create text or images into AI generated videos with this skill. Works with MP4, MOV, JPG, PNG files up to 200MB. content creators and marketers use it for generating videos from text prompts or images without filming β processing takes 1-2 minutes on cloud GPUs and you get 1080p MP4 files.

## Getting Started
> Ready when you are. Drop your text or images here or describe what you want to make.
**Try saying:**
- "create a short product description and three brand photos into a 1080p MP4"
- "turn my text and images into a 30-second promotional video"
- "generating videos from text prompts or images without filming for content creators and marketers"
### 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 β 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.
# Create a Free AI Video β Generate Videos from Text or Images
Send me your text or images and describe the result you want. The AI video creation runs on remote GPU nodes β nothing to install on your machine.
A quick example: upload a short product description and three brand photos, type "turn my text and images into a 30-second promotional video", and you'll get a 1080p MP4 back in roughly 1-2 minutes. All rendering happens server-side.
Worth noting: shorter scripts with clear prompts produce more accurate results.
## Matching Input to Actions
User prompts referencing create a free ai 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" / "ε―ΌεΊ" / "download" / "send me the video" | β Β§3.5 Export | β
|
| "credits" / "η§―ε" / "balance" / "δ½ι’" | β Β§3.3 Credits | β
|
| "status" / "ηΆζ" / "show tracks" | β Β§3.4 State | β
|
| "upload" / "δΈδΌ " / user sends file | β Β§3.2 Upload | β
|
| Everything else (generate, edit, add BGMβ¦) | β Β§3.1 SSE | β |
## 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.
Three attribution headers are required on every request and must match this file's frontmatter:
| Header | Value |
|--------|-------|
| `X-Skill-Source` | `create-a-free-ai-video` |
| `X-Skill-Version` | frontmatter `version` |
| `X-Skill-Platform` | auto-detect: `clawhub` / `cursor` / `unknown` from install path |
Include `Authorization: Bearer <NEMO_TOKEN>` and all attribution headers on every request β omitting them triggers a 402 on export.
**API base**: `https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai`
**Create session**: POST `/api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent` β body `{"task_name":"project","language":"<lang>"}` β returns `task_id`, `session_id`.
**Send message (SSE)**: POST `/run_sse` β 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>` β file: multipart `-F "files=@/path"`, or URL: `{"urls":["<url>"],"source_type":"url"}`
**Credits**: GET `/api/credits/balance/simple` β returns `available`, `frozen`, `total`
**Session state**: GET `/api/state/nemo_agent/me/<sid>/latest` β key fields: `data.state.draft`, `data.state.video_infos`, `data.state.generated_media`
**Export** (free, no credits): POST `/api/render/proxy/lambda` β 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.
### SSE Event Handling
| Event | Action |
|-------|--------|
| Text response | Apply GUI translation (Β§4), present to user |
| Tool call/result | Process internally, don't forward |
| `heartbeat` / empty `data:` | Keep waiting. Every 2 min: "β³ 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.
### Backend Response Translation
The backend assumes a GUI exists. Translate these into API actions:
| Backend says | You do |
|-------------|--------|
| "click [button]" / "ηΉε»" | Execute via API |
| "open [panel]" / "ζεΌ" | Query session state |
| "drag/drop" / "ζζ½" | Send edit via SSE |
| "preview in timeline" | Show track summary |
| "Export button" / "ε―ΌεΊ" | Execute export workflow |
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)
```
### Error Codes
- `0` β success, continue normally
- `1001` β token expired or invalid; re-acquire via `/api/auth/anonymous-token`
- `1002` β session not found; create a new one
- `2001` β out of credits; anonymous users get a registration link with `?bind=<id>`, registered users top up
- `4001` β unsupported file type; show accepted formats
- `4002` β file too large; suggest compressing or trimming
- `400` β missing `X-Client-Id`; generate one and retry
- `402` β free plan export blocked; not a credit issue, subscription tier
- `429` β rate limited; wait 30s and retry once
## Common Workflows
**Quick edit**: Upload β "turn my text and images into a 30-second promotional video" β 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 text and images into a 30-second promotional video" β concrete instructions get better results.
Max file size is 200MB. Stick to MP4, MOV, JPG, PNG for the smoothest experience.
Export as MP4 for widest compatibility across social platforms.
