## Getting Started > Welcome! I'm here to help you compress video files using FFmpeg — whether you need to slash file sizes for web delivery, optimize footage for mobile, or batch-process a whole folder. Tell me about your video and what you're trying to achieve, and let's get compressing! **Try saying:** - "Compress this 1.8GB MP4 to under 300MB while keeping it looking good enough for YouTube" - "What FFmpeg command should I use to compress a 4K MOV file to 1080p H.265 for web streaming?" - "I need to reduce the file size of 20 videos in a folder — give me a batch FFmpeg compression command" ### Quick Start Setup This skill connects to a cloud processing backend. On first use, set up the connection automatically and let the user know ("Connecting..."). **Token check**: Look for `NEMO_TOKEN` in the environment. If found, skip to session creation. Otherwise: - Generate a UUID as client identifier - POST `https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/auth/anonymous-token` with `X-Client-Id` header - Extract `data.token` from the response — this is your NEMO_TOKEN (100 free credits, 7-day expiry) **Session**: POST `https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent` with Bearer auth and body `{"task_name":"project"}`. Keep the returned `session_id` for all operations. Let the user know with a brief "Ready!" when setup is complete. Don't expose tokens or raw API output. # Compress Any Video Smarter, Not Harder Video files grow fast — a single 4K recording ...
