Convert Form Inputs to Cinematic Videos with GPT-4, Dumpling AI & ElevenLabs Audio

📽️ What this workflow does

This workflow turns a user-submitted form with country or animal names into a cinematic video with animated scenes and immersive ambient audio. Using GPT-4 for prompt generation, Dumpling AI for visual creation,& Replicate for motion animation, ElevenLabs for sound generation, and Creatomate for video stitching, it fully automates video production — from raw idea to rendered file.

🎯 What problem is this solving?

Creating engaging multimedia content can take hours. This workflow automates the entire process of ideation, design, and rendering of high-quality cinematic clips, eliminating the need for manual video editing or audio production.

👥 Who is this for?

• Content creators and educators
• Digital artists and storytellers
• Marketers or YouTubers creating short-form visual content
• No-code/AI automation enthusiasts

⚙️ Setup Instructions

✅ Step 1: Google Sheet

Create a Google Sheet with two columns:

• Title
• Generated videos
  Update the Sheet ID and tab name in the final node.

✅ Step 2: Google Drive

Create two folders:

• One for ambient audio tracks
• One for final generated videos
  Update the folder IDs in both Google Drive nodes.

✅ Step 3: Credentials Setup

Make sure all your API tokens are saved as credentials in n8n.
This workflow uses the following integrations:

• OpenAI (GPT-4)
• Dumpling AI (via HTTP header)
• Replicate.com
• ElevenLabs
• Google Drive
• Google Sheets
• Creatomate

✅ Step 4: Form Fields

Ensure your trigger form includes these fields:

• Title
• Country 1, Country 2, Country 3, Country 4
• Style (e.g., cinematic, epic, fantasy, noir, etc.)

🧩 How it works

1. User Form Submission
   Kicks off the workflow with the required inputs.

2. Format Inputs
   Combines all 4 countries/animals into a single array.

3. GPT-4: Generate Visual Prompts
   Uses GPT-4 to create rich cinematic descriptions per animal/country.

4. Dumpling AI: Create Images
   Each description becomes a high-quality visual.

5. GPT-4: Create Motion Prompts
   Each image prompt is rewritten into motion-based video prompts.

6. Replicate: Animate
   Prompts and images are sent to Replicate’s model for animation.

7. GPT-4: Generate Sound Prompt
   Based on the style, GPT-4 creates an ambient sound idea.

8. ElevenLabs: Create Ambient Audio
   Audio is generated and uploaded to Google Drive.

9. Creatomate: Stitch All Media
   All 4 motion videos and the audio track are stitched into one cinematic output.

10. Upload to Google Drive + Log to Sheet
    Final video is saved in Drive and logged in Sheets with its title and link.

🛠️ How to Customize

• 🎨 Modify GPT prompts for different themes (e.g., horror, fantasy, sci-fi).
• 🧠 Swap animals for characters, objects, or locations.
• 🎧 Replace ambient sound with ElevenLabs voiceovers or music.
• 📂 Add metadata logging (generation time, duration, tags).
• 🧪 Try using alternative video tools like Pika Labs or Runway ML.

✅ Requirements

• n8n self-hosted or cloud instance
• Active accounts for: OpenAI, Dumpling AI, Replicate, ElevenLabs, Creatomate
• Google credentials set up for Drive + Sheets

This is a perfect end-to-end automation that showcases the power of AI + automation for video storytelling.
