## v2.1.0 — Catalog entities, spoken clips, slideshow themes, and OpenClaw

Version 2.1 of the TypeScript SDK, Python SDK, CLI, MCP server, and OpenClaw plugin. List VideoGen's built-in catalog on the Entities API, generate spoken lip-synced clips, theme slideshow-to-video decks, and install the OpenClaw plugin from npm or ClawHub.

### Added

- **Built-in catalog on the Entities API:** `GET /v1/entities` and `GET /v1/entities/{entityId}` include stock actors, products, visual styles, and slideshow themes alongside your team's entities (catalog first). Responses include `isBuiltIn` (`true` for catalog rows). Filter with `entityType` when you only need one kind. Catalog entities cannot be updated, archived, or given references (`400` `invalid_parameters` on `/update`, `/archive`, `/references`, and `/references/remove`).
- **Spoken dialogue on generate-video-clip:** `POST /v1/tools/generate-video-clip` accepts `spokenDialogue` (the line to speak as native lip-synced speech), `voiceDescription`, and `startFrameFileId`. Clip length is a whole number from 1 to 30 seconds. Set `suppressBackgroundMusic` to `true` when you will add music separately.
- **Entity ids on generate-image and generate-motion-graphic:** pass `entityIds` (`vg_enti_...`) so the model can use actors, products, or visual styles as identity or reference. You can combine them with file ids. A missing id returns not found. An inaccessible id returns a permission error.
- **`ADD_ZOOM` remix action:** apply a Ken Burns zoom to every eligible still in a project, including uploads. No extra fields. Use it in `remixActions` on a workflow start or via `POST /v1/projects/{projectId}/remix`. See [Remix actions](/remix-actions).
- **Slideshow themes:** create a `SLIDESHOW_THEME` entity with `POST /v1/entities`. `POST /v1/workflows/slideshow-to-video` accepts optional `slideshowThemeEntityId`. Omit it to convert uploaded PDF or PowerPoint pages as they are. VideoGen derives a theme from those pages so later slide edits can match the deck. A `SLIDESHOW_THEME` may attach a PDF or PowerPoint as a reference, not only images.
- **OpenClaw plugin:** install `@videogen/openclaw-plugin` from npm or ClawHub (`openclaw plugins install clawhub:@videogen/openclaw-plugin`). The package ships compiled runtime JS and exposes the same workflows, tools, projects, files, and entities as the MCP server. Set `VIDEOGEN_API_KEY` (or plugin `apiKey`).

### Fixed

- **API text-to-speech usage labels:** TTS started from the API, including narration on API workflow runs, now shows as via the API on your usage page. Amounts are unchanged.
