AI Video Workflow Summary

Jun 16, 2025

Summary

  • The meeting covered a comprehensive walkthrough of a fully automated AI workflow for creating and publishing viral short-form videos using a no-code, five-step system.
  • Key topics included: sourcing content from Google Sheets, generating images and videos with AI, adding custom audio, rendering final assets, and posting across major social platforms.
  • Details on required resources, step-by-step setup instructions, cost breakdown, and community support offerings were discussed.
  • Attendees were guided through accessing all necessary templates, setup guides, and API integrations to enable the system in under 10 minutes.

Action Items

  • (Ongoing – All Users): Download the workflow and resources from the linked community post.
  • (Ongoing – All Users): Set up all relevant API keys and credentials for Open Router, FAL AI, 11 Labs, Creatmate, and Botato.
  • (Ongoing – All Users): Connect and copy the Google Sheet template into personal Google Drive and link it with the workflow.
  • (Ongoing – All Users): Import the shared Creatmate video template and update with personal API key and template ID.
  • (Ongoing – All Users): Configure Botato accounts and link social media account IDs for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
  • (Ongoing – All Users): Adjust schedule trigger and sheet inputs according to personal posting preferences.

System Overview & Workflow Breakdown

  • The AI system automates the creation and posting of viral short-form videos through a no-code workflow with these core steps:
    • Pulls categories and brands from a Google Sheet.
    • Generates prompts for images, videos, and audio using an AI agent via Open Router (GPT-4.1).
    • Creates images for each brand with FAL AI’s Flux model.
    • Converts each image to a video using FAL AI’s Cling model.
    • Generates a unique sound effect for each video using 11 Labs.
    • Aggregates videos and sound effects, uploads audio files to Google Drive, and makes them public.
    • Renders the final composite video using Creatmate and its pre-built template.
    • Updates the original Google Sheet with the published video URL and marks the task as complete.
    • Uploads the resulting video to Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube via Botato, using appropriate API keys and account IDs.

Technical Setup & Resources

  • All required workflow files, Google Sheet templates, Creatmate video template code, and setup guides are provided for free via the community post.
  • Users must:
    • Import the workflow JSON into their no-code platform (Naden).
    • Set up individual credentials for each external service and save them for reuse within nodes.
    • Use the provided source code to create the Creatmate template, then update workflow nodes with their unique template ID and API key.
    • Configure Botato for social posting, including generating API keys and linking social media account IDs.
  • Only minimal adjustments (like sheet selection and posting frequency) are required to adapt the system for personal use.

Cost Breakdown & Operational Notes

  • Approximate costs per run mainly stem from image (Flux Pro: ~$0.06/image) and video (Cling Pro: ~$0.46/video) generation, totaling about $2 per video.
  • Subscription fees apply for 11 Labs ($5/month), Creatmate ($41/month for 2,000 credits), and Botato ($30/month, 30% discount available).
  • Workflow is designed for ease-of-use and rapid deployment; most errors in posting (especially to TikTok or YouTube) can be diagnosed via Botato's failed posts section.

Community & Support

  • Additional support, advanced courses, and live calls are available through the paid community, which offers a robust knowledge-sharing environment.
  • Resources include foundational AI automation education and peer/mentor support.

Decisions

  • Distribute all workflow resources and templates for free — To encourage adoption and experimentation, all necessary files, instructions, and support materials will be freely accessible via the community site.
  • Leverage polling and aggregation for stable, multi-item processing — The workflow uses polling to ensure all assets (images, videos, audio) are successfully generated and public before final assembly and publishing.

Open Questions / Follow-Ups

  • Will future updates to third-party tool APIs or pricing require adjustments to the workflow or cost model?
  • Are there planned features for additional customization of templates or expansion to more social media platforms?
  • How is error-handling managed in cases of repeated posting failures or API quota limits, and will there be workflow notifications for these events?
