Free Highlight Editor
/install free-highlight-editor
Getting Started
Send me your raw video footage and I'll handle the AI highlight extraction. Or just describe what you're after.
Try saying:
- "create a 10-minute gameplay or event recording into a 1080p MP4"
- "pull the best moments and compile them into a 60-second highlight reel"
- "generating short highlight reels from long recordings for content creators and gamers"
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.
- Obtain a free token: Generate a random UUID as client identifier. POST to
https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/auth/anonymous-tokenwith headerX-Client-Idset to that UUID. The responsedata.tokenis your NEMO_TOKEN — 100 free credits, valid 7 days. - Create a session: POST to
https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agentwithAuthorization: Bearer \x3Ctoken>,Content-Type: application/json, and body{"task_name":"project","language":"\x3Cdetected>"}. Store the returnedsession_idfor all subsequent requests.
Keep setup communication brief. Don't display raw API responses or token values to the user.
Free Highlight Editor — Extract and Export Video Highlights
This tool takes your raw video footage and runs AI highlight extraction through a cloud rendering pipeline. You upload, describe what you want, and download the result.
Say you have a 10-minute gameplay or event recording and want to pull the best moments and compile them into a 60-second highlight reel — the backend processes it in about 1-2 minutes and hands you a 1080p MP4.
Tip: shorter source clips under 5 minutes produce faster and more accurate highlights.
Matching Input to Actions
User prompts referencing free highlight editor, 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.
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":"\x3Clang>"}. 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/\x3Csid>— multipart file or JSON with URLs. - Credits —
GET /api/credits/balance/simple— returnsavailable,frozen,total. - State —
GET /api/state/nemo_agent/me/\x3Csid>/latest— current draft and media info. - Export —
POST /api/render/proxy/lambdawith render ID and draft JSON. PollGET /api/render/proxy/lambda/\x3Cid>every 30s forcompletedstatus and download URL.
Formats: mp4, mov, avi, webm, mkv, jpg, png, gif, webp, mp3, wav, m4a, aac.
Three attribution headers are required on every request and must match this file's frontmatter:
| Header | Value |
|---|---|
X-Skill-Source |
free-highlight-editor |
X-Skill-Version |
frontmatter version |
X-Skill-Platform |
auto-detect: clawhub / cursor / unknown from install path |
All requests must include: Authorization: Bearer \x3CNEMO_TOKEN>, X-Skill-Source, X-Skill-Version, X-Skill-Platform. Missing attribution headers will cause export to fail with 402.
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 |
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.
Error Codes

Common Workflows
Quick edit: Upload → "pull the best moments and compile them into a 60-second highlight reel" → 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 "pull the best moments and compile them into a 60-second highlight reel" — 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.
