What this skill does
Create AI videos with Sora 2, Veo 3, Seedance, Runway, and modern APIs using reliable prompt and rendering workflows.
AI Video Generation is part of the Developer Tools category — developer tools that help your agent write, review, debug, and ship code. You can install it on its own or alongside other developer tools skills from the OpenClaw catalog.
How to install AI Video Generation
The easiest path is via the OpenClaw Easy desktop app — one click, no terminal required:
- Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
- Open the in-app Skills panel.
- Search for
video-generationand click Install. - The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.
Install from the command line
If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add AI Video Generation with a single command:
openclaw skills add video-generation
This pulls video-generation from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/video-generation/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.
How to use AI Video Generation
Once installed, AI Video Generation activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.
Turning video into a finished short
AI Video Generation works with video. Getting from there to something postable is a separate job: ViralMint — an open-source video pipeline — reframes to vertical, cleans the audio, cuts dead air, burns animated captions, and exports a version sized for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
It runs as an MCP server, so an OpenClaw agent can drive it from the same chat you already use: ask for a short, and the render comes back finished. See how to connect a video pipeline to your agent.
