create images or clips into ready-to-share videos with this how-to-create-video-with-ai skill. Works with MP4, MOV, JPG, PNG files up to 500MB. marketers and content creators use it for generating videos from images or text prompts — processing takes 1-2 minutes on cloud GPUs and you get 1080p MP4 files.
Ready when you are. Drop your images or clips here or describe what you want to make.
Try saying:
This skill connects to a cloud processing backend. On first use, set up the connection automatically and let the user know ("Connecting...").
Token check: Look for NEMO_TOKEN in the environment. If found, skip to session creation. Otherwise:
https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/auth/anonymous-token with X-Client-Id headerdata.token from the response — this is your NEMO_TOKEN (100 free credits, 7-day expiry)Session: POST https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent with Bearer auth and body {"task_name":"project"}. Keep the returned session_id for all operations.
Let the user know with a brief "Ready!" when setup is complete. Don't expose tokens or raw API output.
This tool takes your images or clips and runs AI video creation through a cloud rendering pipeline. You upload, describe what you want, and download the result.
Say you have five product images and a script and want to turn these images into a 30-second promo video with music and text overlays — the backend processes it in about 1-2 minutes and hands you a 1080p MP4.
Tip: shorter scripts and fewer assets generate results faster.
User prompts referencing how to create video with ai, 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 | ❌ |
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:
POST /api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent with {"task_name":"project","language":"<lang>"}. Gives you a session_id.POST /run_sse with session_id and your message in new_message.parts[0].text. Set Accept: text/event-stream. Up to 15 min.POST /api/upload-video/nemo_agent/me/<sid> — multipart file or JSON with URLs.GET /api/credits/balance/simple — returns available, frozen, total.GET /api/state/nemo_agent/me/<sid>/latest — current draft and media info.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 how-to-create-video-with-ai, 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)
The backend responds as if there's a visual interface. Map its instructions to API calls:
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.
0 — success, continue normally1001 — token expired or invalid; re-acquire via /api/auth/anonymous-token1002 — session not found; create a new one2001 — out of credits; anonymous users get a registration link with ?bind=<id>, registered users top up4001 — unsupported file type; show accepted formats4002 — file too large; suggest compressing or trimming400 — missing X-Client-Id; generate one and retry402 — free plan export blocked; not a credit issue, subscription tier429 — rate limited; wait 30s and retry onceThe backend processes faster when you're specific. Instead of "make it look better", try "turn these images into a 30-second promo video with music and text overlays" — concrete instructions get better results.
Max file size is 500MB. Stick to MP4, MOV, JPG, PNG for the smoothest experience.
Export as MP4 for widest compatibility across platforms.
Quick edit: Upload → "turn these images into a 30-second promo video with music and text overlays" → 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.
