Openvid

What This Skill Does

The Openvid skill enables your AI agent to produce high-quality, professional motion graphics and branded explainer videos directly from text prompts and public website URLs. By leveraging the Openvid service, your agent acts as a creative director that analyzes the visual identity of a brand—such as logos, colors, and typography extracted from a provided URL—and synthesizes them into dynamic video content. This is a specialized service skill, meaning the heavy lifting of video rendering is offloaded to the Openvid API, allowing your agent to remain focused on task orchestration and intent analysis rather than local processing.

Installation

To add this capability to your agent, run the following command in your OpenClaw terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/aklo360/openvid

Once installed, ensure your agent has access to a configured wallet, as this skill utilizes the x402 HTTP payment protocol for all video generation requests. The agent's wallet will handle the necessary transactions (USDC on Base or SOL on Solana) to compensate for the compute costs associated with rendering your videos.

Use Cases

• Marketing Automation: Automatically generate branded video snippets for new product launches or social media updates based on a company landing page.
• Content Creation Scaling: Produce recurring explainer videos for SaaS documentation or YouTube shorts without manual video editing tools.
• Dynamic Reporting: Transform complex research or summary text into engaging visual presentations for clients.
• Real-time Branding: Create personalized video intros or advertisements by pulling brand assets from a client's website on the fly.

Example Prompts

1. "Create a 30-second explainer video for https://stripe.com highlighting their new checkout features."
2. "Use the branding from https://openai.com to generate a 60-second video explaining the history of transformer models."
3. "Make a 15-second promotional clip for my site https://example-company.com focusing on our core mission of sustainable tech."

Tips & Limitations

• Privacy First: Only provide public, internet-accessible URLs. Do not pass internal dashboard URLs, private company portals, or sensitive content that requires authentication, as the video generation service needs open access to scrape brand elements.
• Payment Handling: This skill utilizes x402, an automated pay-per-call system. Ensure your wallet has sufficient funds on the supported chains (Base/USDC or Solana/SOL) before triggering the skill to avoid request failures.
• Data Retention: Keep in mind that generated videos are stored on Cloudflare R2 for only 7 days. Be sure to download and save any important renders to your local storage or permanent cloud storage immediately after the job status marks as 'completed'.
• Duration Matters: Choose your duration (15s, 30s, 60s, or 90s) wisely, as pricing scales with the length of the requested content.
