Description
add video files into music-enhanced videos with this skill. Works with MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM files up to 500MB. YouTubers use it for adding background music to...
README (SKILL.md)

Getting Started

Send me your video files and I'll handle the AI music addition. Or just describe what you're after.

Try saying:

  • "add a 3-minute YouTube vlog in MP4 format into a 1080p MP4"
  • "add background music to my YouTube video and fade it out at the end"
  • "adding background music to YouTube videos for YouTubers"

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.

How to Add Music to a YouTube Video — Add Music and Export Videos

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

Say you have a 3-minute YouTube vlog in MP4 format and want to add background music to my YouTube video and fade it out at the end — the backend processes it in about 30-60 seconds and hands you a 1080p MP4.

Tip: shorter video clips process faster, so trim your footage before uploading if possible.

Matching Input to Actions

User prompts referencing how to add music to a youtube video, 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 how-to-add-music-to-a-youtube-video
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

  • 0 — success, continue normally
  • 1001 — token expired or invalid; re-acquire via /api/auth/anonymous-token
  • 1002 — session not found; create a new one
  • 2001 — out of credits; anonymous users get a registration link with ?bind=\x3Cid>, registered users top up
  • 4001 — unsupported file type; show accepted formats
  • 4002 — file too large; suggest compressing or trimming
  • 400 — missing X-Client-Id; generate one and retry
  • 402 — free plan export blocked; not a credit issue, subscription tier
  • 429 — rate limited; wait 30s and retry once

Tips and Tricks

The backend processes faster when you're specific. Instead of "make it look better", try "add background music to my YouTube video and fade it out at the end" — 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 with YouTube uploads.

Common Workflows

Quick edit: Upload → "add background music to my YouTube video and fade it out at the end" → 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.

Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: it uploads your video to a third‑party service (nemovideo.ai), runs cloud rendering to add background music, and returns a download link. Before using: (1) confirm you trust https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai and review its privacy/terms, since you will upload potentially sensitive or copyrighted video/audio; (2) understand that NEMO_TOKEN grants access to the service — the skill can also obtain a temporary anonymous token if none is provided; (3) there is no bundled code, but the skill will send your files to an external backend, so avoid sending data you do not want hosted there; (4) if you prefer tighter control, provide your own NEMO_TOKEN tied to an account you control or skip the skill. The skill source is unknown (no homepage), so consider verifying the owner or using alternative, known tools if you have high security/privacy requirements.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: how-to-add-music-to-a-youtube-video Version: 1.0.0 The skill is a functional wrapper for the NemoVideo AI service, providing instructions for an AI agent to automate video music addition and rendering. It handles authentication via the 'NEMO_TOKEN' environment variable or an anonymous token endpoint at 'mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai', and manages video processing tasks through a defined cloud pipeline. The instructions are transparent, aligned with the stated purpose, and do not exhibit signs of data exfiltration, unauthorized system access, or malicious prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill is an instruction-only integration with a cloud video-processing backend and requires a single service token (NEMO_TOKEN) and an optional config path for nemovideo — both are consistent with a cloud render/add-music service. No unrelated binaries, services, or credentials are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only describes creating/using a session with https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai, uploading video assets, running SSE chat-like edits, polling export status, and returning download URLs. It does not instruct the agent to read unrelated system files or exfiltrate arbitrary data. It does require sending user media to the third‑party backend (expected for this feature).
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files — the skill is instruction-only and does not download or write code to disk, which is the lowest-risk install model.
Credentials
Only one credential is declared (NEMO_TOKEN), which is appropriate for a cloud API. The SKILL.md also documents a fallback anonymous-token flow (POST to /api/auth/anonymous-token) so the env var is helpful but not strictly required. Metadata lists a config path (~/.config/nemovideo/) — that is plausible for storing user tokens but the SKILL.md does not explicitly instruct reading arbitrary host config files.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false, there is no installation that forces persistent system-wide presence, and the skill does not request modification of other skills or system-wide configs. Autonomous invocation is enabled but is the platform default.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
