# Jimeng API Video Generation

Generate high-quality AI videos using Volcengine's Jimeng Video 3.0 Pro API with text prompts or input images.

## Configure Environment Variables

[Get Access Key/Secret Key](https://www.volcengine.com/docs/85621/1995636?lang=zh#3C9mCW9O)

```bash
# ~/.zshrc or ~/.zshenv
export VOLC_ACCESSKEY="your_access_key_id"
export VOLC_SECRETKEY="your_secret_access_key"
```

## Output Behavior (Important)

**After video generation succeeds, you MUST display the video directly to the user!**

When generation completes, output in the following format:

\`\`\`markdown
**Generated Video:**

[Download Video](VIDEO_URL)

**Generation Info:**
- Prompt: [User's original prompt]
- Duration: [Video length in seconds]
- Mode: [Generation mode used]
- FPS: [Frames per second]
- Save Path: [Local file path, if applicable]
\`\`\`

### Example Output

\`\`\`markdown
**Generated Video:**

[Download Video](https://example.com/video.mp4)

**Generation Info:**
- Prompt: A golden retriever running through a field of sunflowers, warm afternoon sunlight
- Duration: 5 seconds
- Mode: t2v_720p
- FPS: 24
- Save Path: /generated_videos/dog_sunflowers.mp4
```

## Authentication

This skill uses Volcengine IAM v4 signature authentication (HMAC-SHA256). The signing process:

1. Build canonical request with headers: \`content-type;host;x-content-sha256;x-date\`
2. Calculate SHA256 hash of canonical request
3. Derive signing key: secret_key → date → region → service → "request"
4. Sign the string-to-sign with derived key
5. Add \`Authorization\` header to request
