muapi-media-editing

What This Skill Does

The muapi-media-editing skill serves as a powerful bridge between OpenClaw and the MuAPI ecosystem, enabling sophisticated, AI-driven manipulation of visual content. It streamlines complex workflows—such as background removal, video lip-syncing, and generative style transfers—into simple, actionable shell commands. By leveraging state-of-the-art models like Flux Kontext, LatentSync, and Wan AI, this tool allows developers and power users to programmatically edit media assets without needing to manually operate web-based editing suites. It acts as a wrapper that handles API communication, allowing for seamless batch processing and automated content pipelines.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, ensure you have the core system requirements installed (curl, jq, and python3). First, verify that you have exported your MUAPI_KEY in your environment, as the API will reject unauthorized requests. Once prepared, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/anil-matcha/muapi-edit

After installation, verify that the scripts are executable by running bash edit-image.sh --help to confirm the environment is correctly configured to communicate with the MuAPI backend.

Use Cases

This skill is highly effective for content creators, social media managers, and developers building automated media pipelines. Common use cases include generating professional product photography from raw images using the enhancement tools, creating personalized marketing videos through lip-syncing audio to existing footage, and rapidly prototyping video effects like face-swapping or stylized dance animations for creative social media content. It is also excellent for bulk cleaning media libraries by automating background removal and upscaling.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, use the muapi-media-editing tool to upscale this product photo for our store banner: [IMAGE_URL]"
2. "Take this recorded speech audio and the provided video clip, then perform a lip-sync edit so it matches the speaker's mouth movements."
3. "Please apply the Ghibli anime style filter to the portrait I just uploaded to the workspace and remove the cluttered background."

Tips & Limitations

• API Costs: Be aware that each request consumes credits associated with your MuAPI account; monitor usage for high-volume tasks.
• Asset URLs: Ensure the image-url or video-url provided is publicly accessible, as the MuAPI backend needs to download the raw media to process it.
• Async Operations: For large video files (like lip-sync or heavy effects), always use the --async flag to prevent your local terminal from hanging while waiting for the GPU-intensive cloud processing to complete.
• Format Support: Verify that your input files meet the format constraints (e.g., MP4 for video, JPG/PNG for images) specified by individual API endpoints to avoid processing errors.
