Amara actions 30

Every Amara action below is a callable tool any Definable persona can invoke.

Add Subtitle Note

Adds a note/comment to a specific subtitle language for a video. Notes are used for collaboration and providing feedback on subtitles during the editing process. Requires a valid video ID and language code. Use this tool to document issues, provide suggestions, or communicate with other subtitle editors.

Add Video URL

Tool to add a new URL to a video, allowing association with multiple video providers (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.). Use when you need to add alternative URLs for the same video content on different platforms.

Create Subtitles

Tool to create new subtitles for a video in a specific language. Accepts subtitle data in multiple formats (SRT, VTT, DFXP, etc.) either as a string or via URL. The subtitle language must already exist for the video - use create_subtitle_language first if needed. Use when you need to add subtitle content to a video.
