What This Workflow Does
This n8n workflow solves the challenge of creating large volumes of video content efficiently. Traditional video production is time-consuming and expensive, especially when you need hundreds of variations for different products, audiences, or marketing campaigns. The automation connects Freepik's AI-powered video generation API with your Google Sheets data to produce videos at scale.
The workflow reads video prompts, styles, and parameters from a Google Sheet, processes them through Freepik's Minimax Hailuo-02-768p model, then organizes the generated videos in Google Drive with proper naming conventions and metadata. This eliminates manual work while ensuring consistency across all video assets.
How It Works
1. Data Input from Google Sheets
The workflow begins by reading video generation parameters from a designated Google Sheet. Each row contains the text prompt, visual style preferences, duration settings, and output specifications for one video. This spreadsheet serves as your content control center.
2. API Call to Freepik Minimax Hailuo
For each row in the spreadsheet, the workflow makes an authenticated API call to Freepik's video generation endpoint. The Minimax Hailuo-02-768p model processes the text prompts and parameters to create a unique video according to your specifications.
3. Video Processing and Quality Check
The generated videos undergo automated quality checks for resolution, duration, and file integrity. Failed generations automatically trigger retries with adjusted parameters to ensure complete output.
4. Organized Storage in Google Drive
Successfully generated videos are automatically uploaded to Google Drive in folders structured by date, campaign, or content type. Metadata from the original spreadsheet is preserved in the file properties for easy searching and management.
Pro tip: Use Google Sheet data validation to maintain consistent formatting in your video prompts. This improves generation quality and reduces errors.
