Generate & Publish AI Cinematic Videos to YouTube Shorts using VEO3 & Gemini

How it Works

This workflow uses VEO3 to generate surreal cinematic AI videos at a fraction of the cost compared to Google’s standard video generation APIs.
With it, you can automatically run a YouTube Shorts channel (and optionally Instagram uploads) that posts new AI videos every day — completely automated.

Workflow Overview

1. Schedule Trigger

   • Runs automatically at your chosen times (e.g., twice per day).

2. AI Prompt Generator

   • Creates a detailed video idea based on your chosen niche.
   • You only need to adapt the system prompt to your theme (e.g., Travel Facts, Tech Visuals, Mini-Facts, Impossible Realities, Food Illusions).
   • Output includes:
     • Video Prompt (for VEO3 API)
     • Social Caption with hashtags
     • YouTube Title
     • YouTube Description

3. VEO3 Video Generation

   • Sends the prompt to KIE AI VEO3 (model: veo3_fast).
   • Produces 9:16 vertical short-form videos optimized for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels.
   • Significantly cheaper than Google’s Video AI while delivering cinematic quality.

4. Publishing

   • Uploads automatically to YouTube Shorts (with AI-generated titles, descriptions, tags).
   • In parallel, posts the same video to a Telegram channel (Instagram upload possible with a small modification).

Why Use This Workflow?

• Cost Advantage:

  • Google’s video generation is very expensive.
  • VEO3 costs are much lower, making it possible to publish multiple Shorts every day without breaking your budget.

• Automated Channel Growth:

  • Build a fully automated YouTube Shorts channel.
  • Post fresh videos daily → more reach, more chances to go viral.

• Flexible Niches:

  • Simply edit the system prompt to match your niche.
  • Examples:
    • Mini Facts Channel
    • Surreal Visual Loops
    • Tech Explainers in Visual Form
    • Food or Nature Illusions
  • The AI adapts automatically to your theme.

• Cross-Platform:

  • Out of the box: YouTube + Telegram.
  • With small adjustments: Instagram Reels, TikTok uploads possible.

Setup Steps

1. Get API Keys:

   • KIE AI VEO3 API key.
   • YouTube API credentials (OAuth2).
   • (Optional) Telegram Bot API or Instagram Graph API.

2. Configure Schedule:

   • Define how often you want new videos (e.g., 1–5 per day).

3. Adapt Prompts:

   • Change the AI Agent system prompt to your target niche.

4. Run & Scale:

   • Let the workflow run automatically.
   • Watch your channel fill with new daily Shorts.

Tips & Notes

• With VEO3 you can experiment with higher volume since costs are predictable and far lower than Google.
• Start with one niche channel → once it works, clone the workflow to build multiple parallel AI-driven channels.
• Always respect YouTube/Instagram guidelines when posting automated content.
• Adding background music layers or captions can further increase virality.

⚡ Summary:
With this template you can create an AI-powered YouTube Shorts machine that runs on autopilot.
Just choose your niche, adjust the prompt, and let VEO3 + n8n handle video creation, uploading, and scaling — cheaper, faster, and smarter than traditional Google Video AI.
