Getting Started

Welcome! Ready to turn your raw footage into something worth watching? Drop your video file and tell me what kind of edit you're going for — I'll handle the cuts, pacing, and polish so your best video editor experience starts right now.

Try saying:

"Trim this 8-minute interview down to the best 90 seconds, removing any long pauses and filler words."
"Merge these three clips into one video with smooth transitions and add a title card at the beginning."
"Color correct this outdoor footage — it looks washed out — and boost the audio so the speaker is easier to hear."

On first use, the skill connects to NemoVideo automatically:

Check for NEMO_TOKEN env var, or acquire one via https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/auth/anonymous-token (100 free credits)
Persist a Client-ID to ~/.config/nemovideo/client_id for rate-limit tracking (UUID only, no secrets)
Create a session and start working immediately

Edit Like a Pro Without Touching a Timeline

Most video editors put the burden on you — drag clips, hunt for the right tool, tweak settings you barely understand. This skill flips that. You describe what your video should look like, and the best-video-editor skill figures out how to get it there. Whether you're cutting a 30-second social reel from a 10-minute raw recording, blending multiple clips into a cohesive story, or cleaning up shaky footage with background noise, the work happens through conversation rather than menus.

Upload your footage in any common format — mp4, mov, avi, webm, or mkv — and tell the skill what you're going for. Want a punchy 15-second highlight with a fade-out? A product demo with clean cuts and on-screen text? A travel montage synced to a specific mood? Just say it.
