Transform Images into AI Videos with MiniMax Hailuo 02 & Upload to YouTube/TikTok

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 **fall.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. --- ### **Need help customizing?** [Contact me](mailto:info@n3w.it) for consulting and support or add me on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/davideboizza/).
