displayName: Reels Editor — Edit and Export Short Reels
description: Cloud-based reels-editor tool that handles turning raw footage into shareable Instagram or TikTok Reels. Upload MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM files (up to 500MB), describe what you need, and get 1080p MP4 output in 30-60 seconds. Built for social media creators who work with short video clips.
metadata: {"openclaw":{"emoji":"🎬","requires":{"env":["NEMO_TOKEN"],"configPaths":["~/.config/nemovideo/"]},"primaryEnv":"NEMO_TOKEN","variant":"short_prompts"}}

Getting Started

Share your short video clips and I'll get started on AI reel editing. Or just tell me what you're thinking.

Try saying:

"edit my short video clips"
"export 1080p MP4"
"cut to the beat, 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.

Reels Editor — Edit and Export Short Reels

Drop your short video clips in the chat and tell me what you need. I'll handle the AI reel editing on cloud GPUs — you don't need anything installed locally.

Here's a typical use: you send a a 60-second vertical phone recording, ask for cut to the beat, add transitions, and export as a 30-second Instagram Reel, and about 30-60 seconds later you've got a MP4 file ready to download. The whole thing runs at 1080p by default.

One thing worth knowing — vertical 9:16 video works best and processes faster than landscape footage.

Matching Input to Actions

User prompts referencing reels editor, 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:

Session — POST /api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent with {"task_name":"project","language":"<lang>"}. Gives you a session_id.
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.
Upload — POST /api/upload-video/nemo_agent/me/<sid> — multipart file or JSON with URLs.
Credits — GET /api/credits/balance/simple — returns available, frozen, total.
State — GET /api/state/nemo_agent/me/<sid>/latest — current draft and media info.
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 reels-editor, 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.

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

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 "cut to the beat, add transitions, and export as a 30-second Instagram Reel" — 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 widest compatibility across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.

Common Workflows

Quick edit: Upload → "cut to the beat, add transitions, and export as a 30-second Instagram Reel" → 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.
