Automated AI Video Workflow Development
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I’m putting together an end-to-end n8n workflow that turns a single text prompt into a published short video, completely hands-free. Here is what I need built and documented:
• Prompt arrives in n8n → an image is created through my preferred “GPT” image generation endpoint (happy to adjust if you recommend a better fit).
• That image is then passed to an external animation platform; I originally wrote “n8n” in the form, but the actual clip can come from Runway, Pika, or any other comparable API you’re confident with—as long as it delivers a 5–15 s video.
• While the animation platform renders, the workflow should poll for status, handle errors and timeouts gracefully, and retry when appropriate.
• Once the render is ready, both the still image and the video are saved to a dedicated folder in my Google Drive, with metadata logged in n8n for traceability.
• Finally, the finished clip is uploaded and published to a target channel (YouTube Shorts by default, but the module should let me swap in other social accounts without rewriting the chain).
Deliverables
1. An importable n8n workflow file (.json) that covers every step above, fully commented.
2. A concise README explaining required environment variables, any API keys or OAuth scopes, and how to tweak prompts or destinations.
3. Proof of life: a short Loom or screen-cap showing the workflow running end-to-end on your side.
Acceptance Criteria
– All steps succeed on first run with valid keys.
– Changing the prompt or the publish destination requires editing only one node or variable.
– Errors (API limits, render failures, upload issues) surface meaningful messages inside n8n and do not break subsequent executions.
-Manual to get installed correctly
Timeline
ASAP is genuinely ASAP; if you can deliver a working draft in a few days and iterate quickly, that’s ideal. Let me know your estimated turnaround and any questions about the stack.
