This automated workflow takes a static image and a textual prompt and transforms them into an animated video using the MiniMax Hailuo 02 model. It then uploads the generated video to YouTube and TikTok, and updates a Google Sheet with relevant links and metadata.
Benefits of This Workflow
- Fully Automated Pipeline: From prompt to video to social media publication — all without manual intervention.
- Scalable Content Creation: Generate and distribute dozens of videos per hour with minimal human input.
- Cross-Platform Posting: Automatically pushes content to YouTube and TikTok simultaneously.
- SEO Optimization: Uses AI to generate catchy, keyword-rich video titles that improve visibility.
- Easy Integration: Based on Google Sheets for input/output, making it accessible to non-technical users.
- Time-Efficient: Batch-processing enabled with scheduled runs every few minutes.
- Customizable Duration: Video duration can be adjusted (default is 6 seconds).
How It Works
-
Trigger & Data Fetching:
- The workflow starts either manually or via a scheduled trigger (e.g., every 5 minutes).
- It checks a Google Sheet for new entries where the "VIDEO" column is empty, indicating pending video generation tasks.
-
Video Creation:
- For each entry, the workflow extracts the image URL and prompt from the Google Sheet.
- It sends these inputs to the MiniMax Hailuo 02 to generate a video. The API processes the image and prompt, optimizes the prompt, and creates a short video (default: 6 seconds).
-
Status Monitoring:
- The workflow polls the API every 60 seconds to check if the video is COMPLETED.
- Once ready, it retrieves the video URL and uploads the file to Google Drive.
-
YouTube & TikTok Upload:
- The video is sent to YouTube and TikTok via the Upload-Post.com API (The free plan allows uploads to all platforms except TikTok. To enable, upgrade to a paid plan.).
- A GPT-generated SEO-optimized title is created for the video.
- The Google Sheet is updated with the video URL and YouTube link.
Set Up Steps
-
Google Sheet Setup:
- Create a Google Sheet with columns: IMAGE (input image URL), PROMPT (video description), VIDEO (auto-filled), and YOUTUBE_URL (auto-filled).
- Link the sheet to the workflow using the Google Sheets node.
-
API Keys:
- Obtain a fal.run API key (for MiniMax Hailuo) and configure the "Authorization" header in the "Create video" node.
- Get an Upload-Post.com API key (10 free uploads/month) and set it in the "Upload on YouTube/TikTok" nodes.
-
Workflow Configuration:
- Replace
YOUR_USERNAME
in the Upload-Post nodes with your profile name (e.g., "test1").
- Adjust the video duration (6 or 10 seconds) in the "Create video" node.
- Set the Schedule Trigger interval (e.g., 5 minutes) to automate checks for new tasks.
-
Execution:
- Run the workflow manually or let the scheduler process new rows automatically.
- The system handles video generation, uploads, and Google Sheet updates end-to-end.
