What you say to the agent
No special syntax — just describe it like you would to a person.
What it does, step by step
- 1
Give the agent your clips (as HTTPS URLs), plus any transition style, text overlays, music, voiceover, or captions you want mixed in.
- 2
Ask for a free 480p preview first while you're iterating — it's cheap to keep asking for tweaks at this stage.
- 3
Once you're happy, ask for the final export — that's the charged, full-quality render.
What it needs from you
- •The clips to assemble (HTTPS URLs)
What comes back
One finished video assembling every clip, transition, and audio/caption layer you specified.
What it costs
preview:true renders a free 480p preview (per-user cooldown applies). The final export (preview:false) charges the normal editor-export price.
Under the hood
This is what the agent actually calls when you ask for it — real tools from its live surface, not marketing copy.
edit_videolist_editor_projectsget_editor_projectsave_editor_projectAgent-driven EDL render via the Versely editor pipeline (POST /features/editor-render). Stitch, trim, speed-change, caption, overlay, and mix user media (workspace/generation HTTPS URLs) into ONE final video. Prefer this over chaining cut_video + attach_audio + add_*_captions when the user wants a multi-clip assembly in a single step. Billing: preview:true is free 480p (per-user cooldown); final export (preview:false, default) charges the normal single editor_export price. Prefer preview:true while the user is iterating; only final-render after confirmation. Clips must be HTTPS URLs (file:// and other schemes rejected). Returns { video_url, credits_charged, preview_notes } or a 402-style insufficient-credits error.

Frequently asked questions
What do I actually say to the agent to build a video from clips, music, and captions?+
Just describe it in plain English — for example: "Build a video from these 4 clips with a crossfade transition, this music track underneath, and captions on top" The agent handles picking the right tool and model from there.
What does the agent need from me first?+
At minimum: The clips to assemble (HTTPS URLs). Anything else it needs, it asks for before running.
What do I get back?+
One finished video assembling every clip, transition, and audio/caption layer you specified.
Does this cost credits?+
preview:true renders a free 480p preview (per-user cooldown applies). The final export (preview:false) charges the normal editor-export price.
Is this one single action, or several?+
Behind the scenes the agent may call more than one tool to pull this off — but you only ever describe the outcome you want in one message.
