# Keep a clip as a reusable asset

`POST /videos/{id}/outputs/{output_id}/asset`

## Request

- URL: `https://clypmint.com/api/v1/videos/{id}/outputs/{output_id}/asset`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Keep a finished clip (or hook, or film) of a video as a reusable asset. Its asset_id goes in asset_ids of edit_video or create_video, so a clip can open another video, sit inside one, or become the whole video. Read output_id from check_video. Free. Cost: Free: no credits and no change round. Same as the MCP tool save_clip.

- `id` string, required
- `output_id` string, required
