Generate Text-to-Video & Image-to-Video Content with Seedance 1 Lite AI

Built with n8n + Replicate

This workflow takes a prompt (and optional seed), sends it to Bytedance’s seedance-1-lite model, waits for processing, and returns a generated video.

⚡ Section 1: Start & Authenticate

• ▶️ On clicking ‘execute’ → Manual trigger to start the workflow.
• 🔑 Set API Key → Stores your Replicate API key so all requests are authorized.

Benefit: Keeps your API credentials secure and reusable.

🛠️ Section 2: Send Video Generation Request

• 📡 Create Prediction → Makes a POST request to Replicate with:

  • prompt: your text description of the video
  • seed: (optional) controls randomness for reproducibility
  • Model version: b6519549e375404f45af5ef2e4b01f651d4014f3b57d3270b430e0523bad9835

Benefit: Kickstarts AI video generation from just a simple text prompt.

🔍 Section 3: Track the Prediction

• 📦 Extract Prediction ID → Stores predictionId, status, and predictionUrl for polling.

• ⏳ Wait → Pauses 2 seconds between checks.

• 🔁 Check Prediction Status → Calls Replicate to see if the video is ready.

• ✅ Check If Complete → Branches:

  • If status = succeeded → continue.
  • Else → loop back to Wait until it’s finished.

Benefit: Ensures the workflow patiently monitors progress without timing out.

📽️ Section 4: Process & Return Results

• 📦 Process Result → Outputs a clean response containing:

  • status
  • video_url (generated video)
  • metrics
  • created_at & completed_at
  • model: bytedance/seedance-1-lite

Benefit: Gives you structured data and the direct video link, ready to share or store.
