Youtube Editor

What This Skill Does

The YouTube Editor skill is an end-to-end automation powerhouse designed for content creators who need to scale their production. It streamlines the entire video lifecycle: fetching raw footage, transcribing audio with Whisper, performing semantic analysis with GPT-4, and designing high-conversion thumbnails. It is particularly optimized for the Korean creator market, featuring built-in font support and character consistency models that ensure your branding stays recognizable across every video you publish.

Installation

To integrate this into your workflow, ensure your system has FFmpeg installed, as it is the core engine for video processing. Run the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/jeong-wooseok/youtube-editor. Once installed, you must provide the mandatory OPENAI_API_KEY in your environment settings. If you wish to leverage the professional AI thumbnail generation, you must also provide a NANO_BANANA_KEY and install the optional dependencies (playwright and rembg).

Use Cases

• Bulk Content Repurposing: Automatically convert long-form streams or interviews into short-form clips with auto-generated subtitles.
• Rapid Thumbnail Iteration: Quickly generate consistent, branded thumbnails for various video topics without manual design work.
• SEO Optimization: Let GPT-4 analyze your video content to craft high-performing Korean-language titles, meta-descriptions, and tag clouds to boost YouTube search visibility.
• Automated Archive Processing: Download and index your existing video catalog to create searchable transcripts and metadata libraries.

Example Prompts

1. "Download the video from [URL] and generate a full Korean transcript along with three catchy video titles."
2. "Create a thumbnail for my new vlog about AI coding, ensuring the main character looks consistent with my previous uploads."
3. "Analyze the content of the downloaded video and write a YouTube description that includes relevant hashtags and highlights the key takeaways."

Tips & Limitations

• Character Consistency: For the best results in thumbnail generation, ensure you have provided a high-quality reference image of your avatar or brand character.
• Performance: Complex image processing and high-resolution video transcoding are resource-intensive; ensure your host machine has adequate CPU/RAM when processing long files.
• Security: The skill includes strict URL validation; it will only process videos from authorized domains to prevent accidental exposure to malicious local assets. Always keep your API keys secure and rotate them if you suspect unauthorized access to your environment variables.
