Building an End-to-End Automated Video Generation System

The system described in this tutorial allows you to automate every step of video creation:

1. Define movies as collections of scenes in Airtable

2. Generate images using MidJourney with consistent styling

3. Select and upscale your preferred images

4. Generate animated videos from those images using Luma Labs

5. Automatically combine all scene videos into a final movie

   
   

Setting Up Your Airtable Database Structure

The foundation of this system is a well-designed Airtable database with two primary tables:

1. Movies Table: Defines movie properties including:

• Movie name

• Width and height dimensions

• Aspect ratio (calculated automatically)

• Links to scenes

2. Scenes Table: Contains all individual scenes with:

• Scene name and status

• Image prompts and reference images

• Generated images and selection tools

• Video prompts and animation instructions

This structure allows you to methodically build each scene while maintaining visual consistency using MidJourney's CF directive.

Automating the MidJourney Image Generation Process

The first automation handles image generation through MidJourney:

1. When you check the "image go" checkbox in Airtable, it triggers a webhook to Make.com

2. Make.com sends your prompt to the Go API.

3. MidJourney generates four images based on your prompt

4. The images are automatically uploaded back to Airtable

5. You select which image to upscale by choosing a number 1-4

6. Checking "upscale go" triggers the upscaling process

Creating Dynamic Video Animations with Luma Labs

After generating and upscaling your image, the next automation handles video creation:

1. Enter a video prompt describing desired camera movements

2. Check the "video go" checkbox to activate the automation

3. Make.com transmits the image and instructions to Luma Labs

4. The automation checks if the video is ready (approximately every 2 minutes)

5. Once complete, the video will automatically be uploaded to Airtable

   
   

This produces stunning animations from static photographs, such as cars traveling on a freeway or drone footage flying through a metropolis.

Combining Multiple Scenes into a Final Movie

The final piece uses JSON to Video to stitch together all your individual scene videos:

1. Once all scenes have videos, check the "movie go" checkbox

2. Make.com retrieves all videos from the connected scenes

3. It constructs a JSON structure defining how scenes should be combined

4. To produce a smooth finished video, JSON to Video processes this data.

5. The completed movie is automatically uploaded back to Airtable

Managing Your Video Production Pipeline

One of this technology's advantages is the way it helps with production pipeline management:

1. Airtable views separate scenes connected to movies from "orphan" scenes

2. You can filter to see only incomplete scenes that need attention

3. Status indicators show where each scene is in the production process

4. Completed movies can be filtered into a separate view

Advice for Achieving the Best Outcomes

For optimal results when using this automated system:

1. When using picture cues, be precise: More thorough prompts result in better initial pictures.

2. Use the CF directive effectively: Providing sample images ensures consistent styling

3. Act quickly when upscaling: Request upscaled images shortly after generating

4. Be descriptive with video prompts: Clearly specify camera movements and animations
