What it does
This automated workflow takes a static image and a textual prompt and transforms them into an animated video using the MiniMax Hailuo 02 model. It then uploads the generated video to YouTube and TikTok, and updates a Google Sheet with relevant links and metadata. --- Benefits of This Workflow Fully Automated Pipeline: From prompt to video to social media publication — all without manual intervention. Scalable Content Creation: Generate and distribute dozens of videos per hour with minimal human input. Cross-Platform Posting: Automatically pushes content to YouTube and TikTok simultaneously. SEO Optimization: Uses AI to generate catchy, keyword-rich video titles that improve visibility. Easy Integration: Based on Google Sheets for input/output, making it accessible to non-technical users. Time-Efficient: Batch-processing enabled with scheduled runs every few minutes. Customizable Duration: Video duration can be adjusted (default is 6 seconds). --- How It Works 1. Trigger & Data Fetching: - The workflow starts either manually or via a scheduled trigger (e.g., every 5 minutes). - It checks a Google Sheet for new entries where the "VIDEO" column is empty, indicating pending video generation tasks. 2. Video Creation: - For each entry, the workflow extracts the image URL and prompt from the Google Sheet. - It sends these inputs to the MiniMax Hailuo 02 to generate a video. The API processes the image and prompt, optimizes the prompt, and creates a short video (default: 6 seconds). 3. Status Monitoring: - The workflow polls the API every 60 seconds to check if the video is COMPLETED. - Once ready, it retrieves the video URL and uploads the file to Google Drive. 4. YouTube & TikTok Upload: - The video is sent to YouTube and TikTok via the Upload-Post.com API (The free plan allows uploads to all platforms except TikTok. To enable, upgrade to a paid plan.). - A GPT-generated SEO-optimized title is created for the video. - The Google Sheet is updated with the video URL and YouTube link. --- Set Up Steps 1. Google Sheet Setup: - Create a Google Sheet with columns: IMAGE (input image URL), PROMPT (video description), VIDEO (auto-filled), and YOUTUBEURL (auto-filled). - Link the sheet to the workflow using the Google Sheets node. 2. API Keys: - Obtain a fal.run API key (for MiniMax Hailuo) and configure the "Authorization" header in the "Create video" node. - Get an Upload-Post.com API key (10 free uploads/month) and set it in the "Upload on YouTube/TikTok" nodes. 3. Workflow Configuration: - Replace YOURUSERNAME in the Upload-Post nodes with your profile name (e.g., "test1"). - Adjust the video duration (6 or 10 seconds) in the "Create video" node. - Set the Schedule Trigger interval (e.g., 5 minutes) to automate checks for new tasks. 4. Execution: - Run the workflow manually or let the scheduler process new rows automatically. - The system handles video generation, uploads, and Google Sheet updates end-to-end. --- Need help customizing?
