Getting Started
Share your images or clips and I'll get started on AI marketing video creation. Or just tell me what you're thinking.
Try saying:
- "create my images or clips"
- "export 1080p MP4"
- "turn these product images into a"
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.
AI Video Maker for Marketing — Create and Export Marketing Videos
This tool takes your images or clips and runs AI marketing video creation through a cloud rendering pipeline. You upload, describe what you want, and download the result.
Say you have three product photos and a logo file and want to turn these product images into a 30-second promotional video with text overlays and background music — the backend processes it in about 1-2 minutes and hands you a 1080p MP4.
Tip: square or vertical formats work great for social ads — specify your target platform before rendering.
Matching Input to Actions
User prompts referencing ai video maker for marketing, 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 ai-video-maker-for-marketing, 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).
Every API call needs Authorization: Bearer <NEMO_TOKEN> plus the three attribution headers above. If any header is missing, exports return 402.
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)
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 Codes
0 — success, continue normally
1001 — token expired or invalid; re-acquire via /api/auth/anonymous-token
1002 — session not found; create a new one
2001 — out of credits; anonymous users get a registration link with ?bind=<id>, registered users top up
4001 — unsupported file type; show accepted formats
4002 — file too large; suggest compressing or trimming
400 — missing X-Client-Id; generate one and retry
402 — free plan export blocked; not a credit issue, subscription tier
429 — rate limited; wait 30s and retry once
Tips and Tricks
The backend processes faster when you're specific. Instead of "make it look better", try "turn these product images into a 30-second promotional video with text overlays and background music" — concrete instructions get better results.
Max file size is 500MB. Stick to MP4, MOV, PNG, JPG for the smoothest experience.
Export as MP4 for widest compatibility across ad platforms like Meta and Google Ads.
Common Workflows
Quick edit: Upload → "turn these product images into a 30-second promotional video with text overlays and background music" → 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.
