1.1 Workflow description

Title
Generate 8-second product ad videos from Drive images with Gemini and Veo
Workflow name
Generate 8-second product ad videos from Drive images with Gemini and Veo

How it works

This workflow generates an 8-second product advertising video from a single input image. It downloads the image from Google Drive, converts it to base64 for the API request, analyzes it with Gemini (Creative Visualiser), then turns the description into a short video script/prompt. The prompt + image are sent to Veo to start a long-running video generation job. The workflow polls until a video URI is available, downloads the MP4, and uploads it back to Google Drive.

Setup

  1. Connect credentials used in this workflow: Google Drive + Google Gemini, and an API key for the Veo HTTP requests.
  2. Set the input image file in Download ad image.
  3. Set the output folder in Upload to Drive.
  4. (Optional) Adjust aspectRatio, resolution, and durationSeconds in Generate Video, then execute the workflow.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/13920/13920.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
