How to use the MoneyPrinterTurbo Video Maker agent skill

Updated · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data

The MoneyPrinterTurbo Video Maker skill lets an AI agent turn a topic, title, idea or script into a finished video file. It is for people who want a short video made without editing it themselves. After this guide you will know how to install the skill, what it needs, how to ask for a video in plain language, and what safety points to check before you let an agent run it.

MoneyPrinterTurbo Video Makerharry0703/MoneyPrinterTurbo · MIT

Quick start

  1. 1Download and unzip the skill. Download the ZIP from this page and unzip it. Place the folder in ~/.claude/skills/ or a project's .claude/skills/ folder.
  2. 2Get your API keys ready. Have a Pexels API key and an LLM provider key or compatible endpoint available. Skip optional paid keys unless you want those sources.
  3. 3Ask for a video. Describe the topic or paste the script in plain language. Mention the MoneyPrinterTurbo tool or simply ask for a finished video.
  4. 4Answer any key requests once. If the agent asks for missing credentials, reply with all of them together. The agent reruns the same job with those values.
  5. 5Receive the MP4 path. When the run finishes, the agent returns the absolute path to the final MP4 file and a short summary of what it contains.

What the skill makes the agent do

An agent skill is a folder of instructions that an AI agent loads when your request matches its description. This skill covers requests for a finished video from a topic, title, idea, prompt or script, including short-form, voice-over, educational, marketing, social-media and stock-footage videos.

Once installed, the agent sets up the open-source MoneyPrinterTurbo tool, generates the video, waits for it to finish, and returns the path to the MP4 file. You do not need to run commands yourself. The agent asks you only for API keys that are missing.

  • Default output: one Chinese 9:16 vertical clip
  • Default footage: Pexels stock video
  • Default extras: voice-over, subtitles and background music
  • Install location: under your home directory

Install the skill from the ZIP or the Claude apps

Download the ZIP for this skill from this page and unzip it. For Claude Code, place the unzipped skill folder in ~/.claude/skills/ for all projects, or in the .claude/skills/ folder of a single project.

In the Claude apps, you can instead upload the skill under Settings, then Capabilities, then Skills.

The skill folder contains two files: SKILL.md, which holds the instructions, and mpt_agent.py, the helper script the agent runs.

  • Personal install: ~/.claude/skills/
  • Project install: .claude/skills/ inside your project
  • Claude apps: Settings, then Capabilities, then Skills

What you need before you start

The skill installs uv, a Python tool runner, if it is missing, and uses Python 3.11 through uv. Your machine needs network access to GitHub, astral.sh and the video and voice providers. The agent must also have terminal, network, filesystem and long-running command support.

For the default stock footage you need a Pexels API key. You also need an API key for an LLM provider, or a compatible endpoint. Optional paid keys are needed only for the extra video sources: Seedance, WaveSpeed, OFox, MiniMax/Metaso, MuAPI, Infistar or Jalapeno.

  • uv (installed automatically if missing)
  • Python 3.11 (provided through uv)
  • Pexels API key for default footage
  • An LLM provider API key or compatible endpoint
  • Optional paid keys for other video sources
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

How to trigger the skill with a natural request

You do not need special syntax. Describe the video you want in ordinary words. The skill is also triggered when you mention MoneyPrinterTurbo, give the skill URL, ask an agent to install or configure the tool, need missing API keys identified, want a failed generation repaired, or want an MP4 located and delivered.

Use this skill when the result you want is a final video file. If you only want setup instructions, the skill is not the right fit.

  • Make a 30-second vertical video about why sleep matters for students.
  • Create a social-media clip from this script: [paste script].
  • Make an educational voice-over video about how solar panels work.
  • Find the MP4 from my last MoneyPrinterTurbo run and send me the path.

Handle API key requests and paid sources

When a required key is missing, the agent asks for all needed values in one request. It does not ask for keys already found in your configuration. Keys are never printed back to you.

Some optional video sources create paid tasks. For these, the agent explains the charge and waits for your explicit confirmation before it reruns with the matching confirmation flag. It never adds that flag silently.

  • Seedance: each clip creates a paid Ark task
  • WaveSpeed: each clip is billed per request
  • OFox, MuAPI, Infistar and Jalapeno Cloud: each clip creates a paid task
  • MiniMax H3 through Metaso: each clip creates a paid task

Safety notes before you run it

This skill runs downloaded Python scripts on your machine and uses the network. The source identifies execution and supply-chain risk, so only install it if you are comfortable with an agent installing software and running that code. Review SKILL.md and mpt_agent.py before first use if you want to check them.

If something goes wrong, the agent reports the failed stage, a short error and the log path. It reads only the relevant log lines rather than the full log.

  • Installs uv and MoneyPrinterTurbo if they are missing
  • Downloads from GitHub, astral.sh and provider endpoints
  • Paid sources run only after you confirm the charge
  • Logs are kept in the MoneyPrinterTurbo folder under your home directory

What people use it for

  • Short-form vertical clips for social media from a single topic
  • Voice-over explainer videos built from a written script
  • Educational videos that summarise a subject with stock footage and subtitles
  • Marketing clips for a product idea, when you accept the default voice and footage

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the MoneyPrinterTurbo agent skill?

Download the skill ZIP from this page and unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use or into a project's .claude/skills/ folder. In the Claude apps, you can upload it under Settings, then Capabilities, then Skills.

Is the MoneyPrinterTurbo video skill free?

The skill and the MoneyPrinterTurbo tool are published under the MIT licence. The default setup still needs a Pexels API key and an LLM provider key, and some optional video sources create paid tasks that you must confirm.

What do I need to run it?

You need an AI agent with terminal, network, filesystem and long-running command support. The skill also needs uv, Python 3.11 through uv, network access to GitHub, astral.sh and providers, and a Pexels API key for default footage.

Does the agent install everything automatically?

Yes. The agent installs uv if it is missing and runs the helper, which sets up MoneyPrinterTurbo under your home directory. It asks you only for API keys that are missing or unusable.

Why did my video generation fail?

The agent reads the short error and the relevant log tail, then tries one repair. If the retry fails, it reports the failed stage, a short error and the log path. A missing or rejected API key is the most common cause to check first.

How does this compare with editing a video by hand?

The skill trades control for speed. It uses defaults unless you request otherwise, so it suits quick clips rather than precise edits, a specific voice, your own brand or particular footage.

Our verdict

Use this skill if you want a finished short video from a topic or script, you already have a Pexels key and an LLM key, and you are comfortable with an agent running downloaded Python scripts on your machine. Pick something else if you need fine editing control, a specific voice or brand footage, or you do not want an agent installing software and making network calls for you.
