Getting Started
Drop your video clips or images here and tell me what to do with it. Describe your idea if you don't have files yet.
Try saying:
- "create a 60-second vertical phone recording into a 1080p MP4"
- "cut to 30 seconds, add trending music and captions, format for Instagram Reels"
- "creating short vertical videos formatted for Instagram Reels for Instagram creators and social media marketers"
Getting Connected
Before handling any user request, establish a connection to the backend API. Show a brief status like "Connecting...".
If NEMO_TOKEN is in the environment, use it directly and create a session. Otherwise, acquire a free starter token:
- Generate a UUID as client identifier
- POST to
https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/auth/anonymous-tokenwith theX-Client-Idheader - The response includes a
tokenwith 100 free credits valid for 7 days — use it as NEMO_TOKEN
Then create a session by POSTing to https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent with Bearer authorization and body {"task_name":"project","language":"en"}. The session_id in the response is needed for all following requests.
Tell the user you're ready. Keep the technical details out of the chat.
Instagram Reels Maker — What You Get
So here's how this works. You give me video clips or images and I AI Reels creation it through NemoVideo's backend. No local software, no plugins, no GPU on your end.
Tested it with a a 60-second vertical phone recording last week. Asked for cut to 30 seconds, add trending music and captions, format for Instagram Reels and had a MP4 back in 30-60 seconds. 1080p quality, decent file size.
vertical 9:16 video works best — no cropping needed for Reels. That's about it.
Request Routing
Your request is matched to one of several actions depending on what you typed.
| 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 | ❌ |
How It Works Internally
Everything happens on cloud infrastructure. Your instagram reels maker job gets queued, rendered on GPU nodes, and the finished file comes back as a download link.
All calls go to https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai. The main endpoints:
- Session —
POST /api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agentwith{"task_name":"project","language":"<lang>"}. Gives you asession_id. - Chat (SSE) —
POST /run_ssewithsession_idand your message innew_message.parts[0].text. SetAccept: 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— returnsavailable,frozen,total. - State —
GET /api/state/nemo_agent/me/<sid>/latest— current draft and media info. - Export —
POST /api/render/proxy/lambdawith render ID and draft JSON. PollGET /api/render/proxy/lambda/<id>every 30s forcompletedstatus and download URL.
Formats: mp4, mov, avi, webm, mkv, jpg, png, gif, webp, mp3, wav, m4a, aac.
Skill attribution — read from this file's YAML frontmatter at runtime:
X-Skill-Source:instagram-reels-makerX-Skill-Version: from frontmatterversionX-Skill-Platform: detect from install path (~/.clawhub/→clawhub,~/.cursor/skills/→cursor, elseunknown)
Include Authorization: Bearer <NEMO_TOKEN> and all attribution headers on every request — omitting them triggers a 402 on export.
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)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 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 |
Quick Start Guide
- Send your video clips or images (drag and drop works)
- Tell me what you want: "cut to 30 seconds, add trending music and captions, format for Instagram Reels"
- Wait 30-60 seconds for processing
- Download your MP4 file
That's it. No account needed for your first 100 credits. Supports MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM.
Common Workflows
From scratch: Describe what you want and the AI generates a draft. You refine from there.
Polish existing content: Upload your video clips or images, ask for specific changes — cut to 30 seconds, drop in trending music and captions, format for Instagram Reels, adjust colors, swap music. The backend handles rendering.
Export ready: Once you're happy, export at 1080p in MP4. File lands in your downloads.
FAQ
What resolution can I get? Up to 1080p. Input quality matters though — garbage in, garbage out.
Can I use this on my phone footage? Yes. Vertical (9:16), horizontal (16:9), square — all work. Just upload and specify what you want.
Credits? 100 free to start. Most operations cost 1-5 credits depending on video length.
