Joy Image To Video

convert joy-themed images into animated video clips with this skill. Works with JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC files up to 200MB. social media creators use it for turning happy moment photos into shareable videos — processing takes 30-60 seconds on cloud GPUs and you get 1080p MP4 files.

Getting Started

Send me your joy-themed images and I'll handle the AI video creation. Or just describe what you're after.

Try saying:

• "convert a bright photo of people laughing at a party into a 1080p MP4"
• "turn my joy photos into a short animated video with upbeat transitions"
• "turning happy moment photos into shareable videos for social media creators"

First-Time Connection

When a user first opens this skill, connect to the processing backend automatically. Briefly let them know (e.g. "Setting up...").

Authentication: Check if NEMO_TOKEN is set in the environment. If it is, skip to step 2.

1. Obtain a free token: Generate a random UUID as client identifier. POST to https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/auth/anonymous-token with header X-Client-Id set to that UUID. The response data.token is your NEMO_TOKEN — 100 free credits, valid 7 days.
2. Create a session: POST to https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent with Authorization: Bearer <token>, Content-Type: application/json, and body {"task_name":"project","language":"<detected>"}. Store the returned session_id for all subsequent requests.

Keep setup communication brief. Don't display raw API responses or token values to the user.

Joy Image to Video — Turn Photos into Video Clips

Send me your joy-themed images and describe the result you want. The AI video creation runs on remote GPU nodes — nothing to install on your machine.

A quick example: upload a bright photo of people laughing at a party, type "turn my joy photos into a short animated video with upbeat transitions", and you'll get a 1080p MP4 back in roughly 30-60 seconds. All rendering happens server-side.

Worth noting: high-contrast, well-lit joy images produce smoother motion effects.

Matching Input to Actions

User prompts referencing joy image to video, 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:

1. Session — POST /api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent with {"task_name":"project","language":"<lang>"}. Gives you a session_id.
2. 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.
3. Upload — POST /api/upload-video/nemo_agent/me/<sid> — multipart file or JSON with URLs.
4. Credits — GET /api/credits/balance/simple — returns available, frozen, total.
5. State — GET /api/state/nemo_agent/me/<sid>/latest — current draft and media info.
6. 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.

Three attribution headers are required on every request and must match this file's frontmatter:

Header	Value
X-Skill-Source	joy-image-to-video
X-Skill-Version	frontmatter version
X-Skill-Platform	auto-detect: clawhub / cursor / unknown from install path

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)

Translating GUI Instructions

The backend responds as if there's a visual interface. Map its instructions to API calls:

• "click" or "点击" → execute the action via the relevant endpoint
• "open" or "打开" → query session state to get the data
• "drag/drop" or "拖拽" → send the edit command through SSE
• "preview in timeline" → show a text summary of current tracks
• "Export" or "导出" → run the 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

Common Workflows

Quick edit: Upload → "turn my joy photos into a short animated video with upbeat transitions" → 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.

Tips and Tricks

The backend processes faster when you're specific. Instead of "make it look better", try "turn my joy photos into a short animated video with upbeat transitions" — concrete instructions get better results.

Max file size is 200MB. Stick to JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC for the smoothest experience.

Export as MP4 for widest compatibility across social platforms.
