An end-to-end n8n pipeline that takes a single creative seed and automates the whole chain — ideate → generate footage → add audio and stitch → publish everywhere — with no manual editing or per-platform uploading. It’s aimed at creators, social media managers, and marketing teams who want to produce short-form video at scale but get bogged down in production and distribution. The flow chains OpenAI, Seedance, Wavespeed AI, Fal AI, and Blotato across ~7 nodes, and is one of the most-viewed (210k+) multimodal video automations in the n8n template library.
What it does
- Generate video ideas and scripts with OpenAI + LangChain
- Create scene descriptions with Seedance; produce clips via Wavespeed AI
- Generate sound effects with Fal AI and stitch the final video via its ffmpeg API
- Log metadata and video links to Google Sheets for tracking
- Distribute to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and more via Blotato in one shot
Prerequisites
- n8n (cloud or self-hosted)
- OpenAI API key
- Seedance / Wavespeed AI credentials
- Fal AI API key
- Blotato API key + per-platform account IDs
- Target social accounts (TikTok / YouTube / Instagram)
- A Google Sheets account
How to use
- Import the template and fill platform account IDs in the “Assign Social Media IDs” node.
- Configure keys for the ~8 services (OpenAI / Seedance / Wavespeed / Fal AI / Blotato).
- Set the schedule trigger and adapt the idea prompts to your niche.
- Run one test, confirm generation and posting, then enable scheduled runs.
Use cases
- Batch short-form video across an account network
- Marketing teams scaling content output
- Creators offloading repetitive production / distribution
Notes
- ~8 external services, all usage-billed (video/audio generation especially) — estimate cost first.
- OpenAI, TikTok, etc. are overseas services; mainland China access typically requires an international network.
- Add a Telegram/Slack approval node for human review before posting, or disable specific platforms.
