AI video automation engine - generate & publish YT shorts with Veo-3 or Sora 2

Product Overview

Scale short-form content without scaling your team. This template turns idea discovery → prompt & text generation → Veo-3 video rendering → vertical formatting → multi-channel publishing into one cohesive pipeline. It’s built natively on n8n, so you keep full control, self-host if you want, and extend every step with your own logic.

What’s Inside (Modular Building Blocks)

- Idea Engine – AI generates concise, surprising facts and a visual metaphor per topic (swappable LLM/provider). - Prompt & Text Composer – Crafts an 8-second, cinematic Veo-3 prompt + title, caption, description, hashtags, tags in a consistent brand voice. - Renderer Integration – Kie.ai → Veo-3 (16:9, 1080p) for fast, cinematic clips. - Vertical Formatter – FFmpeg pipeline converts to 1080×1920, adds top/bottom text bands (15–20 words), and preserves loop smoothness. - Multi-Channel Distribution – Uploads to YouTube Shorts and Telegram for internal review/approvals. - Scheduler & Orchestration – CRON triggers, retries, and lightweight polling make the system dependable for daily publishing.

Why These Components (and why they work together)

- Veo-3 via Kie.ai provides a sweet spot of quality + speed, ideal for short loops where style coherence matters. - n8n brings vendor-neutral orchestration: swap LLMs, add rate limits, branch flows, or trigger on events—without rewriting your stack. - FFmpeg ensures a platform-native look (9:16, crisp text bands, no blurry hacks). - Separation of concerns (idea → text → render → edit → publish) makes it easy to A/B test any stage independently.
