# VideoDB Skills
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
|
|
The only video skill your agent needs. Upload any video, connect real-time streams, search inside by what was said or shown, build complex editing workflows with overlays, generate AI media, add subtitles, and get instant streaming links — all via the VideoDB Python SDK.
|
|
|
|
## When to Use This Skill
|
|
|
|
- User wants to upload and process videos from YouTube, URLs, or local files
|
|
- User needs to search for moments by speech or visual scenes
|
|
- User asks for transcription, subtitles, or subtitle styling
|
|
- User wants to edit clips — trim, combine, add text/image/audio overlays
|
|
- User needs AI-generated media (images, video, music, sound effects, voiceovers)
|
|
- User wants to transcode, change resolution, or reframe for social platforms
|
|
- User needs real-time screen or audio capture with AI transcription
|
|
- User asks for playable streaming links for any video output
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Install the skill
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npx skills add video-db/skills
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Run setup
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/videodb setup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The agent guides API key setup ($20 free credits, no credit card), installs the SDK, and verifies the connection.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, set the API key manually:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export VIDEO_DB_API_KEY=sk-xxx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Install the SDK
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install "videodb[capture]" python-dotenv
|
|
```
|
|
