Description
Skip the learning curve of professional editing software. Describe what you want — add English subtitles to my video like VLC would — and get subtitled video...
README (SKILL.md)

Getting Started

Got video files to work with? Send it over and tell me what you need — I'll take care of the subtitle embedding.

Try saying:

  • "add a 10-minute tutorial video in MP4 format into a 1080p MP4"
  • "add English subtitles to my video like VLC would"
  • "adding subtitles to videos without VLC for everyday video viewers and 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 — 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.

Add Subtitle to Video VLC — Embed Subtitles Into Any Video

This tool takes your video files and runs subtitle embedding through a cloud rendering pipeline. You upload, describe what you want, and download the result.

Say you have a 10-minute tutorial video in MP4 format and want to add English subtitles to my video like VLC would — the backend processes it in about 30-60 seconds and hands you a 1080p MP4.

Tip: uploading shorter clips speeds up subtitle processing significantly.

Matching Input to Actions

User prompts referencing add subtitle to video vlc, 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:

  1. SessionPOST /api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent with {"task_name":"project","language":"\x3Clang>"}. Gives you a session_id.
  2. Chat (SSE)POST /run_sse with session_id and your message in new_message.parts[0].text. Set Accept: text/event-stream. Up to 15 min.
  3. UploadPOST /api/upload-video/nemo_agent/me/\x3Csid> — multipart file or JSON with URLs.
  4. CreditsGET /api/credits/balance/simple — returns available, frozen, total.
  5. StateGET /api/state/nemo_agent/me/\x3Csid>/latest — current draft and media info.
  6. ExportPOST /api/render/proxy/lambda with render ID and draft JSON. Poll GET /api/render/proxy/lambda/\x3Cid> every 30s for completed status 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 add-subtitle-to-video-vlc
X-Skill-Version frontmatter version
X-Skill-Platform auto-detect: clawhub / cursor / unknown from install path

Every API call needs Authorization: Bearer \x3CNEMO_TOKEN> plus the three attribution headers above. If any header is missing, exports return 402.

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)

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 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=\x3Cid> (get \x3Cid> 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

Common Workflows

Quick edit: Upload → "add English subtitles to my video like VLC would" → Download MP4. Takes 30-60 seconds 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 "add English subtitles to my video like VLC would" — concrete instructions get better results.

Max file size is 500MB. Stick to MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV for the smoothest experience.

Export as MP4 for widest compatibility across devices and platforms.

Usage Guidance
This skill will upload your video files to a third-party cloud service (mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai) for processing. It needs a NEMO_TOKEN (or will request an anonymous token on your behalf) and will send Authorization and several attribution headers with each request. Before installing or using it: (1) confirm you’re comfortable uploading the specific videos you plan to process (do not upload sensitive/private content without checking the service's privacy/retention policies), (2) verify the service/domain and look for a homepage/privacy policy or terms (none were provided in the registry metadata), (3) be aware anonymous tokens expire (7 days) and the skill may obtain them automatically, and (4) note the SKILL.md frontmatter references a config path (~/.config/nemovideo/) not listed in the registry metadata — consider asking the publisher why that discrepancy exists. If you need to protect sensitive content, do not use this skill until you can verify the backend and its policies.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: add-subtitle-to-video-vlc Version: 1.0.0 The skill provides a functional interface for a cloud-based video subtitling service hosted at mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai. It includes standard procedures for session management, file uploads, and automated anonymous authentication. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, unauthorized file access, or malicious prompt injection; the instructions actually include a security best practice advising the agent not to expose API tokens or raw backend output to the user.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill claims to add/encode subtitles into videos via a cloud rendering pipeline. The SKILL.md describes API endpoints for upload, render, and export and requires a NEMO_TOKEN; these requirements are coherent with the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
All instructions are focused on creating a session, uploading media, driving SSE or REST edit/export flows, and returning download URLs. The runtime steps involve obtaining/using a NEMO_TOKEN (or requesting an anonymous token), uploading video files (up to 500MB), polling render status, and returning results — all within the stated scope. The skill does not instruct reading unrelated system files or unrelated credentials.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec or code files, so nothing is written to disk by an installer. That is the lowest-risk installation approach and is proportionate for an API-driven skill.
Credentials
The only required environment credential is NEMO_TOKEN (declared as primaryEnv and used for Authorization). The SKILL.md also describes obtaining an anonymous token if none is present, which is consistent with operation without a user-supplied token. However, the SKILL.md frontmatter includes a config path (~/.config/nemovideo/) that registry metadata did not list earlier — this metadata mismatch is noteworthy but not by itself dangerous.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true and does not ask to modify other skills or system-wide settings. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default), which combined with cloud uploads increases the need for user awareness but is not in itself suspicious.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
