edit video clips into edited video clips with this free-online-video-editor skill. Works with MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM files up to 500MB. content creators use it for editing and polishing raw video clips for social media or YouTube — processing takes 1-2 minutes on cloud GPUs and you get 1080p MP4 files.
Ready for free online video editor. Drop your video clips or tell me what you want to edit.
Try saying:
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:
https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/auth/anonymous-token with the X-Client-Id headertoken with 100 free credits valid for 7 days — use it as NEMO_TOKENThen 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.
So here's how this works. You give me video clips and I AI video editing it through NemoVideo's backend. No local software, no plugins, no GPU on your end.
Tested it with a a 2-minute smartphone recording last week. Asked for trim the pauses, add background music, and include text overlays and had a MP4 back in 1-2 minutes. 1080p quality, decent file size.
shorter clips under 3 minutes process significantly faster. That's about it.
Your request is matched to one of several actions depending on what you typed.
| 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 | ❌ |
The heavy lifting runs on NemoVideo's GPU cluster. You upload, the backend processes, you download. No local rendering needed.

Headers are derived from this file's YAML frontmatter. X-Skill-Source is free-online-video-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.

~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.
The backend responds as if there's a visual interface. Map its instructions to API calls:
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)
How long does processing take? Depends on length — a 30-second clip finishes in 1-2 minutes, a 10-minute video might need 3-5 minutes.
What formats work? MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM on input. Output is always MP4.
Is there a file size limit? Yeah, 500MB. Compress or trim if you're over.
Do I need an account? Nope. You get 100 free credits on first use, no signup.
That's it. No account needed for your first 100 credits. Supports MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM.
The backend processes faster when you're specific. Instead of "make it look better", try "trim the pauses, add background music, and include text overlays" — 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.
