Workflow name
Generate πŸ€–πŸ§  AI-powered video πŸŽ₯ from image and upload it on Google Drive

This workflow automates the process of generating AI-powered video from image and then generates a video that is uploaded to Google Drive.

This workflow is a powerful tool for automating the creation of AI-generated videos from images, saving time and ensuring a seamless process from input to final output.

Below is a breakdown of the workflow:


1. How It Works

The workflow is designed to create videos from images using AI and manage the generated content. Here's how it works:

  1. Form Submission:
    • The workflow starts with a Form Trigger node, where users submit a form with the following fields:
      • Description: The text description for the video.
      • Duration (in seconds): The length of the video.
      • Aspect Ratio: The aspect ratio of the video (e.g., 16:9, 9:16, 1:1).
      • Image URL: The URL of the image to be used for video generation.

  1. Set Data:

    • The Set Data node organizes the form inputs into a structured format for further processing.
  2. Create Video:

    • The Create Video node sends a POST request to generate the video.
    • The request includes the description, image URL, duration, and aspect ratio.
  3. Wait and Check Status:

    • The Wait 60 sec. node pauses the workflow for 60 seconds to allow the video generation process to complete.
    • The Get Status node checks the status of the video generation by querying the API.
  4. Completed?:

    • The Completed? node checks if the video generation is complete. If not, the workflow loops back to wait and check again.
  5. Retrieve and Upload Video:

    • Once the video is generated, the Get Url Video node retrieves the video URL.
    • The Get File Video node downloads the video file.
    • The Upload Video node uploads the video to a specified folder in Google Drive.

2. Set Up Steps

To set up and use this workflow in n8n, follow these steps:

  1. API Key:

    • Create an account on account and obtain your API Key.
    • In the Create Video node, set up HTTP Header Authentication:
      • Name: Authorization
      • Value: Key YOURAPIKEY
  2. Google Drive Integration:

    • Set up Google Drive credentials in n8n for the Upload Video node.
    • Specify the folder ID in Google Drive where the generated videos will be uploaded.
  3. Form Configuration:

    • The Form Trigger node is pre-configured with fields for:
      • Description: The text description for the video.
      • Duration (in seconds): The length of the video.
      • Aspect Ratio: Choose between 16:9, 9:16, or 1:1.
      • Image URL: The URL of the image to be used for video generation.
    • Customize the form fields if needed.
  4. Test the Workflow:

    • Submit the form with the required details (description, duration, aspect ratio, and image URL).
    • The workflow will:
      • Generate the video using the API.
      • Check the status until the video is ready.
      • Upload the video to Google Drive.
  5. Optional Customization:

    • Modify the workflow to include additional features, such as:
      • Adding more aspect ratio options.
      • Sending notifications when the video is ready.
      • Integrating with other storage services (e.g., Dropbox, AWS S3).

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/3088/3088.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.
