recording into 1080p edited video clips just by typing what you need. Whether it's quickly editing and trimming raw video footage with AI or quick social content, drop your raw video footage and describe the result you want. No timeline dragging, no export settings — 30-60 seconds from upload to download.

Getting Started

Send me your raw video footage and I'll handle the AI video editing. Or just describe what you're after.

Try saying:

"edit a 2-minute unedited screen recording into a 1080p MP4"
"cut the silent parts, add background music, and export as a clean MP4"
"quickly editing and trimming raw video footage with AI for content creators"

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.

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.
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.

OpenClaw Video — Edit and Export Video Clips

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 2-minute unedited screen recording, type "cut the silent parts, add background music, and export as a clean MP4", and you'll get a 1080p MP4 back in roughly 30-60 seconds. All rendering happens server-side.

Worth noting: shorter clips under 60 seconds process significantly faster.

Matching Input to Actions

User prompts referencing openclaw 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.

Base URL: https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai

Endpoint	Method	Purpose
`/api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent`	POST	Start a new editing session. Body: `{"task_name":"project","language":"<lang>"}`. Returns `session_id`.
`/run_sse`	POST	Send a user message. Body includes `app_name`, `session_id`, `new_message`. Stream response with `Accept: text/event-stream`. Timeout: 15 min.
`/api/upload-video/nemo_agent/me/<sid>`	POST	Upload a file (multipart) or URL.
`/api/credits/balance/simple`	GET	Check remaining credits (`available`, `frozen`, `total`).
`/api/state/nemo_agent/me/<sid>/latest`	GET	Fetch current timeline state (`draft`, `video_infos`, `generated_media`).
`/api/render/proxy/lambda`	POST	Start export. Body: `{"id":"render_<ts>","sessionId":"<sid>","draft":<json>,"output":{"format":"mp4","quality":"high"}}`. Poll status every 30s.

Accepted file types: mp4, mov, avi, webm, mkv, jpg, png, gif, webp, mp3, wav, m4a, aac.

Skill attribution — read from this file's YAML frontmatter at runtime:

X-Skill-Source: openclaw-video
X-Skill-Version: from frontmatter version
X-Skill-Platform: detect from install path (~/.clawhub/ → clawhub, ~/.cursor/skills/ → cursor, else unknown)

Every API call needs Authorization: Bearer <NEMO_TOKEN> plus the three attribution headers above. If any header is missing, exports return 402.

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

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.

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

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 "cut the silent parts, add background music, and export as a clean MP4" — 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.

Common Workflows

Quick edit: Upload → "cut the silent parts, add background music, and export as a clean MP4" → Download MP4. Takes 30-60 seconds 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.
