Turn an image into a cinematic video with NanoBanana Ultra, Kling, Blotato

💥 AI Image → Professional Video Workflow (NanoBanana Ultra + Kling AI + Blotato)

📄 Documentation: Notion Guide

👤 Who is this for?

This workflow is designed for content creators, marketers, fashion brands, AI creators, and automation builders who want to turn a single image into a cinematic, multi-shot professional video, then automatically publish it on platforms like YouTube—without manual editing.

It’s especially useful if you already work with Google Sheets, n8n, and AI image/video generation APIs.

🎯 What problem does this workflow solve? (Use case)

Creating high-quality video content from images usually requires:

• Manual image editing
• Multiple AI tools
• Video stitching
• Uploading and publishing steps

This workflow fully automates that pipeline:

• From a single image URL
• To a cinematic multi-shot video
• To automatic publishing

All driven from a spreadsheet.

⚙️ What this workflow does

This workflow runs in two main phases:

Step 1 – Contact Sheet Generation (NanoBanana Ultra)

• Reads an image URL from Google Sheets
• Downloads the image from Google Drive
• Uploads it to a public host (tmpfiles)
• Uses NanoBanana Ultra (edit-ultra) to generate a 2×3 cinematic contact sheet
• Ensures:
  • Identity preservation
  • Fashion & texture fidelity
  • Consistent lighting and style
• Saves the generated contact sheet back to Google Drive
• Updates the spreadsheet status

Step 2 – Video Creation & Publishing (Blotato)

• Splits the contact sheet into 6 keyframes
• Uploads each frame publicly
• Uses Kling AI (start–end frame i2v) to generate multiple cinematic video segments
• Merges the generated clips into a single final video (FFmpeg API)
• Uploads the final video to Google Drive
• Publishes automatically to YouTube via Blotato
• Updates the spreadsheet with the final video URL and status

🛠️ Setup

To use this workflow, you need:

1. n8n (Cloud or Self-Hosted)
