Step-by-Step Guide to Automating Video Creation with Seedance and n8n

In this blog, we will take a deep dive into how to automate video creation via Seedance, an AI video-making model, and n8n, a workflow automation tool. It includes setting up, creating workflows and integrating with Google Sheets and Wave Speed AI API to create top-notch videos.

In today’s digital scenario, the video material is king. With the rise of platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, the demand for Confucian video content has taken off. In this blog post, we will find out how to automate video construction using Seedance, an advanced AI video generation model developed by TikTok creators, in combination with a powerful workflow automation tool, N8N.

What is Seedance?

Seedance: An advanced AI video generation model. Seedance is an advanced AI video generation model that enables you to make videos from text or images. It has many improvements over its predecessor, V3, and you can now create videos for up to 10 seconds in full HD (1080p) quality, as well as choose ratio settings (ie 9:16 or 1:1). This is what also makes it ideal for social media sites like Instagram, TikTok and YouTube Shorts.

Setting Up the Workflow

We’ll use the Wave Speed AI API to create videos with Seedance. This is by step-by-step guide on how to set up the workflow in n8n.

Step 1: Prepare Your Data

We need our data to be ready to go before we can build a workflow. Let’s assume, for this example, you want a Google Sheet that contains information on services offered by a beauty salon in Dubai. For example, the sheet will include hair colouring, hair ironingand full highlights.

Step 2: Create the Workflow. Let’s jump into building the workflow in n8n.

Trigger Node: First of all, add a Trigger node that will be used to run the workflow. This bot will pull in service information from the Google Sheet.

Fetch Service Details: Use the Google Sheets node to retrieve the list of services. This will allow us to randomly select a service for video generation.

Random Selection: Implement a code node that randomly selects one service from the list of 93 items fetched from the Google Sheet.

Generate Video Prompt: Pass the selected service details to an OpenAI model to generate a video prompt. Ensure that the prompt is concise and fits within the 500-character limit required by Seedance.

Save Video Prompt: Store the generated video prompt in another Google Sheet for reference. This will help in tracking the prompts used for video generation.

Step 3 :

HTTP Request Node: Set up an HTTP request node to send the video prompt to the Seedance model via the Wave Speed AI API. Ensure that you include the necessary authentication details.

Wait for Video Generation: After submitting the video prompt, add a wait node to pause the workflow for approximately three minutes, as video generation typically takes this long.

Check Video Status: Implement a conditional check to see if the video output is available. If the output is null, the workflow will wait for another three minutes and check again.

Retrieve Video: Once the video is generated, use another HTTP request node to retrieve the video file. This step involves passing the necessary authorisation details to access the generated video.

Step 4: Save the Video

Save to Google Drive: After successfully retrieving the video file, set up a node to save the video to your Google Drive. Name the file using a timestamp to ensure uniqueness.

Final Review: Check the generated video to ensure it aligns with your expectations. If needed, tweak the prompt settings to improve the final result.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can automate the process of creating attractive videos using seeds and N8n.
