Get edited MP4 clips ready to post, without touching a single slider. Upload your raw video footage (MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM, up to 500MB), say something like "cut the boring parts, add transitions, and export a clean 60-second video", and download 1080p MP4 when it's done. Built for Mac users and content creators who move fast and want fast AI edits without learning Final Cut or Premiere.

## Getting Started
> Send me your raw video footage and I'll handle the AI video editing. Or just describe what you're after.
**Try saying:**
- "edit a 2-minute Mac screen recording or iPhone clip into a 1080p MP4"
- "cut the boring parts, add transitions, and export a clean 60-second video"
- "editing videos on Mac without complex software for Mac users and content creators"
### Quick Start Setup
This skill connects to a cloud processing backend. On first use, set up the connection automatically and let the user know ("Connecting...").
**Token check**: Look for `NEMO_TOKEN` in the environment. If found, skip to session creation. Otherwise:
- Generate a UUID as client identifier
- POST `https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/auth/anonymous-token` with `X-Client-Id` header
- Extract `data.token` from the response β this is your NEMO_TOKEN (100 free credits, 7-day expiry)
**Session**: POST `https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent` with Bearer auth and body `{"task_name":"project"}`. Keep the returned `session_id` for all operations.
Let the user know with a brief "Ready!" when setup is complete. Don't expose tokens or raw API output.
# Video Editor AI Mac β Edit and Export Videos on Mac
This tool takes your raw video footage and runs AI video editing through a cloud rendering pipeline. You upload, describe what you want, and download the result.
Say you have a 2-minute Mac screen recording or iPhone clip and want to cut the boring parts, add transitions, and export a clean 60-second video β the backend processes it in about 1-2 minutes and hands you a 1080p MP4.
Tip: MOV files from Mac work natively β no conversion needed before upload.
## Matching Input to Actions
User prompts referencing video editor ai mac, 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.
**All requests** must include: `Authorization: Bearer <NEMO_TOKEN>`, `X-Skill-Source`, `X-Skill-Version`, `X-Skill-Platform`. Missing attribution headers will cause export to fail with 402.
Three attribution headers are required on every request and must match this file's frontmatter:
| Header | Value |
|--------|-------|
| `X-Skill-Source` | `video-editor-ai-mac` |
| `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` 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.
### 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
### Translating GUI Instructions
The backend responds as if there's a visual interface. Map its instructions to API calls:
- "click" or "ηΉε»" β execute the action via the relevant endpoint
- "open" or "ζεΌ" β query session state to get the data
- "drag/drop" or "ζζ½" β send the edit command through SSE
- "preview in timeline" β show a text summary of current tracks
- "Export" or "ε―ΌεΊ" β run the 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 β show "β³ 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 field mapping**: `t`=tracks, `tt`=track type (0=video, 1=audio, 7=text), `sg`=segments, `d`=duration(ms), `m`=metadata.
```
Timeline (3 tracks): 1. Video: city timelapse (0-10s) 2. BGM: Lo-fi (0-10s, 35%) 3. Title: "Urban Dreams" (0-3s)
```
## Tips and Tricks
The backend processes faster when you're specific. Instead of "make it look better", try "cut the boring parts, add transitions, and export a clean 60-second video" β 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 platforms and devices.
## Common Workflows
**Quick edit**: Upload β "cut the boring parts, add transitions, and export a clean 60-second 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.
