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

  1. 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.

  2. 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).

  3. 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.

  4. 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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
