Sora 2 Video Generator - No Watermark (Minimal Setup)

This n8n workflow enables you to generate professional AI videos using OpenAI's Sora 2 without watermarks. Create videos from text descriptions or animate your images with a simple web form interface - ready to use in just 5 minutes!

Generate cinematic AI videos for social media, marketing campaigns, product demos, or creative projects. The workflow handles both text-to-video and image-to-video generation with automatic status polling until your video is ready.

Good to know:

• Kie.AI charges per video generation. Check their pricing page for current rates • Videos typically take 30-60 seconds for standard quality, 60-120 seconds for HD • The workflow automatically retries status checks every 30 seconds until completion • No watermarks on output videos


How it works

• Users submit video requests via a beautiful web form with description, aspect ratio, and quality options • The workflow detects if an image was uploaded and routes to either text-to-video or image-to-video • For image uploads, the file is automatically uploaded to ImgBB to generate a public URL • The request is sent to Sora 2 API via Kie.AI with your specifications (prompt, quality, aspect ratio) • The workflow waits 30 seconds, then checks if video generation is complete • If not ready, it automatically loops back and checks again every 30 seconds • Once complete, the video is downloaded and optionally sent via Telegram notification • Clean, watermark-free MP4 video output ready for use


Set up steps

Step 1: Get Kie.AI API Key • Sign up at kie.ai and navigate to your dashboard • Go to API Keys section and generate a new key • Copy the API key for the next step

Step 2: Configure n8n Credentials • In n8n, go to Credentials → New Credential • Select "HTTP Header Auth" • Name: Kie Ai(Veo and more) (exact name required) • Header Name: Authorization • Header Value: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY • Save the credential

Step 3: ImgBB Setup (for Image-to-Video) • Get a free API key from api.imgbb.com • Open the "Upload to ImgBB" node in the workflow • Replace the YOUR_ImgBB_API_KEY parameter with your ImgBB API key

Step 4: (Optional) Telegram Notifications • Create a bot with @BotFather on Telegram • Get your Chat ID from @get_id_bot • Update YOUR_CHAT_ID in both Telegram nodes • Or delete Telegram nodes entirely if not needed

Requirements

• Kie.AI account with API access for Sora 2 • ImgBB account for image hosting (free tier available) • (Optional) Telegram bot for video delivery notifications


Customising this workflow

• Adjust wait times in the Wait nodes if generation takes longer in your region • Add email notifications instead of/in addition to Telegram • Modify the form to collect additional metadata (user info, project names, etc.) • Add error handling nodes for production deployments • Connect to cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox) instead of Telegram for video delivery • Integrate with your existing CMS or content management system
