1.1 Workflow description

Title
Generate AI B-roll clips from videos with Veo 3
Workflow name
Generate AI B-roll clips from videos with Veo 3

How it works

1. Analyze the video – Downloads a 2-minute video and uses Gemini 2.5 Flash to identify emotional peaks, hook moments, and timestamps

2. Select best moments – Uses GPT-4o-mini to pick the 3 best moments for B-roll insertion based on confidence scores and emotional impact

3. Generate B-roll prompts – For each selected moment, GPT-4o creates an 80–120 word Veo 3 prompt with camera movement, lighting, shot type, and music direction

4. Create B-roll clips – Generates four 8-second AI video clips with Veo 3.0 for each moment and uploads to GCS

5. Deliver – Aggregates all generated clip URLs and sends them to Telegram


Set up steps

  1. API Keys – Set up accounts for Google Cloud (Veo 3.0 + Gemini + GCS) and OpenAI

  2. Credentials in n8n – Add each API key as a credential in your n8n instance

  3. Configure variables – Update the SET and SET1 nodes with your Google Cloud PROJECT_ID and CLIENT_EMAIL

  4. Set video URL – Enter the URL of the video you want to analyze in the VIDEO URL node

  5. Test – Execute the workflow to analyze a video and generate B-roll clips

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/15146/15146.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.
