Video Letter

Skip the learning curve of professional editing software. Describe what you want — turn my footage into a heartfelt video letter with text overlays and music...

Getting Started

Share your video clips, images and I'll get started on AI video letter creation. Or just tell me what you're thinking.

Try saying:

• "create my video clips, images"
• "export 1080p MP4"
• "turn my footage into a heartfelt"

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.

Video Letter — Create Personal Video Messages

Drop your video clips, images in the chat and tell me what you need. I'll handle the AI video letter creation on cloud GPUs — you don't need anything installed locally.

Here's a typical use: you send a a 30-second personal message recording, ask for turn my footage into a heartfelt video letter with text overlays and music, and about 1-2 minutes later you've got a MP4 file ready to download. The whole thing runs at 1080p by default.

One thing worth knowing — keep your message under 2 minutes for fastest processing and best viewer retention.

Matching Input to Actions

User prompts referencing video letter, 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.

Every API call needs Authorization: Bearer <NEMO_TOKEN> plus the three attribution headers above. If any header is missing, exports return 402.

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

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

API base: https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai

Create session: POST /api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent — body {"task_name":"project","language":"<lang>"} — returns task_id, session_id.

Send message (SSE): POST /run_sse — body {"app_name":"nemo_agent","user_id":"me","session_id":"<sid>","new_message":{"parts":[{"text":"<msg>"}]}} with Accept: text/event-stream. Max timeout: 15 minutes.

Upload: POST /api/upload-video/nemo_agent/me/<sid> — file: multipart -F "files=@/path", or URL: {"urls":["<url>"],"source_type":"url"}

Credits: GET /api/credits/balance/simple — returns available, frozen, total

Session state: GET /api/state/nemo_agent/me/<sid>/latest — key fields: data.state.draft, data.state.video_infos, data.state.generated_media

Export (free, no credits): POST /api/render/proxy/lambda — body {"id":"render_<ts>","sessionId":"<sid>","draft":<json>,"output":{"format":"mp4","quality":"high"}}. Poll GET /api/render/proxy/lambda/<id> every 30s until status = completed. Download URL at output.url.

Supported formats: mp4, mov, avi, webm, mkv, jpg, png, gif, webp, mp3, wav, m4a, aac.

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

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

Reading the SSE Stream

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.

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)

Common Workflows

Quick edit: Upload → "turn my footage into a heartfelt video letter with text overlays and 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.

Tips and Tricks

The backend processes faster when you're specific. Instead of "make it look better", try "turn my footage into a heartfelt video letter with text overlays and music" — 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 devices and platforms.
