What is Video Compose?

Video Compose is a powerful addition to the Openclaw Skills ecosystem designed to eliminate the steep learning curve of professional editing software. By leveraging a high-performance cloud rendering pipeline, this skill allows users to transform raw footage into professional-grade content simply by describing their desired outcome. It handles everything from simple clip stitching to complex tasks like adding text overlays, background audio, and smooth transitions.

The skill is built for speed and efficiency, typically delivering a rendered 1080p MP4 file within 1-2 minutes. It supports a wide array of formats including MP4, MOV, AVI, and WebM for video, along with various audio and image formats. Whether you are a content creator looking for a quick rough cut or an automated workflow, this skill provides a seamless interface between AI intent and high-fidelity video production.

Video Compose Use Cases

  • Combining multiple short clips into a single continuous video for social media.
  • Automatically adding background music and transitions to raw footage.
  • Creating 1080p MP4 exports from mixed media like images and video segments.
  • Batch processing multiple video files within a single project session.
  • Iterative video editing where users refine the timeline through natural language commands.

How Video Compose Works

  1. The user uploads video, audio, or image files (up to 500MB) to the secure cloud rendering pipeline.
  2. A session is initialized with a unique token, establishing a persistent project environment.
  3. The user provides natural language instructions, which are parsed to identify intents like 'combine all clips into one video with transitions and background music'.
  4. The AI generates a timeline draft, organizing tracks for video, audio, and text elements.
  5. A cloud GPU node processes the render job, applying compression and effects.
  6. The system monitors the render status and provides a final download URL for the composed MP4 file.

Video Compose Setup

To get started with this skill, ensure you have your environment variables configured. On first use, the system can automatically generate an anonymous token if needed.

# Set your API token
export NEMO_TOKEN="your_token_here"

# The skill will automatically initialize a session
# and store configuration in ~/.config/nemovideo/

Video Compose Data Schema & Taxonomy

The skill manages data through a session-based state, organizing the timeline into specific track types and metadata.

Track Type ID Description
Video 0 Primary visual layer and segments
Audio 1 Background music and voiceovers
Text 7 Overlays, titles, and captions

All project data is stored in a JSON draft format using shorthand keys (t for tracks, sg for segments) to ensure low-latency communication with the SSE stream.

Video Compose Advanced Features

  • Multi-track support allowing simultaneous management of video, BGM, and title layers.
  • Real-time SSE (Server-Sent Events) streaming for live updates on editing progress.
  • Automatic resolution matching and platform-specific H.264 compression for high-quality 1080p output.
  • Session persistence enabling users to return to a draft and make further refinements without re-uploading files.
  • Intelligent error handling for credit management and automatic re-authentication.
