Byteplus Mediakit Video Highlights

Create and query BytePlus/MediaKit video highlight editing tasks with the video-highlights-llm tool, focused on preset-based football highlight reels. Use when the user asks to generate, submit, or query highlight edits from one or more HTTP/HTTPS video URLs, optionally with preset (football), scoring_prompt, analysis_prompt, callbacks, or one or more target durations.

Overview

Submit BytePlus MediaKit video-highlights-llm jobs and query their async results. Default to preset=football and target_duration=[60] when the user does not provide preset or scoring_prompt. Respect the API limits: one input video up to 3 hours, all input videos up to 15 hours.

Workflow

1. Parse the user's request into task inputs:
   • video_urls: required; collect at least one HTTP/HTTPS media URL in order. Only HTTP/HTTPS URLs are supported. Supported common formats include mp4, flv, ts, avi, mov, wmv, and mkv.
   • target_duration: required array of output durations in seconds. Always an array, even for a single output (for example [60]). At most 5 values, each >= 1, no duplicates, and each smaller than the combined input duration. The CLI defaults to [60] when absent.
   • preset: only football is supported. Default to football when the user provides no preset or scoring_prompt (other values are rejected).
   • scoring_prompt: optional scoring override. If supplied with preset, it overrides the preset's scoring scene.
   • analysis_prompt: optional analysis enhancement. It does not replace preset or scoring_prompt.
   • Optional: callback_url, callback_args, client_token.
2. Run scripts/video_highlights_llm.py doctor before the first real submit/query in a session, or whenever credentials/environment are uncertain. Do not ask the user to paste an API key into chat.
3. If no usable video material is present, ask the user for real video material before submitting. Accept one or more HTTP/HTTPS video URLs.
4. Submit the task with scripts/video_highlights_llm.py submit.
5. Capture the returned task_id, usually shaped like amk-tool-video-highlights-llm-....
6. Query the task later with scripts/video_highlights_llm.py query --task-id <task_id>.
7. When a task succeeds, report the combined duration and each entry in outputs[] (index, target_duration, duration, video_url).

Trigger Examples

Use this skill for requests like:

• "Create a 60 second football highlight reel from these two match videos, prioritizing goals and goalkeeper saves: https://..., https://..."
• "Create a 90 second football highlight reel from https://..., prioritizing goals and key saves."
• "Query the result for task amk-tool-video-highlights-llm-000000000000."

Do not use this skill for requests like:

• "Extract subtitles from this video." Use a video OCR or ASR skill instead.
• "Trim this video to the first 10 seconds and add a cover image." Use a video editing skill instead.

Script

Use the bundled script. The CLI flags mirror the API fields exactly: array fields (video_urls, target_duration) take a JSON array, and scalar fields take a single value.

bash

python3 scripts/video_highlights_llm.py submit \
  --video-urls '["https://example.com/match.mp4"]' \
  --preset football \
  --target-duration '[60]' \
  --callback-args "football-highlight-demo"

Multiple input videos and multiple output durations in one task are just longer arrays (target_duration allows up to 5 unique values):

bash

python3 scripts/video_highlights_llm.py submit \
  --video-urls '["https://example.com/first.mp4", "https://example.com/second.mp4"]' \
  --preset football \
  --target-duration '[60, 90]'

Query:

bash

python3 scripts/video_highlights_llm.py query \
  --task-id "amk-tool-video-highlights-llm-000000000000"

The script reads authentication in this order: --api-key, BYTEPLUS_MEDIAKIT_API_KEY, legacy MEDIAKIT_API_KEY, then ~/.mediakit/config.json. It accepts --endpoint and --header.

Prefer BYTEPLUS_MEDIAKIT_* environment variables for configuration:

• BYTEPLUS_MEDIAKIT_API_KEY
• BYTEPLUS_MEDIAKIT_ENDPOINT
• BYTEPLUS_MEDIAKIT_TT_ENV
• BYTEPLUS_MEDIAKIT_USE_PPE
• BYTEPLUS_MEDIAKIT_HEADERS
• BYTEPLUS_MEDIAKIT_RUNTIME
• BYTEPLUS_MEDIAKIT_CONFIG

Legacy MEDIAKIT_* environment variables are accepted only as lower-priority fallbacks.

The default endpoint is the production environment https://mediakit.ap-southeast-1.bytepluses.com, and no environment-specific headers are sent by default. There is no built-in PPE profile. To target an internal environment, set the header values yourself with the dedicated environment variables BYTEPLUS_MEDIAKIT_TT_ENV (sets x-tt-env) and BYTEPLUS_MEDIAKIT_USE_PPE (sets x-use-ppe). Use the environment name provided by your environment owner. For example:

bash

export BYTEPLUS_MEDIAKIT_USE_PPE="1"
export BYTEPLUS_MEDIAKIT_TT_ENV="<environment name>"
python3 scripts/video_highlights_llm.py submit --video-urls '["https://example.com/match.mp4"]'

--header (repeatable) and BYTEPLUS_MEDIAKIT_HEADERS (a JSON object) can override any header, including the two above.

Preflight:

bash

python3 scripts/video_highlights_llm.py doctor

If the API key is missing, tell the user to configure it outside the chat:

bash

export BYTEPLUS_MEDIAKIT_API_KEY="..."

or initialize/configure MediaKit so ~/.mediakit/config.json contains the key. Legacy MEDIAKIT_API_KEY works as a fallback, but do not recommend it for new setup. Do not print, log, or ask the user to paste the raw API key into the conversation.

For complex payloads, prefer a JSON file:

bash

python3 scripts/video_highlights_llm.py submit --request-json request.json

Natural Language Parsing

Map common user wording as follows:

• "make a football highlight", "soccer highlights", "match highlights", "goal highlights" -> preset=football unless the user provides a custom scoring_prompt.
• "about one minute" -> target_duration=[60].
• "90 seconds" or "one and a half minutes" -> target_duration=[90].
• "give me a 60 and a 90 second cut" or "both a one-minute and 30-second version" -> target_duration=[60, 90] / [60, 30] (up to 5 unique durations in one task).
• "prefer saves / home team / player number 10" -> custom scoring_prompt; keep preset=football if the user also specified it.
• "record scoreboard / team names / player numbers" -> custom analysis_prompt enhancement.

Only football is supported for preset. This skill does not support story_prompt or background_music_urls; if the user asks for a non-football scene (for example basketball or short drama), a story-driven cut, or background music, tell them it is not supported.

If the user supplies only a task ID, skip submission and query that task.
