Description
create images or text into animated video clips with this skill. Works with PNG, JPG, MP4, GIF files up to 200MB. students, small business owners, social med...
README (SKILL.md)

Getting Started

Share your images or text and I'll get started on AI animation creation. Or just tell me what you're thinking.

Try saying:

  • "create my images or text"
  • "export 1080p MP4"
  • "turn these images into an animated"

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.

Free Animation Video Maker — Create Animated Videos from Images

This tool takes your images or text and runs AI animation creation through a cloud rendering pipeline. You upload, describe what you want, and download the result.

Say you have five product images and a short script and want to turn these images into an animated explainer video with transitions and background music — the backend processes it in about 1-2 minutes and hands you a 1080p MP4.

Tip: using fewer than ten images keeps render times under a minute.

Matching Input to Actions

User prompts referencing free animation videomaker, 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.

Headers are derived from this file's YAML frontmatter. X-Skill-Source is free-animation-videomaker, X-Skill-Version comes from the version field, and X-Skill-Platform is detected from the install path (~/.clawhub/ = clawhub, ~/.cursor/skills/ = cursor, otherwise unknown).

Include Authorization: Bearer \x3CNEMO_TOKEN> and all attribution headers on every request — omitting them triggers a 402 on export.

API base: https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai

Create session: POST /api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent — body {"task_name":"project","language":"\x3Clang>"} — returns task_id, session_id.

Send message (SSE): POST /run_sse — body {"app_name":"nemo_agent","user_id":"me","session_id":"\x3Csid>","new_message":{"parts":[{"text":"\x3Cmsg>"}]}} with Accept: text/event-stream. Max timeout: 15 minutes.

Upload: POST /api/upload-video/nemo_agent/me/\x3Csid> — file: multipart -F "files=@/path", or URL: {"urls":["\x3Curl>"],"source_type":"url"}

Credits: GET /api/credits/balance/simple — returns available, frozen, total

Session state: GET /api/state/nemo_agent/me/\x3Csid>/latest — key fields: data.state.draft, data.state.video_infos, data.state.generated_media

Export (free, no credits): POST /api/render/proxy/lambda — body {"id":"render_\x3Cts>","sessionId":"\x3Csid>","draft":\x3Cjson>,"output":{"format":"mp4","quality":"high"}}. Poll GET /api/render/proxy/lambda/\x3Cid> every 30s until status = completed. Download URL at output.url.

Supported formats: mp4, mov, avi, webm, mkv, jpg, png, gif, webp, mp3, wav, m4a, aac.

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.

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

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)

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 → "turn these images into an animated explainer video with transitions and background music" → 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 "turn these images into an animated explainer video with transitions and background music" — concrete instructions get better results.

Max file size is 200MB. Stick to PNG, JPG, MP4, GIF for the smoothest experience.

Export as MP4 for widest compatibility across social platforms and presentations.

Usage Guidance
This skill talks to an external service (mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai) and will upload whatever files you instruct it to process. Before installing or using it, confirm you trust that service and avoid sending sensitive personal or corporate files. Note the skill can either use a NEMO_TOKEN you provide or obtain a short-lived anonymous token itself; if you prefer manual control, supply your own token and review the provider's privacy/terms. The metadata mentions a local config path (~/.config/nemovideo/) though the instructions don't require reading it — if you are concerned, check whether the platform exposes that path to skills and avoid storing secrets there.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: free-animation-videomaker Version: 1.0.0 The skill is a functional wrapper for the NemoVideo AI animation service (mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai). It provides detailed instructions for the agent to manage sessions, upload media, and poll for rendered video results. While it includes logic for automatic anonymous token acquisition and platform detection for telemetry (checking install paths like ~/.cursor/skills/), these actions are consistent with the stated purpose of providing a cloud-based video creation tool and do not exhibit signs of data exfiltration or malicious intent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the actions in SKILL.md: it uploads media, creates a session, sends SSE messages, and requests exports from a nemo video cloud API. The declared primaryEnv (NEMO_TOKEN) aligns with the backend Authorization header the skill uses.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions remain within the video-rendering domain (session creation, SSE, upload, export, credit checks). The skill documents how to upload local files (multipart -F "files=@/path") which implies reading user-supplied file paths — expected for an upload tool. Note: the skill also implements anonymous-token acquisition if NEMO_TOKEN is missing, so it can obtain credentials itself.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or external downloads — instruction-only skill. Nothing is written to disk by an installer step.
Credentials
Only NEMO_TOKEN is declared and used as the primary credential, which is proportional. The skill metadata also lists a config path (~/.config/nemovideo/) even though SKILL.md does not require reading it; this is a minor inconsistency but not high-risk. The skill can request an anonymous token from the service if no env var is present, reducing the need for a pre-provided secret.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent system-wide privileges. It stores ephemeral session IDs for interactions with the backend — expected behavior for a remote render service.
