Generate TikTok and Instagram reel clips from YouTube videos with Vizard AI

What This Workflow Does

Automatically extract viral moments from YouTube videos and publish to social media platforms.

Quick Start Guide

1. Configure Settings

Open the Configuration node and fill in:

• Vizard AI API Key (required)
• Scheduled Publish Time (optional, Unix timestamp format e.g., 1767605047792)
• Viral Score Threshold (0-10, filters clips by viral potential)
• Export Mode settings (auto_publish or download)

2. Execute & Submit

Click Execute Workflow, enter the YouTube video URL in the form, and submit to start the automation.

How It Works

The workflow follows these steps:

1. Form Submission - You provide a YouTube video URL
2. AI Processing - Vizard AI analyzes the video and extracts potential viral clips
3. Viral Scoring - Each clip receives a viral potential score (0-10)
4. Filtering - Only clips above your threshold score proceed
5. Publishing Decision - Based on your settings, clips are either:
   • Scheduled for future posting at your specified time
   • Posted immediately to social media
   • Downloaded for manual review

Prerequisites

Before using this workflow:

• Vizard AI account with API key (get from vizard.ai)
• Social media account credentials (if using auto_publish mode)
• Active n8n instance

Configuration Parameters

vizard_api_key (required)
Your Vizard AI API key for video processing

viral_score_threshold (default: 5)
Minimum score for clips to be published (range: 0-10). Lower values allow more clips through, higher values are more selective.

export_mode (required)
Choose auto_publish or download

schedule_time (optional)
Unix timestamp for scheduled publishing (e.g., 1767605047792). Leave empty for instant posting. You can convert dates to timestamps at epochconverter.com

Tips for Best Results

💡 Default threshold of 5 is moderate - increase to 7-8 for only top-quality clips, or lower to 3-4 for more volume

💡 Test with download mode first before enabling auto_publish

💡 Use scheduled publishing during peak engagement hours

💡 Longer videos (10+ minutes) typically generate more clip options

💡 To get Unix timestamp: visit epochconverter.com or use new Date('2025-01-15 14:00').getTime() in browser console

Troubleshooting

Workflow stuck at "Wait" node?
Check your Vizard API key is valid and has available credits

No clips generated?
Try lowering the viral_score_threshold to 3-4 or use a different video with more dynamic content

Publishing failed?
Verify social media credentials are properly configured in the workflow

Wrong publish time?
Double-check your Unix timestamp is in milliseconds (13 digits), not seconds (10 digits)
