1.1 Workflow description

Title
Generate videos from text prompts using GPT-5 and Google Veo-3
Workflow name
Generate videos from text prompts using GPT-5 and Google Veo-3

This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n.

🎬 GPT-5 Cinematic Video Generator (n8n + AI/ML API + Google Veo-3) This n8n workflow transforms even a single word into a fully rendered cinematic video using Google Veo-3 image-to-video and prompt expansion with GPT-5. Ideal for rapid creative prototyping, content creation, and AI-driven video production.


πŸš€ Key Features

  • Ultra-Short Input Ready – Works with just one keyword or a short idea.
  • AI Prompt Expansion – GPT-5 adds cinematic elements: camera motion, mood, color palette, and composition.
  • Automated Video Generation – Veo-3 i2v model creates smooth, visually appealing clips.
  • Smart Polling – Waits until video is ready, with success/fail handling.
  • Direct Output – Returns ready-to-use video URL for download or publishing.

πŸ›  Setup Guide

  1. Create AI/ML API Credentials

    • Get your API key from AI/ML API Keys.
    • In n8n > Credentials, add AI/ML account (Bearer token).
  2. (Optional) Change Image Source

    • Edit the Set image URL node to point to your desired still image for video generation.
  3. Run from Chat

    • Send a word or short phrase via Chat Trigger to start the process.
  4. (Optional) Extend Output

    • Add Google Drive upload, YouTube publish, or database logging nodes for a complete content pipeline.

πŸ’‘ How It Works

  1. Trigger – Receives chat input (keyword or brief).
  2. Prompt Expansion – GPT-5 turns it into a cinematic, Veo-3-optimized description.
  3. Video Creation – Sends prompt + image to Veo-3 image-to-video.
  4. Polling – Checks generation status every 30 seconds until complete.
  5. Result – Returns direct video URL, ready for your next steps.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/7328/7328.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.
